Twice is Nice
"Amarillo" is steep and thoughtful, but well protected. Wonderful pockets appear higher up on the route. We liked it so much we climbed it twice, then watched two other parties climb it. Still loose and crunchy, but more traffic will clean it up.

Fantastic
Got on this new route and there was no one else at Texas Canyon, except the quail hunters. Great pockets on this route. Steep and continuous to the upper slab. Well protected.
