Revenue Village: Manfred's Rock; Climbed the last of the unclimbed routes

Sam, Cady, Manfred and I spent a lovely Saturday out at the Village climbing the last of the 6 unclimbed routes on Manfred's Rock. We started on the left side of upper Manfred's with Tear Gas Connection 30m 5.9 mixed which we all climbed. Next was the Un-Thaw Crack 25m 5.9 mixed. Then we sent Chickadee Chirp 5.10a 25m sport(mixed?) and Carlos Danger 5.10a 25m sport. The second to last climb is Party on Wayne 5.8 20m mixed (one bolt). The last climb which shares the anchors with Party on Wayne is Party on Garth, 5.7 20m trad. All in all I was extremely happy with how Manfred's climbed. The routes I thought were going to be hard were actually pretty easy and anything easy at the Village is super fun. The climbing/rock has continued to be a unique experience. There are a couple of variations to these routes that have been cleaned but not climbed on lead yet so I have an excuse to go back.

This fox and his/her twin were particularly curious for foxes.

The feldspar crystals keep pretty much all of the climbing out here fairly mild. Im up to somewhere around 60 routes now and maybe 20 of them are 5.10 or harder.
