Great Mix of Fun/Hard

Bottom half was quite easy...5.7/8 ish. Get up nice and high under the roof before you pull it as the hands are small and a good reach past the roof (I placed a small link cam in the horizontal crack as it's about 4 feet over the last bolt).

Above the roof it gets pretty thin and I'd rate it a solid 5.9 to the anchors. Look for small toe holds and wide hands.

Overall great climb...easy and tough in different parts and long enough to make for a great ride!

Top Rope ascent by: senditbig on 2010-09-30 (View Climbing Log)

Short and Easy

This is a nice short route with an easy roof about 10 feet off the ground. I really didn't like the bolt placement on this one - it leaves you very exposed to a nasty swing if you fall before you pull the roof.

Once you get around the arete, look for a small toe hold for the left foot just below a large crack. Trust the toe, shift your weight left and stand. That's basically the crux move for this route.

Fun for TR, but wouldn't recommend this one for someone's first lead (the fall around the arete before the second bolt gets ugly).

Pull the Roof!

I didn't even think to Jump Start this climb...duh. We chose to boulder up through the roof and it's a lot more fun. GREAT handholds with an easy weight shift move to get over the roof. Everyone in the group loved this fun/easy climb.

No way this is a 5.9 unless you take the variation to the left.

Pumpy

Used this as our first route of the day with no warmup...for some reason I was fairly pumped at the end (more arms than feet on this one). One or two tricky moves near the 3d bolt, but nothing too bad. Would like to go back and see if I could use the feet a little better.

Everyone in the group climbed this one with ease. Great warmup route.

Weird

I thought the start was a little tricky (if you don't use the crack). After the third bolt the climb "ends" until you scramble over the cliff to a second section.

Easy

This was a quick, easy climb. You can almost walk up the rock. I'd put this at a 5.6 or so.

One Crux Move

Once you gain the undercling, use your left hand in the huge upward positive pocket, get your left foot high into the small pocket-feature just below the horizontal crack, weight shift onto your left foot and make the move to get your right hand up into the crack. After this move the climb is a easy.

Deserves all 3 Stars

This climb is definitely worth it. Tough bouldering start requiring some good balance and staying close to the wall. Great, positive hands most of the way up with a second crux up near the bolts.

Tough Warm Up

Used this to warm up on the third day of climbing on Labor Day weekend and kicked my butt. Easy start to a nice ledge...make sure you get your breath and shake out before heading up the rest of the route. Great hands meant I used arms more than legs and ended up pumped out by the top.
