Mother's Little Helper is very similar to

Trickle Down Theory

with sustained, steep climbing that is well bolted. This has two cruxes: the first is a blank section above the second bolt, and the second is the bulge above that.

Trickle Down Theory

How's My Driving

Knob in my Pocket

Trickle Down Theory climbs sustained steepness through the entire route with a crux about 1/3 of the way up through a bulge.

This is a fun route starting up a moderate face, then it goes through a big roof and up steep rock to the chains.  Watch out for bats! :)

This is the hard line on the Main Wall.  Start up a crimpy face which gradually gets steeper and then don't pump out through a set of back to back overhangs - the deceitful crux lying at the 2nd overhang.  After pulling through the 2nd roof, you are home free to the chains.  It is a very good pitch - worth investing some energy.

This climb has 3 bolts and a few small gear places.  The pitch is quite short.

This is a good warm up with big holds and pockets on relatively low angle rock.

This has sweet climbing past bolts to the chains.  Be confident at the grade, because the first bolt seemed high, and if you blew it while clipping the second, there would be groundfall potential.  The crux was probably between the first and second bolt.

Mad Dog is a decent route.  This was my partner's first lead, and he said that the bolts were nicely spaced and would recommend it to other aspiring leaders.  It had plenty of jugs and great feet.

This starts out fairly easy and then throws you into a sustained overhanging wall.  Big moves on big holds yield big fun, though there are plenty of holds in-between for the vertically challenged.  It is an excellent pitch of rock and (in my opinion) the classic climb of the grade on this wall.

Climb pockets and jugs.  This is a good route.

Fun climbing with the crux between the last bolt and the chains.  Shares an anchor with Knob In My Pocket to the right.

This is a cool route that arcs right up and over a large crack/roof.  I thought that this was the best 5.8 on the wall.

Clip bolts up and past a diagonal crack to chains.  It is a good route.

This climb is the direct and more difficult variation of Crystolopolis.  Face technically demanding footwork up the arete before you join up with Crystolopolis, and follow it all the way to the chains.  It is a good route.

Start from the top of the detached block with a two bolt anchor on it.  The crux of this route is at the very beginning.  3 pitches to the top then rap the same way you came.  I combined pitches 2 and 3 without any problems.

A brilliant climb!

P1: Climb confidently up through the first few bolts with excellent movement on good holds, then move out left to the arete (crux) and continue up this spectacular arete to the first set of chains. This pitch is arguably the best on the wall with fun movement and very good rock. (5.11+)

P2: Continue up the face through a roof clipping bolts along the way. (5.10+)

Climb to the right of a seam up to chains.  It is a nice route with good pockets.

This has really good climbing with great pockets all the way.  It shares the same crux and anchors as

Beta Decay
