3 out of 5 stars First Time At Tick Rock

Interesting rock. It's sandstone, but hard like good granite. The routes/holds/moves feel like trad climbs. The start and first clip on this route felt a little sketch. After that, it gets juggier and juggier as you go up. Route is fun for the grade.

1 out of 5 stars Ugh

I did this as described in the guidebook. Only the moves up to and just past the first 2 bolts are interesting. Instead of climbing the lieback crack I traversed underneath it. The 3rd bolt I clipped was the one below the lieback crack, and the 4th is out on the face after turning the arete. Horrible rope drag here, so I climbed back and unclipped the 3rd bolt, then headed to the top.
