Avoid all of the "poopie" climbs at Torrent.
What's wrong with Sunshine and Moonbeam for a 5.10a cllimber?
Also--Wadcutter is a fun 5.9

I climbed Dynabolt Gold (10a) after checking it out while climbing Glory & Consequence5.7 and Limonite5.8 - Dynabolt was really easy for me for a 10a. I couldn't belive it. Really huge holds the whole way up, loads of fun and a HUGE confidence builder/booster - DO IT!!!

it's only a confidence booster until you think "i can climb 10a sunshine will be no problem - it's only a 9"
beware of using any one climb/crag as a benchmark for the "i am a 5.whatever climber" some areas are softer/harder than others.

Why you say that? I'm a sketch sometimes and haven't felt too bad leading them. Guess it jus depends.

Yeah, I know a 5.10 that is crimpy would be really hard for me... Dynabolt just featured my strengths personally....Hopping on 5.10's just isn't as intimidating anymore after Dynabolt, and they will make me a more rounded climber, trying to progress...
