Two more days with the brush and drill produced 5 more routes out at the Village. I finished JP Memorial which cam out as a 40m 5.8 10 bolts and gear (and a slung tree) to chains. Climber Quotes is another 40m 5.8 (maybe 5.9) 7 bolts and gear to chains. R, Like Rain is also a 40m 5.8 (maybe 5.7) 4 bolts and gear to chains. There are two ways to finish R, Like Rain. Sunday produced two more routes: Bear Aware and The Better Half. Bear Aware is 30m 10 bolts and one medium/small cam to chains, somewhere around the 5.8 realm. The Better Half is the bottom half of a crack system running to the top but the top half is full of shrubbery and clearly a water run-off crack. It'll go at 5.9-5.10 (not sustained) 30m and shares two bolts with Bear Aware with chain anchors. I started work on another 60m route climber's right but ran out of drill juice. Sam showed up later in the day and we got some top roping done on JP's and C.Quotes and were really happy with how the routes turned out. One more weekend and the Morning Glove should be all done! It will have the most routes of any rock out there so far.
