Named after a pumpkin launching competition.P1: Start the same as Knobtopia. Move left after the first bolt past two more bolts to a ledge with some moss pads. Finish below the anchor.P2: Move straight up off the belay. Clip the first bolt short. Move onto the headwall and clip the next bolt. Dance back and forth to figure out the tricky sustained sequence past bolt 2. Grab a sweet orange jug and keep moving up the delicate face past several more bolts. There is a runout on easy terrain to reach the last bolt. After the last bolt, continue moving up on easy terrain while keeping an eye out for the anchors out right on a big ledge.Rappel the route twice with a 60m rope.

P1 (5.9 50 ft): Same  start as Pumpkin Chunkin, tricky. Go up knobs and 3 bolts to a ledge, move left at the ledge to belay on a two bolt anchor. P2 (5.9, 100 ft): Traverse 30 ft left on ledge to finger sized cam placement, then go up knobs past a line of bolts to anchor. Bolts exactly when you need them.P3 (5.9-, 150 ft): move up white crystals past two bolts to a long easy run out, trending far left past the rap anchor and continue up the deep black groove to top anchors. Slight runout in the groove but on easier 5.7 climbing.

P1 5.11a 140 ft and P2 5.10d 100 ft.  Start under left side of tree island 40 feet up at a small roof in swirled black rock to slab to knobs. Once even with the tree island 40’ up, follow the 5’ in cut flake then up a white face. Bring TCUs. Shares belay with Pumpkin Chunkin. Pitch two moves left to ledge to prominent watergroove with 3 bolts to anchor and is 10d. The crux is bolt protected but gear is still needed on this pitch as well. There is an alternate P2 that is straight up from P1 anchors but only 5.7 and merges right to a different set of anchors. 

Took us a couple days to get the moves on the first two bolts worked out guessing this is 5.11c/d?P1. 5.11c/d  Clip one bolt make a move that is hard like Mr. T, place a .75 in the crack to left, make moves out right on 5.9 terrain to gain bolt 2. FIRE! Gain bolt three, moving on up through 5ish more bolts on excellent rock to gain anchor with one more 5.9+ move to keep it fun but mostly moderate climbing.P2. 5.10-  Clip bolt one and 2, make a 5.10 move, yer there if you got this high, one or two small placements up high .4 .3 .2 size  generally the crack that is the back side of buttress one runs with fresh water, bring your water filter and skip hauling waterThere is now a direct variation of this route going straight up/climbers right from the post crux bolt 3

If you liked the big knobs on Knobtopia, this is a harder version with smaller knobs.P1: Start the same as Knobtopia. Continue past three bolts to the bulge. Get the 0.5 after the first bolt. You can belay here with a few more medium sized pieces or continue up to link into one mega-pitch.P2: After the 0.5, instead of moving right to the Knobtopia anchors, continue straight up through a series of bolts. If linking, be sure to sling the lower gear longer. Climb up through some tiny crystals. Good stances at each bolt let you shake out for a minute. Finish on the same anchors as Pumpkin' Chunkin' and Palmetto Plumb.

Phenomenal knob and face climbing. Definitely worth the hike.P1: Start the same as Pumpkin' Chunkin' at the dead pine tree and a series of knobs. Sling the dead tree or stick clip the first bolt. Climb the tree or the harder face to the chunky knobs. Clip the first bolt then trend up and right on easy but runout climbing to a flake with a bolt at the top of it. Pull on top of the flake and continue up to the headwall. You can get a finger sized piece at the headwall, but sling it long. Move right to a bolt before pulling onto the bulge. Pull the bulge and get another medium sized piece. Keep moving right and up into the diorite groove that takes a couple more finger sized pieces to an anchor in the bowl.P2: Move up and left to the line of bolts. Follow amazing knobs past three bolts. Get two small to medium sized pieces of gear in eyebrows above the third bolt. Climb past two more bolts. Keep an eye out for the solution hole that will take a #2 camalot. Trend up and left to the anchors.P3: Move up and right off the anchor heading for a wide groove and a single bolt. You can get a piece of gear below the bolt.Rappel the route three times with a single 60m rope.

Wonderful face, knob and groove climbing!
