start up a ramp then head straight up.  Mostly big holds. Fun warm up.

Valley 5.8

Some Kind of Wonderful

If I Told You I'd Have to Kill You

4 bolt route on mini tower left of Some Kind of Wonderful(11c)

Thin, powerful (and fun) crimping straight up the bolt line. Crux between bolts 2 and 3.

A clean dihedral with an arching layback crack that pulls an overhang onto a technical upper face.

As legend has it, Bachar commented that it would be 5.8 in The Valley after doing it.  Likely, it will seem 5.10 enough for most people, and it ranks as one of the best of it's grade in the gorge.

Originally it was a 2 bolt climb, so feel free to break the cams out.

Short and fun climbing up an arete. Bouldery and reachy moves.

If I Told You is a great technical face climb with one crimpy hard move, bolt at your face just over a small roof.  Great holds and excellent movement on this one.

Morning sun.
