Please do! I promise no real blood. Sticks and stones may.... then I can truly describe modern climbing and such. Might even get Geoff to lay out some of his Long Beach idiocy

Here are the "last five, scarier-than-shit, sub-5.10" routes that, as of one year ago I had not yet done. I have done all five now. All five were pretty much as scary as I'd anticipated, but they're now done. Once they're done, they're a lot less scary. And so, looking back in time now, all five are really, really great routes, I recommend each one very highly:

-  Flake Don't Break;

-  Pigeon Crack;

-  Arch - Up the Center;

-  Flies on a Pile (definitely the least scary of these five);

-  The Embarrassment of Riches.

These are among the five scariest routes I've done (lots of other scaries too, but these are recent). Well worth it and favorites looking back in time  ;D   ;D

Edit: Damn if I didn't fool myself. It must have been five left at the start of this season, 'cause Icarus needs to be on that list too. Icarus is a great route to have in my rear view mirror!

 Bad Astroman, oh I know it doesn't exist. It would have to be multi-pitch, stellar, and go free and include choss. I may have seen it in a heat induced delusion followed by a cold beer at the parking lot, except I haven't been climbing but once with JC, probably this sinus headache medicine is affecting my dreams.

Hmm, I'm sure there is a line in the Monument worthy of that name.

I'd say a pitch of loose kiddy litter to a bolt ladder to a water shoot.

I'm game.
