Neverigine - 5.10a

Fun route, not too difficult but had to think it through.

good finish and good start.

Fun climb. Traverse at the start on a big juggy ledge, then a first crux when you transition to the straight up part of the route, then some fun moves that make you think a little up to a huge mantle ledge that you stand on, then the second crux move from the ledge to the top which, IMO, is more than a .10a move, not because it is strenuous, but because it requires bouldery finesse. I always choose this as a warmup at Nevermind, and I'm always sorry I do because it is a little long and pumpy for my personal warmup taste. Overall, a very fun, challenging climb for a .10a climber. P.s., cleaning your gear off the traverse is yet another challenge.

Awesome route that traverses right and then cuts straight up over a ledge and onto the finishing bulge. I did this route when it was partially wet, or when the most important hold was wet, a pinch at the crux but it turns out you can do the move without it. In the end I would definitely do this route again, it had a fun traversing start on good holds and it was long enough to keep me entertained.
