Fun for the whole family... if parents are down with kids doing a traverse that is unprotected.  A blocky start to a dike feature continues through a positive leftward traverse without pro.  Mostly good rock, but beware at least one loose hold.  The traverse ends with an arete that becomes more exposed up high just before the finish.

Almost merits the name Black Tide.

Red  Crack, The

Climb the face up the center of the formation which is steep for a section before kicking back towards the top. The climbing is on heavily featured solid rock with occasional protection. Fun climbing and easier than first appearances might suggest. One star out of five.

Climb a crack that turns to more of a seam at the crux - a bulging section that requires some delicate face moves above tiny wires. The gear is good and the moves positive, although getting the gear in is problematic.

A really fun, but unfortunately short, route that leaves one wishing the pitch was a little longer. Well worth doing in in the area when combined with some of the nearby starred routes. Two stars out of five.

Climb the featured crack that splits the block up and left from the arete. Another fun moderate climb on good plated rock makes this one one star out of five.

This is a steep, strenuous face route with some rounded holds.  We found it necessary to use a foothold on the pinyon tree at the base of the climb to get started.

A steep finger crack leads to a knobby hand crack.  The finger crack is very nice, but short.  The hand crack has some nice moves, but fractured rock in places is a concern.  There are two 5.10A moves, one on the lower finger crack and one going over a bulge on the hand crack.
