Blocky climbing gets you into a fun arête. A few more moves gains a slab of immaculate stone. It's all in the feet!

The lookouts best 11a !! Enjoy this sustained superb route on fantastic stone. The ending is unreal and gains a excellent position. Technical and powerful! What more can you ask for

Fun climbing to the big roof where guess where the crux is. One move wonder

Climb the immaculate arête on big holds. Super great for the grade

Possibly the worst, loosest route at Echo!

This technical and very balancey, long route is a climbers dream! Feels like a total adventure

Great technical climbing up fantastic rock! No real crux, just tons of mini ones.

Very hard to read and quite perplexing in sections. Another technical masterpiece at the Lookout on amazing stone.

One of the best 11b/c's in the valley! A fantastic crux down low with a big move is followed by technical climbing with great rests. A steep ending with another short crux finishes it with a sensational position.

FA: Greg Tos

Hard for grade but that's what "D" grades are like. Stick clip is recommend as there is a hard move straight off the bat. Sustained technical climbing with a few more powerful moves brings you to a small corner/roof. A in your face crux surmounts it on sloppers. A very pumpy finish concludes it.
