Groovy Staircase starts by scrambling up onto a grass ledge located at chest height.  The first bolt is located 10' up the cliff.  Stem up the double dihedral blast scar fetcher.  Follow these man made holds along with a few natural ones 50 feet up the blasted cliff then try and shout over the roar of the traffic to your partner. 

  LOCATION   This route is located about 100' from the Good Vibes Wall.

A fun bottom leads to some loose rock up top.  Finding the anchors is a bit tricky with them being up by a tree far away from the cliff edge.  A little rough on the rope to TR on this one.

Traverse beginning as soon as the wall starts on left side and go as far as you can ending on the crumbling rocky end to the right. 

Leftmost route on Shot Rock. First bolt is about 15 feet up, route is on decent rock. Shares anchors with Shortcake 5.6.

A decent climb that heads up the roadcut.  Makes for a great first outdoor lead.  Lots of little holds and edges to look for.  Do it in Chaco's if you are feeling adventuresome.

Short climb that goes three bolts to an 2 bolt anchor.  Not bad for manmade rock.

The first bolt of this route is located 7' up the wall.  Follow two blast scars up past a large horizontal crack and on to the anchor at the top of the cliff.  Traffic noise, wind and a man made cliff make this a classic arm route. 

  LOCATION   This route starts 50' right of Groovy Staircase and is the right most climb at the crag.

A place right off the highway that is a easy place to warmup or simply go out for some easier climbing.  You mostly climb drill scars (They take a great #3 camalot placement!) and other manmade features.  Most of these don't suffer from too much bad rock either due to the blasted nature of the rock.  Highway noise is obviously an issue as you are standing about 4 foot from the edge of the road.
