Ive never seen it, but why's it still project if it's a 12?

Got me man. I guess they couldn't catch it on a dry day? Spuzo?

yeah - Gearing has been on it and Eagleman...both nearly sent it but the very top near where you have to pull around the edge of the roof to the anchors is the spot that wouldnt dry up. That was in Feb/March....Haven't been out there lately, but with all the rain, I would say it's got some drying to do.

So this route is still a project right? Is it invitation only, is it red tagged, whats the scoop?

The scoop is that its wet...not really to appealing to stick your hand on the moist jugs or the dripping crimps. Joe put up the route and it seems like he's ok with other people trying it...I'd ask him first if you want to attempt it, but hope that it has been dry for a while...the roof holds are big flakes that go deep into the rock and tend to bring alot of ground water from above and deposit it right where you want to put your hands.

What's the big black square on the slab?

they covered the gaffitti with a big black square, we were thinking the Rage against the machine logo would be cool there...or how about a picture of a pink sock????
