Short fun route that is quite dirty at the beginning due to the creek. Crux about half way up. I do not know the name of the route, so it is "route 1" for now.

Route 3

If you are climbing the Ortega waterfall this is worth driving to. The crux is right in the middle, traverse out right using 2 very awkward small crimps to gain a lie back crack on the other side of the arete. to top out search for the jugs inside the crack.

Shares the same start as The Fermi Level before venturing right about halfway up. A more exciting finish then TFL. New route so watch out for loose rock. I cleaned what I could but there may be more.

Very dirty and simple route. However, it is a decent way to get to the top and set up a top rope climbing the nearby face.

Simple but fun hand crack. Crux possibly around 10ft up, but it is a pretty sustained 5.7 throughout. Start right of the face and follow the crack up and left before finishing straight up.

Fun little problem that is fairly clean by the area's standards. Avoid using the boulder to the right to maximize the route.

Low sit start on gaston flake and obvious sloper. Move up and left, swinging up and topping out with an easy mantle.

Unsure if this is an FA but its definitely a problem worth getting on.

Difficulty pretty consistent throughout. Crux between the first and second bolt if you stay tight on the bolt line. Shifting right slightly makes it easier.

One move wonder. Same start as "Swing like Sultan." Instead of following up and left, opt for a far right knob and immediately exit out of arete.

Starts off very easy at the bottom with large holds. The crux is about halfway up where the handholds largely disappear. Finishes to the right, meeting Annihilation Operator at the top.

Face climb just to the left of the Fermi Level. Lichen keeps stuff slick but small solid holds make this a very doable 10a.

Short simple little problem that gets very dirty at the top.

Crux is getting to the final bolt. Easy start turn into small but good crimpers leading to the crux. Good bolt placement gives good protection at the crux.
