OS lead
This was a bit spicy. A fall nearing the 2nd crack would be a screamer (perhaps with a thud @ the end). Climbing is easier than 5.9 in the R bit. Go for it ;) Fun climbing for sure!

Dope.
This is a pure sport climb... steep on big ol' holds. None of the moves are all too difficult, but this thing taps you out. Got the OS just barely. I think getting off the deck could pose some problems for some... aside from that, keep moving!
PS: the holds about a meter below the 2nd bolt are about to blow... it would be a pity if they went, real interesting, wide pinches up to a jug.

baby crack
I believe this is the route that has the (now gaining infamy) baby crack, ie. a crack that you can fit a baby into. Don't get too excited... sadly it's not an off-width! Rather a cradle like feature. The route is good. A bit hard off the deck with a few very nice traverse moves followed by a 2nd crux. Enjoy.

RAD!
Bad to the bone route. I did the traverse and just walked a #2 BD across... worked fine. I think you want to have some gear doing it. I did at least. My second worked out a fixed nut at the crux-- needed to be done, but he thought it was something I placed (sorry bro) so he had to take there, haha. Funny story. No way this is 10d, but it is a FINE route.

eats gear
takes nuts all the way up. Fun route and well worth while. Good example of stars not being the best way to gauge quality (1-star route that was more fun for me than plenty of 3-star routes I've been on).

????
Bolt is stupid and not necessary. Clip it if you want. Very easy bottom. one or two cruxy moves up top to a massive jug. Stupid route.

ok route
Cool start that leads to a boring upper 2/3. I placed a small nut out left on lead. It's a semi-tricky, but bomber-ish placement.

decent
Rap station is no more. only one suspect bolt remaining. Walk off left.
Not sure where the 4-stars come from... especially considering that room to shroom is the only other 4-star 5.9. This does not compare.
That being said, this is certainly a fine route. Reasonable at the grade. Spiderman (the crack to the left) is better, but stout at 10a. get it!

super fun
Reasonable at the grade. fun fingers + arete for the 1st half and then moved to hands/fingers. If you're at hemingway and had fun on Overseer, do this next ;)
