"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Watchman North RidgeJoe A's and my umpteenth birthday climb, a great tradition. So little beta on this one, finally get it out there for you. Nice and long moderate. The final pitch is easy 5.10 if even and protects well with reasonable (not large) gear and no need to aid as suggested in the guide. The 5th pitch was the only surprise, every bit the challenge at the grade as the last pitch. The descent is much more straight forward than the guide suggests as well. Worth doing for locals at a minimum.
