Routes?

I've spent the last 2 weekends climbing routes up at Jailhouse. I'm not %100 sure how i feel about it but it has been pretty fun. Being a boulderer i've found the endurance game quite a challenge, i know i can do all the moves on these long ass boulder problems, it's just a matter of linking 60+ feet of over hanging V4. The route Fugitive 5.13a has grabbed my attention and has me pretty psyched to go back and finish, it has a casual start(30 feet of maybe 12a), that turns into a V5ish crux that involves a pretty awesome dyno off some small holds to a bucket followed by another sweet dyno to another bucket and finishes up with another 20 or so feet of sustained tough climbing to the chains. i think what's holding my interest in this place is the fact that it's so bouldery and really steep, also taking 25-30 foot whippers with no worries of breaking yourself is pretty fucking fun. So until Bishop clears up a bit (hope to fucking god it's soon) i'll be spending a few more weekends at Jailhouse trying to build up some endurance and at least climbing on mostly dry rock.
