Serenity-SOY linkup
Really sweet route altogether in 8 pitches. Started at 5:30am, topped out at 9:20am and finished rapping all in the shade by 10:30. Rapped the route with a single 70m, but would not recommend it. (If you do, carefully watch the rope on raps reaching base of the 10a Thin hands pitch, and also the next one to Sunset ledge: sketchy). Not a single soul on this route on a beautiful Tuesday morning. Levi led 1,3,6, I lead 2,4,5,7-8
A must do.

Bouldery direct straight up start but super fun
Lead the route which protects really well. Set a solid TR with 1 in cams at the top.

Don't waste time on this one
Only the beginning and the traverse to the left leaning crack were good. I wonder if route has changed overtime. Much more difficult than 11a even on TR. Perhaps it has crumbled overtime.
TR with Neil and Eileen after Popular Mechanics.

must do after Ace of Spades
Route felt a little bit easier (less sustained) than Ace, but very fun nonetheless. Climbed after Ace makes this combo well worth the approach. Route has rap rings.

Great route away from crowds
Nobody nearby on a perfect Saturday afternoon. A small nut followed by a high .75 will get you safely past the crux to a bomber rest spot to place your next cam/nut.
Super fun double crack that protects very well higher up.

What a hard route
Lead P1, and followed everything else clean except for the 10d where I slipped and scraped my left fingers pretty good pass the chimney.
Second pitch was the money pitch with amazing finger locks everywhere. Crux was sustained and heady but good holds are there to be found; keep moving.

Great route
Done in two pitches with a 70m.
Crux was definitely getting started on the chimney. I was glad I was wearing knee-pads for a solid knee/arm bar aproach. (First pitch was the best part)

Intimidating crux
Linked P1-P2 (I led) with a 70m then moved over to finish on Spooky (Greg led).
First portion of P1 felt awkward. The crux near the top have a flared thin moves at the top. I was one move away from getting the on-sight, but ran out of stem an had to hang. Perhaps is best to climb P1 and P2 separate to conserve energy if climbing near your limit.

Awesome as advertised
We did the route by (70m + 10ft simul) linking P1-P2 from Igor (I lead), and then linking P3 - P4 (Greg lead) from Airy Interlude. The traverse was fun and a little heady but not too bad the jams are very solid and there are features for your feet. Fun warmup route however, not a beginner's route.
