Static is right. I was only joking because 9+'s seem to be much harder than 10a's. I don't know who you climb with and what kind of routes you get on, but climb anything 11a and under that looks good. Bring a stick clip and have fun. You can stick clip past hard parts and then you have a toprope. You might find some 10b's and 10c's or even an 11a that feels easy or your style. I really suggest climbing at least one route everytime that you are out that is a little to hard for you. Start climbing with people that climb harder than you. That really helps.

subtle spray ahead... Last wed I onsighted a 12a that felt way easier than the 9+ a couple routes down from it. It is all a matter of style and what your good at.

Dynabolt Gold at Great Wall in Muir is a good 10a. Its long, has a couple of good rests and isn't overly pumpy. On top of all that it's a pretty fun route too.

Moots Madness @ the Hideout in Muir Valley is great, To Defy the Laws of Tradition @ Left Flank is another good one. Fadda @ Roadside is also a good way to break into .10a Dynabolt Gold @ Great Wall in Muir is also another one to consider. The Red is FULL of great climbs in the .10s

Also, I know that some climbers newer to the sport, maybe that you maybe it isn't, don't give routes many tries. I know that I used to not. Don't be afraid to give a route 3 attempts in a day. But don't be like most of these jokers on this site that try a route 62 times in order to climb a route.

I am glad someone mentioned To Defy....That is a great 10 to break into the grade...Beautiful rock and a solid climb....one to be remembered.

i would just give up know. after struggling to do tens then you just have to keep struggling. whiskey and masturbation are the way to go.

Creep Show's hardly a warm-up for someone trying to break into the tens. The other suggestions are pretty good, although Fadda is a pile.

Hey Captain, did you mean Creature Feature instead of Creep Show?
