Glad to tick this one finally. Holds didn't feel so small this go around.

Learning the sequence and hanging the draws made this burn much easier. Blew right through it.

Loved it.

First bolt is high. I climbed about 10' then stick clipped it.

Great slab climbing on good granite crimps and edges that requires a little thoughtfulness.

Loved this climb. Great fun for the grade. Tricky little mantle move off the ground then it just opens into wonderful face climbing.

Sequence intensive face climbing on positive holds. Only 3 bolts on 40' of climbing with potential ledge falls makes for some spicey moves down low. Be careful on the move to the second bolt. Third bolt is where the route earns its name. Tricky onsight.

We did the 5.10a version which follows a more direct path up the mini dihedral forcing you to stay right of the first 2 bolts. This bottom section required a little more finesse on smaller holds but quickly gave way to fun 5.9 juggy climbing after the second bolt.

Fell again after the 5th bolt. The sharpness of the holds makes the condition of your skin a relevant factor. The Butcher will make you bleed.

One fall after the 5th bolt. Split my tips but it was worth it.

Pumpy and fun. Tricky sequence at the bottom.

Love using this route as a warm up for your fingers.

Loved the technical crimps at the bottom. Had more trouble with the campus and layback sections with bad feet. Looking forward to trying it again.

Interesting climbing to the first bolt followed by some nice face climbing to a powerful boulder move on sharp crimps guarding the chains. Looking forward to trying this with fresh skin.

Been over a year since I last attempted it and oh did it show. Managed the first 4 bolts with ease but couldn't remember the beta from 4th to 5th nor the 5th bolt clipping beta. The bottom bolder also felt remarkably harder, makes me wonder if some holds flakes off.

Runout on easy terrain after the 3rd bolt if you don't bring a small cam.

I really enjoyed this one. Stepping off the boulder is kinda cool and the route provides great face climbing. Be sure to pack a small cam, I used a .2 C4/X4 I believe, if you want to tame the runout near the top.

One take. Super super cold. Fingers were completely numb.

Only had time for the 1st pitch. Very mellow. Looking forward to finishing the whole thing.
