Awesome Boulder/Wall with red streaks of sand painting its face.  Three routes plus a traverse that moves up are here, all rated V3. One on the left, one in the middle that goes up the bulge (it's the hardest of the three, and Sh*t Stain Right, which you can do direct, or my favorite route, traverse from the bottom of Sh*t Stain Left, traverse right, and finish there.

Toughest in the middle when you shoot up from the traverse with a right dyno, with your ass almost on the ground. EASY OUT.

Need something simple? Start with some baby steps, a sloper and a sidepull. Then just jug your way to the top.

Easy climb. Just use those feet and stay off the holds that are too easy.

A super classic problem.  Begin under the amphitheater feature and move left through some easy moves before reaching the desperate exit around some super slopers.

Named for the old fence materials scattered around, and for my efforts to do this problem as a rookie. This somewhat featureless looking problem houses some great crimps and a committed top out.

Continue slapping at the slope and look for good feet.

Big round boulder pocketed with holds.  Someone bolted it a couple of times with good reason because the landing is pretty bad.  I recommend bringing a rope to save you the insecurity.  The crux comes right in the middle of the climb when you move from a low pincher hold to a small neutral hold far right.  Find new routes and make this climb your own!

The Sister of Shit Stain, this climb is really cool. Start in the dihedral, sitting down, and work up to the huge jug at the right. Get ballsy. don't fall!, and go up to the next left. Super juggy, easy top out.

An easy sit start moves to two large neutral holds. Then a left to right gastant takes you a move away from a solid right crimp. A couple more small, committed moves, and you pull yourself over the top out.

Perfect place to warm up. Excellent landing and three different climbs on one rock. Have fun!

Start in the two pockets with the right and on the dime crimp with the left.  Play the arete with a heel for help and go for the high right hold.  Match it up, the top out is easy.

Relatively easy climb once you get the heel deep. Fall right to a solid crimp then reach another crimp around the arete. Bump to the top and mantle 'er up.

Great area for all year round climbing! Shade spots in the hot summer, and bits of shelter for winter bouldering as well.
