Trad 60m Classic
Good old school wide crack and awesome position. Had to rest on the rope on the second pitch to get the #4 out, looks like it had walked in. Did all the move clean though.

First pitch is a nice intro to Angels style, although a bit too wide in place. Second pitch is crap really. Chris linked both pitches.

Nice Journey, fell off the second pitch due to wet shoe. Fell off the third pitch on second, due to runnel/crack being wet. We mostly climb the slab on the right for the third pitch.

Trad 96m Classic
First pitch (left variant) not great, maybe the right variant is better. Second pitch is an awesome sustained corner. we cleaned the grass so it's quite nice now, but still a bit mossy. Found the last pitch hard for the grade, compared to the other 21 I did at buffalo (maybe 22?) This pitch is still a bit grassy, but there is now a stuck nut above the last belay. Great route though.
