Indian Cove (Billboard Buttress)

5.8 ** 1 pitch
I followed.
I can't really even call this bolted trad, because it wasn't a runout friction slab. It was really just a face climb, and a ridiculously easy one at that. It should be more like… more

A fun route, but crowded... and crowded with sport climbers.

5.7 * 1 pitch

5.9 * 1 pitch
I led.
This was more interesting, and was actually tricky at the bottom, especially considering that to avoid a nasty fall before clipping the first bolt, I had to start on the slab to… more

This route was recommended to me by Nathaniel as one to try whenever I got around to doing Tax Man. I'm glad I did, as it was excellent! Interestingly, even though this route is… more
