Excalibur is awesome (watch out for that giant crazy eagle that loves to attack climbers). I thought Secret Swinger was loose, poorly protected and quite dangerous, even though it had some merit as an approach pitch to Excalibur. Is it just me or do other climbers think Secret Swinger is dangerous?

Fuddy Duddy definitely packs a punch on all its pitches at grade 15. It is a memorable outing, but not always well-protected.

The climbing on Tom Thumb is very non-descript and forgettable, but it is in a nice part of the world.
