Big rock california long sport routes some multipitch

Small route with no bolts at top (bolts were removed)

small climb in rocky canyon was teaching friend to belay on something that was a small problem

Charlene had her work cut out for her on her 2nd time up to box springs but she had fun which is most important.

Ethan went climbing for his second time.

Charlene is following a fun route up Big Rock. This was the first time she ever made a climb over 100ft since then we have been back several times so she can get the kind of climbing she excels at friction addiction much?

Caleb was packing his rope after bringing me up the route he climbed. (Charlene) The route down to my left or on my right side is a low angle sandstone slab. I free-soloed up the around 35-40ft slab and found good places up top to belay a 2nd up in this case Charlene. I would give the route 5.8 if you copied my moves. Weighing 230 I don't trust a lot of the holds most people can and do. However, if you use standard holds and trust them easily a 5.6. I do not recommend free-soloing to anyone. To verify you are on the right route at the top is a piton jammed in to a depression easily visible looks like someone used it either as a back up or rappelled off it at some point. Lots of rock horns to use as a aid/backup in bringing someone up top just look down the depression.

Trad route set by the ancient hardman Jeff Noffsinger

Trad route 4 cams is plenty but if you want to over do it there are slots on this route to provide even more protection. including to fixed wires and 1 bolt already on the route.

Awesome trad route with ample places for protection cams mostly all though to protect your start you might bring a few small to medium nuts. 1 bolt 3 quarters way up route and 2 fixed wires.

stellar 5.11c great learning trad route actually it has some parts which are 5.8 and 5.9 ample places for protection and 2 fixed wires in the lower area along with 1 bolt on the route. Great route all in all.
