Cindy McCloskey, Stephen Tremaine, and myself drove to Upper Mount Scott in search of Dream Boat Annie, a 25 foot wall consisting of 3 crack climbs. We searched much of the west face of Upper Mount Scott but could never find the wall. As a consolation prize, we climbed another wall that consisted of 3 cracks ranging from 5.6 to 5.9...I've named the wall So Much For Dream Boat Annie. These climbs were a lot of fun, especially the last 5.6 route, which involved a mixture of face climbing in addition to crack climbing. After climbing these routes, we searched the west face a little more, never finding Dream Boat Annie, but eventually locating an overhanging crack that I would rate in the 5.10 to 5.12 range. This last climb thoroughly exhausted all of us, maximizing hunger, and preparing us all for a feast at Meers.
