This is an area classic! Ocaso climbs out of a pit via a tricky compression sequence before gaining a juggy arete and riding it to the heavens. The grade is somewhat ambiguous, but it's kinda reachy while also being kinda scrunchy. There's certainly a few different ways to climb it, but start low, bear-hugging with your left hand on the arete and your right hand on an undercling. It's both balancy and powerful.

Climbing just the arete from a stand start makes for a fun V0 in itself. The 'PG-13' just acknowledges the potential for a weird fall at any point, due to the nature of the pit and the backscratcher boulder behind you. Falling from any point on the arete is ill-advised, but if you made it that far, you won't.

Ocaso

Guano Traverse

Snaggletooth

Ton of Brix

Snaggletooth is a lowball! Start matched on a juggy undercling, and make a couple powerful moves up sloping edges to the top.

On the cliff band across from

Ton of Brix

and

Ocaso

, traverse the shelf on a mix of jugs and slopers. It's a nice warm-up, but as the name implies, things could get a little poopy.

A higher traverse, as well as a variety of eliminates and "hit the jug and drop" type problems, can also be found in and around this route.

Ton of Brix is an awesome moderate on clean, well-featured rock that resembles a "mini-Air Wolf" from the right angle. Climb the right-hand arete up to the roof, make a committing reach to a jug, and find an easy topout around the roof's left side.

The cider for which this route is named can be found at the cidery in town and is highly recommended for post climbing refreshment!
