I only saw two lines right of the lines on the ledge (2-3). They were both on the right side of the hollow. Do you know which line is Jared route?

both of the lines in the hallway are mine....the right one is lobster claw, the other one un named. I know Jared bolted something around the corner 20 feet going up a slab....it may not be done yet.

Okay, thanks. I did see one lone bolt on the arete just right of your lines. That must be it.

The Sore Heel Parking lot. The same one as Purgatory, Volunteer, Gallery, etc.

Some of these routes appear to be out of order.

Which lines are out of order? I'm pretty sure they're in the correct order. Did you notice in the directions above that routes 1-8 are to the right and 9-10 are to the left of the approach trail?

Sorry, I mixed them up for fun over the weekend and forgot to put them back in the right order.

Hatfield and Delayed Gratification are beautiful, clean, and full on. Delayed could be the best 10c anywhere.
