corestan's Logbook (6 ascents)

Overall, slightly harder than blue crab, but not really. The moss/lichen makes it difficult to climb while conforming to leave no trace principles, but is completely doable. Watch out for the pointed log behind you, best to have a spotter and wrap it up with a shirt or stuff a backpack over it.

Great climb, really flows once you can get your feet to stick. Crux is not terribly difficult, just a matter of hitting just right and getting it to stick.

Easy climb to run up for beginning a warmup, and a good way to introduce someone new to climbing. Also, right near hobbit hole so fun to mess around with variations while waiting for a turn.

Amazing route with solid/comfortable clipping locations. Definitely worth climbing more than once and a must do if you're up in the area and the route is open. Fantastic view from the top, worth sitting up there to just see what you can see.

Determined that this is certainly not the way Blue Crab is done, as it is far to easy. Pretty boring and not that great, all things considered.

Not sure that this is a V7. Feels more V5/5+. Did the problem as a direct, as I've seen many people follow out to the right hand side a bit around the "bridge of the nose" which seems to make it closer to a V3/4 past the initial power up to the ledge. Keeping to the left of the nose-bridge feels certainly harder, but not near a V7.

With it being such an elimination style climb, it is hard to determine what the "intended" route is. Too far right, but still "left of the crack/flake" seems too easy, too far left runs into the territory of king crab's description.
