Challenging steep face climbing, past first 5 bolts, leads into an overhanging dihedral. Stem, slap, gaston, & Yogi-posture combinations might get you into this unusual feature. Finish on steep jugs to a stance at the anchors. Whew!

This route has great, clean stone on a steep face. Moderate climbing past the first few bolts leads to the difficult climbing in the middle to upper section of the climb with a few rests from from stances left of the bolt line or when stemming. After pulling past the last bolt, one final difficulty is encountered, clipping the anchor. The anchor is just out of reach from the good feet and one or two more moves have to be done to clip the chains. Some may not appreciate the bolt being well below their feet for these moves, but the fall is clean.

Step up on the ledge and angle slightly right with slabby moves to clip 1.  Sustained .9ish climbing for 4 clips gets you to much easier climbing.  Move through this easier section with 2 clips and then past the last clip with several steeper moves to the double ring anchors.

Start with low angled climbing on great holds to the high first clip. Go straight up on steeper rock with good edges, pinches, and sidepulls through C3. Climb this next short, harder section for two clips through C7 and onto the anchors.

I'm adding this as a temporary placeholder to avoid confusion with other routes. The route is new and needs a bit more cleaning and some removal or reinforcement of questionable holds. We've climbed on it a bunch, but it still probably need a bit more love, so don't get on it unless you understand.

Start down and right of the obvious corner crack of

. Climb to the base of

corner, and then move right into the mini-roof on some big, blocky holds that require some big moves leading to the thin crimp crux. The route will eventually finish at a higher anchor, but it needs some more cleaning. A better option for now is to step left and finish at the

anchor.

This is probably solid 10+, maybe 11-.

Start by the tree to gain the left trending crack. Great holds gets you to the first clip.  Move up on more great holds past clip 2 and through the short headwall with somewhat harder moves to a stance. Move to left of the bulge using the flake with really good holds to the anchors.

A few key holds have broken since this route went in.

A slabby start with some smooth holds gain the first clip. Some jugs will get you to the second clip with a great rest out left.

Move back right and go up and over the short bulge crux between clips 2 & 3.

Once past clip 4, go straight up on easier ground to the double ring anchors.

A hard start with some stout moves to better holds through clip 4. The climbing eases to a rest ledge. The climb now trends left over a diagonal break at the middle of the route. Go over this break and look at the the upper section from clip 8. Move straight up through this steeper pumpy section on cruxy climbing with good holds and a rest or two and then finish with a final pump to the anchors.

This is a well if not over-bolted climb.

Start with some reachy but good holds.

Move up veering left or right at your discretion  on good albeit sometime hard to locate holds through several clips to a stance before the harder part of the climb begins.

Follow well-protected climbing past 3 clips and then move up the interesting short face past 1 clip to double ring anchors.

Climb on gray rock that is featured with "bubbly" calcite formations from a seep that is wet until early summer, clipping one bolt before you are able to gain the sloping ledge that angles across the face. Once positioned on the ledge, make face moves to access the obvious left-facing corner. Where the corner ends, use holds both in the corner and on the arete to climb the final blocky terrain to the anchor.
