is Birthday the 5.10 crack on the wall right of Itchy Scratch?

No, that's Oskar....5.9+

no. not Oskar. This is a mid 5.10 crack on the face to the right of the offwidth/chimney right of Oskar. What is that one called? Nate, you remember which one it was that we climbed?

No Purchase, 5.10a

And Oscar is only 5.9-, no way 5.9+

ah yes! It was a sweet line. I must get down there again and explore some of the other stuff at Main Face.

Yeah, no purchase is great. I finally got up Itchy and Scrathy in one piece. Helps that it wasn't wet this time.

Ok so this is a shameless plug for my own routes, but Fred, if you like well protected low end 5.10 on clean dry rock, you might try Out of the Doldrums around to the left of Itchy and Scratchy. May not have even have been repeated in ~5 years. Also in a similar vein, Blue Remembered Hills, left again, is very good value definitely not yet repeated.

Cheers

awesome. I'll be looking you up to join me. I found out last time that you can certainly benefit from being with someone who knows the area when finding stuff at Main Face.
