Smokin The Toad	Toprope	5.8	Trad	1 Pitch	130 ft
super fun mixed route

first visit to lower devils canyon, specifically hackberry creek
need four wheel drive to get there
fletch did a great job driving - thanks!
maybe a half mile approach down the creek, which was beautiful with water flowing through bedrock steps
no climbing pictures; they are all of the creek
mileage is from wandering around quite a bit
we stayed on the east side and climbed three classics
fletch led all routes
smokin' the toad: maybe five bolts and eight or nine pieces
ain't nothing but a thing: no bolts, need stoppers and small cams
we borrowed gear from some prg climbers fletch knew
easy street: seems like more bolts added since mountain project description
fun climbing on pockets, seams, cracks and small ledges - good rock
would have climbed another route, but needed more gear for disappointment and no sweat arete - next time
there are also some good looking sport routes on the other side of the creek
we managed with a 70 meter rope, but needed every bit of rope stretch for toad
a great day on the rock in a beautiful area
headed home with cheetos in the car for appetizers, followed by a huge breakfast at village inn :lol:

	Hackberry Creek	Medium flow	Medium flow
