Ascensioni in Dairy Queen Wall

Juggy granite crack. Yes, please!

Found it harder than Frosty Cone

The top flake is especially cool.

Logged as "Look before you Leap" in my Calendar but can't find it here. Or may have been "Chili Dog"

Took a little fall getting into the crack after the low angle section above the bolt. I was climbing with someone else's rack, but I suspect this would have taken nuts really well... I just didn't have mine...

Pretty fun route. You'll probably want a green alien for the bottom flake since I wouldn't trust the piton. Apparently an old piton ripped out up high as well, which accounts for the moderate distance between two of the bolts up high. I tried to protect this move with a tiny nut, but I doubt it would have done much if I fell on it.

Nice climbing with some tricky balancy bits.

Another classic J tree crack.

Excellent route

Fun.

Really fun. Lots of jugs and steepness with great gear.

Top-roped after leading "Frosty Cone". This felt, even on TR, to be at least a + harder than the previous one. (e.g. 5.7+ to its 5.7.) The gear looked like it would be good, though, and the climbing was fun.

An awesome and fun climb. The gear goes well, and the climbing is never desperate on good holds.

I was going to lead one of the 5.6s, but looked at this one, and decided to go for it. It does seem a bit soft, though, for a J-Tree 5.7.

Lots of loose flakes & knobs. A fun little climb but I was glad I wasn't leading it.
