| zoomloco | THE CLASSIC  | |
| led all 3 pitches os. I have a hard time imagining a more perfect climb. stemmed to lieback p2- maybe not easier but certainly a lot prettier that way. | |

| Deb | Waited So Long Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2011 | |
| I let the start of this beast freak me out 8 years ago, but I finally did! SO MUCH LIE-BACKING! It's not so scary now. Awesome route with a little bit of everything. | |

| StevieRay | Great Climb | |
| This was my first climb at Tahquitz in 2007, what a great way to be introduced to a historic climbing spot. Bring two #4 C4s. | |

| Had the entire Tahquitz Rock all to ourselves on a gorgeous mid-winter day. Ivy let me lead all 3 pitches... loved this route, hope to climb it again. | |

| Still fun despite waiting ~2 hrs for the self-professed "fast" party ahead of us. | |

| ...we always seemed to do this route when we couldn't think of what else to climb. Rather classic. | |

| ChugachMan | Awesome | |
| Was one of my first routes at Tahquitz, and fondly remembered as a fantastic day. Loved the first two pitches. | |

| fatdad | A fun and historic route | |
| I've been climbed at Tahquitz since the late 70s and have done this route a couple of times since. I always like to imagine what it felt like to Royal Robbins when he first freed this in the 50s. A palpable sense of history to it. I never found any problem with the first (crux) pitch, but always felt kind of knackered by the second. Go figure. | |

| bighornmonkey | one word....beautiful! Date Climbed: Nov 23, 2008 | |
| The start is pretty intimidating and I was debating whether I wanted to risk the runout overhanging start. I went for it and it was pure joy from there. Challenging but beautiful! | |

| Great day. Sweet start leading to a great exposed section. Then off the top in a true classic. | |

| jmc | what a day Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2008 | |
| Open Book and then Whodunnit. I followed the first two pitches and now I have to work on my crack technique and come back to lead them | |

| atavist | Crack kills... Date Climbed: May 18, 2008 | |
| Awesome climbing. For me, the top of the second pitch feels much harder than anything on the first pitch. I guess my technique in cracks still needs improvement. I was pretty tired after leading all pitches on Whodunit and Open Book back to back. | |
