5.8 * 2 pitches
We did it in 1.
I led 1.
This was a nice, fairly straightforward warmup. I don't know why on earth the book gives this two pitches, except for the fact that there happens to be a big ledge halfway up. But… more

5.10c ** 1 pitch
I led.
This was harder but less sustained than the previous one, hence the rating and the stars. The crux was basically one move, right near the beginning and well protected by two nuts,… more

5.9 * 1 pitch
I led.
This was fun and mostly easy. It was basically an easy boulder problem at the beginning, then a short jug-fest after that. I placed two nuts.
