Description This is the left-most route. Some people whine about its existence, but what else are you going to do, drive farther? The crux is getting off the ground with scary ground fall potential.

| Actually harder than the route just to the right (especially the start, which is NEVER 5.9+), and much poorer quality. Best to skip it. |

| yah, this route is FAR more difficult than the one next to it...the start is a 10 move for sure. and the top is DIRTY DIRTY. but it was pretty scary and sketchy so i generally enjoyed it. |

| The start to this one will take you by surprise. Like others I'd say this move is more challenging than any of the moves on the area favorite just to the right. |

| Not reccommended. Dirty, slopey and often full of water. First time I did it I thought it was supposed to be a 5.8. It is NOT a 5.8. |

| Its worth running up. Good foot work will make the starting moves static and feel about 5.9 if your throwing for that first good hold a couple feet up from the lip you are probably not being very creative with your side pulls and footwork. |
