Summary
Jill’s Thrill.
Thought we were going for a quickie 2hr outing but that turned into a half day due to some traffic on the route.
Cruisin’ (5.7…really?) to the Snag Ledge followed by 3 mini pitches of
Jill’s Thrill (5.9…soft) and exited via the
Southeast Corner.
Cruisin’ was surprisingly quality and fun while
Jill’s was a ho-hum disappointment (one move wonder?). Anyway, it was nice to be climbing outside.

Higher on Cruisin’ – what a fun little pitch and the highlight of the day (Sept. 2015).

Higher on pitch 1 of Jill’s Thrill. Kind of ho-hum (one 5.9 move?) – the whole route in fact…no wonder it gets no stars in the guidebook (Sept. 2015).
