Half Moon is one of the better problems on this section. Stand start with left on a cobble hole sidepull that resembles a crescent moon. Move up through a couple obvious holes, and top out right where the horizontal break ends.

Balancing Act

Slippery Crimps

Cobble

Start with your left hand on a cobble pinch and your right hand on your choice of small holds. Move up on cobbles through the break, and top out.

Sit start the "right wall" at a angled rail. Traverse right and around the corner into overhung territory. Use a tricky hand sequence to get through the overhang, make easier moves to gain the flake further right, and top out. This is one of the longer problems in the area. It is also possible to continue the traverse along the flake to make it longer.

Climb the graffitied face with lots of good options for holds. For full value, eliminate the arete behind you for stemming.

This is probably the best warm-up problem on this little wall. Start as for Knobs, V0 but traverse right along the shelf once you hit it, and top out when it ends. It is given V1 in the Kemple guidebook, but it’s pretty soft for that, no harder than its neighbors. The traverse adds some length, but it’s all jugs with good feet.

Stand start, and climb straight up through an obvious break and jugs.

"Start low on a shelf, then traverse left and then up at the end." 

  Sit start.  

  Going straight up on jugs at the left side of the shelf reduces difficulty to V0. To maintain value, trend left and up after the shelf peters out (crux).

"Sit start on diagonal crimps and move up and left to sidepulls." 

  The first few moves are the crux, the topout is mellow. It is an enjoyable climb.

Stand start just left of the blunt arete in the middle of the wall. Climb sloping cobbles to the top.

This is the shorter, less steep wall forming the right side of The Alcove. It is peppered with good warm-ups and beginner problems, with enough variations to last all day.
