Aka The Den Mother. After the second bolt of Sticky Fishes, instead of running it out on chossy limestone, move straight right to a shallow corner and crux. Clip a new bolt above and finish Itchy Sticky. Probably the most classic line at the crag, meaning it would actually get done at a real climbing area. Fixed the American Triangle anchor so you can lower safely.

; Fun climbing up a route similar to it's neighbors, watch for hornets. Sick of drilling in limestone the FA just ran it out to the top. "Perhaps another bolt would help appease the

Hard slab moves low slowly get easier on the short but thoughtful pitch. Super quality movement. Forty more feet of climbing would be nice. It would also make it calf-burnining adventure.

Worth noting, I cleaned off most of the wasp nests on the wall, leaving just a few. As unpleasant as they are, they've never been aggressive at all.

2 bolts of outrageous, fantastic, sustained and adventurous climbing. Not to be missed. An unstable belay adds an additional expedition effect. Don't fall now or we'll both go!

Traverse the main face, L-R. Even though you cross a 5.11 section you can stay low at 10. Not super exciting but solid slab climbing.

Climb the right arete, using holds on the face when appropriate. Could still use some cleaning on the arete but it's harder if you stay mainly on the face. 4 bolts to anchors. Weird spot to belay.

A route with a rough belay spot and the possibility for hornets.

Good climb, but like it's neighbor-very sharp.

Clip three bolts traversing right, starting with the first of HITTCA. Made to be done after the downward traverse, so it's probably 5.12 or, at least, some exercise.

R-L it's 5.11 or 11+, crux after the routes. Downhill the crux is before the routes, and may be 12-, meaning if you're bored enough you can get some fitness out of these routes.

This climb is fun and fast, the 2nd bolt is a tough one to clip.

Pain does sometimes equal pleasure.

Second line over. Heads straight up past a large block that used to be home to hundreds of wasps. Steep and fun. For full value traverse up and down the wall first.
