The only one I can think of is Wicked Games at Roadside.
Has this thing seen a second? I've never seen so many bail biners on one route.

How about Daisychain @ Military...the on-line guide says that t-bone did it on TR. Anyone repeated it on lead? The reason I ask is that I was browsing the guide book last night (the paper one) and there was a comment on this climb that it may not have seen a second ascent. I know the book is old but hey you never know.
I need to try Wicked Games...I hear it is a cold weather, tall man route.
ONe other one comes to mind..Special Impetus at Military. This one may not have been rpoeated b/c the Porter Hangers scare everyone off, plus from the description it is mixed...requiring one piece of gear.

What about Cosmic Sausage at the Lode. I've never heard of anyone doing that one!

Power2U, I think Jamie B might have redpointed it. I had hold break on me and ruin my redpoint. Did it clean on tr cleaning my draws off.It needs more traffic to clean up some sharp little friable edges.

Thanks T-Bone. I definitely want to get back there this spring and do both Daisy Chain & Etrier.

I never got back on that thing. I should though. It's very different. Special impetus and Cosmic Snausage have been repeated. Those angle irons are bomber. Dave and Bill R have both done ACWLF. But noone was repeated Thanaptopsis (s.p.) or the nothing to my knowledge.

A quick search of the Sloth revealed 15 sport routes 5.13a and above. Of those 5 routes had spray: Swingline, The Madness, WHite Man's Overbite, Omaha Beach, & Ultra-Perm. And it has already been mentioned that ACWLF has been repeated. How about Nagypapa? The pic in the guide sure shows a lot of chock on it.

I think James Litz did Thanatopsis:

Nagypapa has had 4 ascents to my knowledge.
