Description 

Located between the Metro Sector on the left and the Roof Area on the right, this area is home to a number of quality routes from 5.10b to 5.12c with the majority of routes in the 5.11+ and up range. A number of the routes in this area are quite long and require a 70 meter rope for lowering.

Some of the better routes here include Flexercise (5.10b), Trundle Trophy (5.10c), Flesh and Blood (5.11b), Culture Shock (5.11c), Raging Raptor (5.12a), Quarryman (5.12b), Burning Desire (5.12b), Choss Revolution (5.12b), Choss Goggles (5.12c) and Buzzkill (5.12c).

Carefull with this area because it is still being cleaned up. Large rock fell from Flesh and Blood a few weeks ago and destroyed the bench in front of it. Belayer happend to be sitting on the bench a few minutes before the boulder came crashing down and luckily missed the boulder bashing his brains out.
