Has anyone ever climbed these routes at Torrent Falls, and if so, what do you think of them?

Are those the new 7s? Probably a silly question.

Di ,you can almost see those easy routes up and to the left when you pull into Marks BBQ. The are short but not as easy as one would think.They have some cool moves.

I thought Onacaroni was pretty cool at the bottom but got kind of loose at top. I imagine it will clean up in time though. If anything it's a good way to get away from the crowded wall.

I have been on all three of the routes put up in the ampathearter at Torrent on past the Poopie Wall. In my opinion the one in the middle is the best, it climbs that cool looking rib. The one on the right was good too, but a little dirty up high. I thought that they were both 11+.
Now the one on the left.... Un Pile
Air Canada and I got on that thing last year and collectively broke 4 holds. One he stepped on and hit me in the head when it exploded off the cliff. Not to mention that the belay stance is on this sloping dirt pile. I tried to red point the thing second go in hopes that I would do it and therefore never have to get on it again, but alas more broken holds and lots of dirt at the top thwarted me.... haven't been on it since...YUCK!!!! Not sure of the grade but probably 11ish.
The real cool route Greg put up is the one to the left of Del Boy...check it out....not to mention if you keep walking past the 3 climbs described above you come to three more lines that Porter put up a long time ago...the one on the left is good...the middle one has a roof that is way hard to pull bd the right one I don't know, didn't get on it. You should check them out they're in the Bronough book under Church Rock.

I thought Jeff Moll put up those other ones under the Church Rock description?

Yeah, Tim and Mike suggested I do those routes, and I agree they weren't as easy as expected. Really fun routes though!
