A harsh little number with a pleasant smile.

What looks to be a cake walk turns out to be a rather awkward, rather difficult climb. Full attention and a strong grip are required. Delicate moves over thin holds are the theme. Involved and intense! Hang on.

Raspberry Flap Jax

Easy climbing following a finger to hand crack with no real crux.

3 bolts of fairly easy climbing. A few horizontal seams run through the route at the first and second bolt. Most of the route has small holds, with a big jug above the 3rd bolt. No distinct crux.

Start in a small left facing dihedral and head up and right. First bolt is about 10 feet off the ground, but a ledge provides a good stance for clipping the bolt. Fun laybacks and face climbing moves leads to the 2 chain anchor. Crux is between 2nd and 3rd bolt.

A stout little route with a pounding crux.

Start casual off the ground on good holds and decent feet. Move up a few steps to a bulge. Lock on and begin to panic! All right, don't panic, but be prepared... a tendon bendin', squeeze the life out of you, boulder problem lurks. Pull it together fast, pass the bulge, and enjoy a well deserved rest. Finish on a rather easy moves to the anchor passing two more bolts.

Technical and sustained, this is one of the better routes on the wall. Without big jugs or rests, this route is fingery and pumpy. The crux is actually clipping the chains.

Start to the left of the first bolt. Traverse right at the 2nd bolt and head straight up. Your footwork needs to be dialed toward the top of the route, as the footholds get small.

One of the tallest at the wall,

Raspberry Flap Jax

follows the black streak up and slightly right of a raspberry bush. Fun climbing, great moves, good holds! The crux sits low, near a small bulge, feel your way through and enjoy the dash to the anchor.
