Highly recommend The Entity! Climbed it last year and each pitch is high quality. Definitely do the Shazam finish. I climbed up into the alcove below the big roofs, then hand traversed on a rail to the right just below the roof, and then pulled up and stemmed across the offwidth on nice jugs...super fun and way easier than it first appears!
Route is definitely heads up, esp. on the first pitch as it is a bit run above the first 1/4 inch bolt.
enjoy!

Kris, how's the progress going on this?

All I can say is it's gonna get done. Working with the graphics designer now.

Perhaps something that rhymes with Bromantic Varrior

RW is way over my head this year, but I would love to try Don Juan wall again, and maybe Atlantis. Spook book is supposedly really good too. A lot of cool stuff to do there. Supposedly one of the best 5.11+/12- fingercracks is there. That would be a good flailathon.

Fat Dad, you should come out and join us for something. No matter what your shape is now, we could do some climbing or BBQ consuming. My tick list includes meeting a new STer for every month of the year. So far I am a little behind.

Nice offer Vittles. I normally have an annual Needles trip with a long time buddy of mine I met at the Camp 4 boulders some 30 yrs. ago. The issue is I'm still not back from an A2 injury to my middle finger. We'll see if the finger can rally.

This one is a bit different. People that are years ahead of me with their climbing say it is currently above their head or hard as f**k. I don't want to aid that particular climb. There are many other fun climbs to be had :) If for some reason I do get on it this year, and do well, that would be quite incredible. More of a delusional dream than a real objective though at this point.

A moderate recommendation? How about 'White Punks on Dope' 5.8+ on Voodoo Dome. This one defiantly qualifies for that show....'So you think your a Trad Climber'
