Denny Cove with Gabe
Three Star Salad Bar (5.10a) - Warmup
Ethical Procrastination (5.11a) - Rather challenging, loose rock coming off, bailed on a carabiner someone had already left on the final bolt before the finish. The finish was run-out and slabby.
Pressure Cooker (5.12a) - Easy bottom, cruxy middle with big moves on thin crimps, then 11ish from the crux to the top. I got this clean!
Empire of Dirt (5.12a) - There are three permanent draws on this route, and at each one of them I moved to the right after clipping it. This was especially important when moving past the first climber-hung draw after the last perma. And at the second perma draw: once you are above it, make sure you get your feet in the rail at the same level as the draw you've just passed. I hung on the rope maybe three times on this route, but I think I could get it clean with a few more tries.
