Relatively, one of the best routes imho at this particular crag. Pretty aesthetic. I started on the same feature as gRIPped, and then went straight up with a cool match and then left pocket to high right hand hold before the end. The LO lower off fixed carabiners are in good shape.

Some technical thin edge slab climbing and good old slab smears on this one. Happy to get the on-sight, and think it is about 5.10-, so "easy 5.10b" seems fair.

5.9 | ★ Hat Shit | 25m, 10 | Manuels | Wed 9th Aug 2023 | |||||
First climb at the crag, and counting bolt lines from the right, thought this was "Sick Like Dog" (5.7). So, figured it would be a nice 5.7 warm up. That it was not. It was not a very pleasant 5.7, seeming quite hard for the grade. Then I found out that "German Access" was around the corner, oops.
At least it was quite closely bolted. |

5.8 | ★ Shallow Grave | 10m, 4 | Portugal Cove | ★ Good | Sun 1st Aug 2021 | ||||

5.7 | ★★ Ivan's Corner | 20m | Flatrock | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Jul 2021 | ||||
Oof trad onsight and my hardest pure trad route yet. Consistent climbing with cruxes at the bottom on the shared part of Candy and then a crux somewhere around the middle or higher.
Definitely old school 5.7. Took pretty good gear throughout, I used from a size two BD cam and downward, many nuts, and a few tricams. It could be toproped to clean/follow/top rope with an anchor off of the Candy/Ass Master bolts with a redirect from a 0.4 cam placement just above where the corner ends. A fun beginning trad lead even if I did freak out a bit in the middle. A bit pumpy! And feels ‘overhung’ at the top. It was also great that it was very dry today. A bit of foliage mid route. |

Fun little trade route, with generally good gear. Was told 5.7 (and that local trad grades were stiff), so kept placing gear in case things got hard, but they never did. Probably 5.5, but I'll leave it with the 5.6 down-grade on here.

One of the better routes at the crag, stick clipped the bolt and had beta from a friend who toproped it before me. Good holds with a crux in the middle. The LO lower off fixed carabiners are in good shape. It's possible to toprope off the same anchor it shares with "Purgatory" with or without redirect carabiners.

5.8 | ★★ Acron | 10m, 5 | Portugal Cove | ★ Good | Sun 1st Aug 2021 | ||||
Flashed it after a friend had the second quickdraw hung and it was pre-clipped off bolt 1. I accidentally skipped the last bolt before the end, I might have been too far left, making the clip to the LO's scary. I would recommend actually clipping all of the bolts.
The route seems a bit runout between bolts 2 and 3, it's fairly easy and juggy terrain, idk about rock for bolting there. The last move clipping the top anchors I found a bit more challenging than the other routes, as the 'top jug,' seems to be on the 'right,' and it's slopey at the top elsewhere. The top bolts and hangers seem fine, but the two quicklinks at the top seem kinda rusty. See note on 'Grateful Dead' about having lowered off these LO's at the end, it being okay, but I'm pretty light, and it was only a lower and no sudden movements or swings. It appears on Mountain Project : face" target="_blank">https://www.mountainproject.com/area/108094394/cemetery-face There are toprope routes to the climber's left some easy topropes with two anchor bolts each. We didn't try these today, but we vaguely saw shiny pieces we figure are anchor bolts. Could probably do the scramble to the left to get to them, with caution, to toprope and subsequently walk down with the anchors (?) to clean. An adventure for next time! Overall, not a bad area especially with being so close to town, and the approach being super quick, even from the first 'lower' parking lot as mentioned at the end of the road. |

FINALLY REDPOINTED THIS ROUTE after having projected it for like, ten years. Had the quickdraws hung, but put in my own gear, the yellow 2 camelot and the green 0.74 camelot later. The crux clip then sequence was challenging, and the final moves after the last bolt traversing were challenging too. Was a great experience and so glad to have done this one. Will have to come back to do the ascent without pre-strung draws, possible to project '"Ledge Dweller" next time. Cheers, and thanks so much friends!!!!

5.11a | ★★★ Maggie | 35m, 5 | Flatrock | ★★★ Classic | Fri 6th Aug 2021 | ||||
Finally redopointed this without pre-placed draws. Had to do a high foot to get bolt 4 and also had to hand-tighten bolt 2 (it was mini-wrench tightened on the lower). Went to the new Maggie glue-ins after clipping the rightmost draw on the "Ledge Dweller" anchor. Was good to tick off, definitely pumpy in the crux to the first gear placement for a first climb. The top crux felt mildly better after a careful right foot placement.

Finally lead this after avoiding it (because it isn't like, good, it's just the most mediocre route ever). Stick clipped the high first bolt, climbed mostly to the right of the bolt line and was a bit to the right in the 'corner thing,' through the scrambly bit, then topped out to set up the toprope anchor. It's very... Well it's fine... I guess... Good one to tick off... It's actually not bad as a newbie toprope sort of...

As I climb this more, I wonder if a bolt added would be good before the anchor. The gear was probably solid, but it's right after the crux and at least to me, not as obvious as on the gear on Candy. Plus it takes a long time to put the pieces in and then there's 3 moves left or less.
Climbed this to take the quicklink left on the last bot on the face off. It is now at Wallnuts. |

Lead this on gear with my single rack and DB's extra cams sized 0.75-4 plus his large nuts and offset nuts. Placed gear with help of DB, apparently my placements were good at the beginning and less optimal higher up maybe I rushed them. Lessons learned are to try to place a larger cam in the space to get a better hold. Not trust pebbles. Place further in. Really test and set pieces. Either way it was a great experience and climb and very happy with it.

For gear, I had a decent tricam, a cam, and maybe another piece. Probably only needed one but I couldn't find an amazing piece like on Candy, though I'm sure one exists, I wasn't confident enough that I knew where that was. Super fun moves, classic climb. |

5.9 | ★ Honey Brown | 12m | Quidi Vidi | ★ Good | Thu 5th Aug 2021 | ||||
Lead this with a pre clip and the draws hung. Always a bit nerve-wracking the first balancy part and the slab part up top. Extended the far bolt on the right and the first bolt over the roof with a 60 cm sling (alpine draw) each time to minimize rope drag. Threw some loose rocks just on the ledge away. A not bad climb. One would have to make a REALLY long anchor to minimize rope drag?
|

5.9 | ★★ 1892 | 12m | Quidi Vidi | ★★ Very Good | Thu 5th Aug 2021 | ||||
Really fun. Climbed with pre clip and draws up. With a new crimp sequence out left instead of the odd downward dyno I'd done before it climbs more like the 5.9 to the left. Still challenging. Fun ledges. It was tough to get all of the quickdraws down on rappel but a lower might have been rough on the rope.

Comparatively I find this the best route on the face. The aesthetic 'squeeze' part presents an interesting chimney with a slight overhang on great holds. Very nicely bolted closely at the crux. Easy to set anchor (would probably go on two two foot slings and 4 locking carabiners, or similar. We used a 10m cordalette doubled over).
It is very possible to thread & lower on this route to clean it. |

A narrow TRash (toprope flash) for me at the end of the day. Big move to the second last (or last? Does it share a bolt with "Acorn" ? ) bolt that seemed to go even though I think it might have felt mentally run out on lead. Not bad moves, not a bad route.
On this route, the top hangers and bolts seem fine, but the quicklinks connecting the LO Lower Off Fixed Carabiners seems pretty rusted. Both of them. I lowered off them, and it was fine but it didn't look appaealing. For reference, I'm about 114 pounds for a slow controlled lower. I imagine one could go to the LO's for "Grateful Dead" to lower, but one would have to be on lead and then come back to swing and clean this route to do that, and would be probably unable to clean draws off "Acorn" that way. |

I didn't bother taking off my belay gloves, just climbed in them. It was, still, super easy. It was graded 5.5, I've down-graded it to 5.2, but not entirely sure it is even 5.2.

A narrow toprope send with lots of pump on this long and exciting route.
We couldn't get the rope to pull through from the bottom so we had to scramble down to pull it from the top. Options are to lead/follow, scramble to the top of yellow fever with the rope to rappel down, or scramble down to pull the rope. Could use some lower-off chains. |

Toproped this with the anchor on the Ledge Dweller anchors before topping out that thing and bouldering on the ledge (ugh) while attached to the rope with a trailing tail rope to try to set up "Yellow Fever" and then I toppped out the top ledge and clipped my active rope into 2 quickdraws and went to the "Yellow Fever" ledge. Then set myself up on rappel with the second rope and an anchor. Then rappelled back to the "Maggie" top hanger anchor to clean the quickdraws and drop the rope back to "Maggie". And then ascended back towards "Yellow Fever" to equalize the toprope and eventually rappel down it to set it up on toprope. It took an hour and it was the WORST. Even though I was never not attached I no longer recommend this set up idea. I will just wait until I am good enough to lead "Yellow Fever" on gear.

5.12b | ★★ Pot Head | 30m, 8 | Flatrock | ★★ Very Good | Fri 6th Aug 2021 | ||||
Toproped this as a project. The beginning seemed to go except for the one crux move after the roof, pulling from the matched hands on the crimps, with a right foot out right on a pebble, going up right to the 'jug,' and then cross through left to the good jug. Must need perfect timing, better foot grab, or maybe more lock-off.
Then for the 5th element part, I could do a lot of the easier moves linked together. A few takes up top with the tricky corner back and forth, sometimes it would take some time to find the sequence. Found the last move hard actually after the juggy roof. Big move. Lots of pockets and small crimps and body tension, hard on the fingers and skin, technical feet. The exposure is cool and it's nice by the ocean. A long-term project perhaps for lead, for toprope I think the 5th element part after that one hard move or starting from yellow fever could go within a few sessions but who knows if I'll get on it that much this season. Great experience |

Toprope projected this. Got to bolt 3 cleanly and did the harder sequence to four. Between 4 and 5 around the arete i worked on several viable pretty hard sequences. That to the end the moves were okey. Going to be a tough clip off that right crimp, maybe go to the left crimp but then what… or else use the arrête and a pinch to get up somehow. A project. Definitely on the very edge of 11 for difficulty.

Lead up to the crux bolt and clipped it, not sure if all the holds are in at the beginning. Then I fell, eventually climbed up using the holds on the left side to hang the route on 2 quickdraws for a toprope along with the quickdraws and worked out the crux section: For me, the left hand pocket, right hand to small thumb hold, left drop knee to left hand crimp, match then bump right hand to slightly juggy hold, set left foot high, and dyno to a good jug right before the finish.

Tried it again on lead, did the beginning smoother, but still couldn't do the crux, got too tired, and went out on the left side to the anchors. Clipped the 2 quickdraws, and then topped out and lowered off of one locking carabiner to clean the draws. Then retrieved the carabiner from the higher bolt from scrambling along from the left side and walking to the edge. It wasn't fun and I wouldn't really recommend it.

Toproped this to see the moves. Ended up traversing a bit late under the overhang for the finish moves of Gabe...

Finally got all the moves to this on lead, with the high clip for bolt 4.
Tightened bolt 4 but the hanger loosened again. Did the trad section after with a number 2 Camelot, a 0.75 Camelot, A sketchy brown tricam. Clipped the right "Ledge Dweller" bolt before moving to the newly installed glue-in bolts for anchors. Set up a toprope with one 120cm sling and 4 locking carabiners. |

5.11a | ★ Ass Master | 15m, 2 | Flatrock | ★ Good | Tue 3rd Aug 2021 | ||||
Entertained by the current muontain project description "With a first bolt 20 feet off the ground, way above a low crux that may or may not still be possible, Ass Master may be the least appealing climb at Main Face. Two closely spaced bolts protect the middle climbing, then easy climbing leads to the top. The route may be improved by adding a bolt" I thought I'd give this a go on toprope after having set up the anchor on Candy.
That might be it's redeeming quality, because the other option is "two or three quick draws, 20 ft long stick clip. Rappel anchor shared with Candy". Plus optional trad pieces which I'd probably place in the easy section up top. It gets easier as it goes, I wasn't able to pull the sit-start moves but then again, it's unclear with the rocks shuffling where it was intended to begin. I got a clean continuous toprope from having one hand on the undercling under the roof, my feet on, and then reaching around the roof to the hold, and onwards and so forth, tending to wander left to make it different from Candy before topping out and rappelling. Oh, and I also tried to project Candy Direct while I was at it. Spoiler alert: I didn't get very far. LOL. |

Went up to lead this for the first time this season. Fell before the crux, rested and finished it.
Placed a # 2, 1, 0.75, and a 0.5 |
