Time in Space climbs a bouldery 45 degree overhanging crux start and continues through all sizes from hands to chicken wings.

Time in Space is a steep burl-fest of a climb. The gear is bomber and the jams are solid, so give it your best and fight the pump.

The name was inspired by the feeling you get in the first couple moves..."Were am I?... like in time or space." OR it was coined by the effect of poor pump management because if you don't keep something for the top your going to spend a lot of time in space.

Nut Strut

I Thought We Were Bros Bro

A right facing dihedral capped with a thin roof traverse. Start off the ground pulling on good edges and jugs to get established on the lower stab. This section can be a little tricky to protect but small cams and stoppers offer ok protection (5.8+). After that slab, the dihedral cuts vertical and offer a wide variety of jams and face holds(5.10). The vertical section is capped with a heartbreaking thin roof traverse(5.11). This section protects well with a #9 bd stopper, so plug and chug.

This route would get more than two stars of it weren't for the bottom slab and its fiddly gear. If this were Ten Sleep, it would have been bolted and probably considered a classic. As it stands, Nut Strut is a good test for 5.11 trad.

The only warm-up in the gulch and the first route to be climbed. Climb the seam by pulling on good rails and solid jams. Save a #4 for the upper slab just before the anchors.

I Thought We Were Bros Bro

is a left leaning, overhanging, and sequential hand crack. Jam your way up on a flared crack with big moves and the occasional face hold.

This thing protects well but might be a hard one to onsight since I found it to be really sequential with a lot of sucker holds that will make it a lot harder than if jamming.

A no excuses, hard, trad limestone route.

Named after what was said before a friend was about to head up the thing for the his first attempt. "I thought we were bros bro." I guess he felt like he was being thrown to the wolves.
