Routes in Sierra Nevada for selected grade

An unfinished project of Dean Potter †. Recently brought to the public by Chris Sharma.

An unlikely direct finish to Double Dragon that is well worth the effort. After the reachy crux on Double Dragon power up the rounded layback above to some powerful cranks on small edges before a tricky final dead point and run out

Super steep and powerful face climbing after the crux of Sky Shark. Climb Sky Shark to end of the traverse back right , clip the bolt and follow the shallow overhanging corner above. A dead point to a slopey rail leads to an exciting finish. The direct start was added later and bouldered but the entire route was never redpointed. ( 13d / 14a )

Sit start, then go up the balancy slab

One of the most classic lines in all of Bishop. Powerful moves with a crux just high enough to encourage self-doubt

Low start to '2x4'

Sit start on the left side of the bulge with a right hand crimp and a left hand sidepull. Make a move right and then bear hug your way to the prow.
