5.7 | ★★ Over Easy | 21m, 1 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Mike lead this, and had a bit of trouble with the thin slab section by the bolt. Possibly because I was seconding, but I had no problem at all -- looked at it, thought, then just climbed it with no difficulty.
The pull up over the roof is just awesome -- jugs, but big moves. Then more jugs up the face above, fun and easy. |

5.8 | ★ Cockabooty | 21m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Cockabooty has a few variations, we top-roped a variations with a 5.8 finish -- staying left to pull a few harder moves over the bulge at the end of the lay-back section.

A clean run before a clean lead.
To toprope it lead extremely well bolted Candyass. |
|||||||
5.10b 5.10d | ★★ Candy Ass | 21m, 7 | ★ Good | ||||
Very soft and probably overrated extremely well protected sport .10. A lot of next to perfect rests between moves.
Bring a long 48" sling, #1 red and #2 yellow C4 + one shoulder sling, and a cordelette to toprope Harding's Other Chimney and Candyass. |
|||||||
5.10c | ★★ Candyland | 21m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Fun lead, solid protection (two long 48" slings, about 5 shoulder slings, Metolius cams from #00 gray to #2 yellow, one optional #3 blue C4 with extension at the very top crack).

My first try on the route was not successful - hangdoged just after reaching the vertical crack and placing a #1 blue Metolius cam in it.

5.9 | ★ Corn Flakes | 18m | Average | ||||
Very soft. Left variation is a good liebacking exercise. Right variation is much softer (probably .8).
To make it a little bit harder and more interesting climb it in approach shoes. I was unable to use some footholds with my Five Ten Guide Tennies so I smeared thru the crux. It was fun. |
|||||||
5.9 | ★★ Lean and Mean | 18m | ★ Good | ||||
A good stemming exercise. Ensure you can do it smooth and fast before leading Fear of Flying.

A very soft and extremely well protected sport .10.

5.7 | ★★ Over Easy | 21m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
An easy warm up. Traverse to the left and topping out by The Prow (.10b, sport, well protected, soft) is recommended.
