White out is at least a 10d, particularly that 1st pitch. That traverse insane! I used almost every piece of gear I had.

I did Gold Digger at Hen's Nest Sunday. It it has everything from offwidth to face to chimney and of course tons of choss. It tops out and is a real adventure. Anyone ever pull that last chossy roof on lead? Don't try the chimney if you have a gut

The first 2 pitches of CruiseMaster are <5.11. The first pitch is super nice hands and an interesting chimney to thin hands section. The second pitch has all the exposure and excitement you can ask for and ends in a spectacular hanging belay.

Fox Fire is not crap! It is 4 pitches of crap and one good pitch. It is the only route in the Red that is more than 3 pitches. It is route finding, and hiking. It is exposed and scenic. IT IS TRAD!

Oh Man! Trad Multi-pitch: Fear And Loathing In Nada.
Funky cracks to a nice sit-down ledge belay(5.9, 75'), where you hang out and watch the poor bastard who gets the second pitch fist-jam his way out the overhanging, slanting crack that widens to a cool-ass thrutch to the top!
Second only to The Quest.

Foxfire is sweeter if you take your time.I liked it.Just pick a nice day to do it or bake.The walkoff is no fun in climbing shoes.The best pitch is wooly.

Is the R part on easier terrain? It sounds cool

I thought the 2nd pitch of Cruisemaster was kinda chossy. I felt like I was jamming in sand and stepping on eggshells. The third pitch though.........damn.
