Just follow the tape, then you will never be off route....

I used both, I guess I sent a different route. What about the huecos on buddha hole, supafly, tuskan, knee bars on harvest.....

Is going left on twinkie, further off route than the contrived more difficult climbing to the right?

Is going slightly to the left on Buff, further to the left than the pockets are to the right?

What about the 'cheater' rest on golden touch to the left of the last bolt?

oh yeah, and the jugs between chainsaw and ale 8...you can't use those for both routes...you can only pick one, but the correct choice is chainsaw.

The funny part about this "cheat" is that it is actually more direct than going straight right then traversing back on the shelf. I am ashamed that I was a lemming sport climber and followed the chalk.

the moves out right on twinkie are the best on the route....when i first got on the route i was getting pumped and fallin off on those moves and tried goin straight up to the rest but it was too chossy to climb on. enough wankers not strong enough for the route plus 6-7 years equals 11c

people skip the redpoint crux on cell block 6 by traversing right on the horizontal to connect to the next horizontal as opposed to going straight up through the 2 finger pocket and edges. their loss, they miss the best moves and the route and i'm sure cell block 3 is a really fun 11d

don't talk to me about contrivances in sport climbing either...
