May 29, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Stick Clip! Crux is off the ground with some juggy moves. Get a good rest than you can go left or right to high bolt. I went right. Awkward anchors but felt safe. 5th route of day. With G.

May 29, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Tough! Dirty. Spaced out bolts. Not obvious climbing. Some holds were wet to the right. There was a great hidden jug at the top to clip the anchors from. Anchors look bad... did not enjoy this route. Maybe better if dry and you know the beta. Route 3 of the day. Took 2 tries.

May 29, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Favorite route of the day. Easy start. Awkward getting around corner. Fun climbing up the ledge. Pull it together and go up on jugs to clip last bolt. Airy runout to anchors. Moves aren't obvious. I climbed up and right on jugs then traversed left to anchors. A little tricky to clean. Route 2 of 5. With G.

May 9, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. First time here. At end of crag. Easy fun route. Crux between 2 and 3 bolt that if blown would result in bad ledge fall. Can clip right anchor from ledge then move over left. Chainlink anchors are just ok. Climb 1 of day. With Gracie. Less than 10 min hike down from easy parking. Can access several anchors from above.

Oct 19, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Easy start leads to a mantle on a shelf that looks like it will break off. Watch out for animal poop in cracks! Ledge at top and silly anchors. I chimneyed up to the left to clip carefully. Climb 6 of 6.

Oct 19, 2025 · TR. Climbed someone else's TR. Flash after watching them climb it. Tougher moves overall than Rat Arete, would be a stout lead. Several options thru crux. Really interesting route. Pumpy! Rope drag at anchors. Rappel to clean. Climb 5 of 6.

Oct 19, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Easy off the deck. A jug out right lets you clip bolt 2. Then a series of hard moves on jugs with bad feet get you to bolt 3. Standup ledge then a fun romp on the pillar to the chains. Very cool. Some loose rock. A little tricky to clean. Climb 4 of 6.

Oct 19, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. This was interesting... fun start in dihedral leads to a stance. There are no bolts on the face instead you climb the pillar on the 'stair step' side to the anchors. Would be an easy TR route to keep left on. Climb 3 of 6.

Tough feet and pull over. Runout to anchors. Easy but thoughtful for sure. Harder than The Bishop which is 5.9. Climb 4 of 5. This is listed in guide as No Frooping Way.

Jun 3, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Stick clip. Tough start. Very dirty. Thankfully there is a jug for clipping bolt 2 and it eases up from there. Clipping the last bolt was tricky and the crux for me was moving to the anchors. I tried 2 ways - low and high. Hidden jug for the anchor clip. Climb 2 of 5.

Dec 7, 2024 · Lead / Flash. This is a good route! Stick clip. Crux is first 3 bolts. Stays on you for the grade. All the loose rock is gone. Fully bolted. From last bolt go left and up pulling the lip at corner. Runout to anchors on ledge but there is a jug to clip from on the flat ledge. Bolts 2 and 3 could use a longer draw if available. Climb #6.

Dec 7, 2024 · TR. Stick clip. Hard and sequency! Go straight up to bolt with high LF to clipping flat edge. RH is crimp. Crux is going to jug for bolt 2. Get high foot and move LH to 3 finger sidepull. Go RH to bad rail. Move LF high and lunge for jug sidepull. Clip. Match. Move feet and go LH again high and left to rail. Cake walk from there.

Dec 7, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Stick clip. Route starts directly under high first bolt. Series of dirty overlapping crimps to ledge. Move right and up for bolt 2. Def ground fall potential here. Up the seam and step left for bolt 3. Well spaced to the top. Not the best for a new leader. I believe Swamp Thing is the route that goes left from start. Not great.

Nov 21, 2024 · TR. TR onsight after Dan led. Black totem used in crack. Stick clip. Start left and clip 2 from tree ledge. Tricky getting gear in. Clip 3 from a crimper. Good moves from there. Rests where you need them. Crux for me was at the top where rock turns grey. From arête you move left for a few moves. Runout to anchors. There is a LH finger bucket and arm bar to clip from.
