good god, where do I start? ok, well for starters you might wanna warm up in the Orb Area. (You can get a topo @ www.drtopo.com) The classics (for me) are the Orb(V8), Double Trouble (V4), and a bad ass V4 roof problem on the opposite open area by the orb. After that you can hit up, Pathagorean Theorem (V5) and you can always hit the Scoop (V3) and it's many variations. I usually finish off the day sending both the "el bano's" (V2) and (V3) repectively. Aight, hope that helps.

The Croc Boulder is loaded with awsome problems, however, it can be hard to fine even with the super crappy topo. You'll just have to explore but its a slightly overhanging boulder that looks like it has scales all over it. Very cool.

I haven't climbed there much, but I thought "Nose Candy" was pretty good. Just go there and try what ever looks interesting. Rocktown is a pretty cool place.

Sherman Roof has some wicked problems, and just to the left of that boulder there's 2 variations of a really fun highball, "20 feet of fun" and some other name.

Soap on roap is cool, in the Orb area. Also the 5.9 overhanging 30 footer at the Hueco Simulator is nice....geez i could go on forever. Little bad and Big Bad boulder are cool.

Go send and have fun
Pat
