Crimped

• Punk Wave - 10a
  • Did the first pitch. This is always so much fun to climb. I never have a bad day when it includes Punk Wave. I just wish I could climb thousands of feet of that climbing.
  • 
• Flying Frog - 10b/c
  • If punk wave never ended, then I want Flying Frog on top of it... I really need some offset aliens. The section between the tree and the layback is devoid of good gear unless you really have something like small aliens or super small cams. Such an awesome climb, I want this one to go on forever too. Has move after awesome move after awesome move. There is none of that, "ok i just need to do this boring section to get up to x move", Flying Frog is ALL business. 
  • Its not a 10 b/c, its like a 9, with a v2/3 boulder move @ the crux, which is really well protected. The only reason its not a 9, is the lack of gear. I put in about 9 pieces from ground to top.

• Sinsophrenia - 10a
  • Awesome route, I wish it was longer.
• Golden Years - 11a/b
  • Where are the Anchors? There are no anchors, we rapped off of The Cobbler on the left of the route. AM lead.
• Jennifer's World - 12a/b
  • AM lead this in style, I fell all over it. I have been thoroughly humbled.
• The Prow - 11c/d
  • Wow thats a boulderly start, AM lead this. I would have been scared shitless to lead this super bouldering beginning. That is a hard crimp!
• Rusty's Crack - 10a/b
  • Always an awesome route!
• Scream Wall - 10a/b OS
  • This route was spectacular. Damn cold in the morning, early crimps froze my damn fingers.

I liked the way we did it this time. Drop packs and person @ the parking lot, then the driver walks over to "the point" parking area and just walks back. Don't have to park in a church, and don't have to walk from the craven house. I like that walk, but only if you really want to end up on the left side does that make any sense.

This was an amazing start to my sandstone fun. Sunset is growing on me, it is a fantastic place... It really is almost as good as TWall. 

2 day fest!

first pitch of this... http://mountainproject.com/v/north_carolina/laurel_knob/106062623

then manatee fluid. Check out the mountainproject post on manatee. LA posted that about it after we climbed it. Its a great route, pretty sustained for a 9, but stellar grooving.
