Gameboy is the longest, as far as I know
Today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

those lengths are inaccurate. for instance, the Rifle man is maybe 70-75'. Snow Crash is 70-75'. The undertow routes listed are all listed too long- take off 20ft.
These are all 60 meter rope stretchers.

okay, I made the following changes. Lurkist, I went with your long estimates. If anyone knows for certain these are inaccurate, please speak up:

The Rifleman, 75ft (8 bolts)
Snow Crash, 75 ft (10 bolts) - 75 ft and 10 bolts??
Tuna Town, 85 ft (10 bolts)
Harvest, 85 ft (11 bolts)

Game Boy, I found it to be a great route. I have climbed it several times. There was a tree at the top of it last year covering the final crux to the anchors, but I think POWER2U was instrumental in removing the fallen tree and cleaning the route. It should be climbable to the anchors again. If you love thin and delicate routes the way I do, then this routes for you. Beware though, just when you think you've beaten the route, it comes back to get you with its thought provoking finish!
