Awhile back Brutus and Em and I tried to get into the backcountry, but got frozen out. In the process of redeeming the weekend with some climbing we climbed at the practice rock and Theron posted up some new topos for an area called the Dr. Seuss wall. thread here...

Yesterday, a friend was in town with his fam so we (ubergoober and I) got them out on the rock for the day with great success...
Uber solos Practice Rock...
Munge catches a ride on Lorax
I didn't get pics, but Uber lead an unreported line to the right of Sam I am (or at least I think that's the name given the topo). It starts on the face right of Sam and left of the arete. Pro the crack you can see and go straight up, above you can get another piece in, then at the top you'll have to tie off a big block with stance or risk a pendo since there isn't a a bolt station that far right.
On practice rock, Uber pulled the roof move on TR right of the 5.7 crack calling it 10c.
The Crag - topo from Theron and Bob I believe

Lorax was where I figured out it is hard to put in 5 piece bolts from a stance. The cone at the bottom is a tight fit. Good thing it was a good stance.
Glad you had fun. I put those routes up with a fun beginner/TR area in mind.
I've been thinking it is time to head back up there for some fun.
A side note on the topo is that "When You Wishon A Star" is the original name for "The Cat With No Hat". Bob gets credit there. It's the obvious line.

Spot on as good beginner area. Leading the 1 bolt lines might be harder for your average new person, but with the anchors it's easily TR'd on most lines.
thx mang
