Still Life 5.14b ****
"This is currently the hardest route in the region. It climbs the consistently angled wall on the small buttress right of the main amphitheatre.  A pumping 5.13b section leads up to a decent shake before the business.  Some v-hard bouldering involving a dyno or a difficult static move using a horrible sloper takes you to a big gaston, a razor crimp and the anchors.  This route was orginally equipped by Porter Jarrard but the first ascent feel to Joel Brady in 1999 at the grade of 5.13d.  While working on the second ascent of the route, Matt Bosley broke a hold and felt obligated to 'reopen' it.  He succeeded on Memorial Day, 2006. The grade is speculation as Matt didn't suggest one.  With only one repeat time will tell but it certainly lies in the 14a/b range."
