start at a foot legde in the gully. clip the first bolt out right. From there move out right on the face.climb straight up to the second bolt an follow the arete to a bolt under the roof. Exit the roof with wild moves!!!

Transfusion

Rastafari Crack

Child's Play

Black Lips

Bad Religion

Psychic City

Pump Up the Valuum

Climb up the obvious dike/gully on really big holds to the ledge. Make another move and clip a single bolt with a quick link (anchor).

Start the same as Psychic City. Climb past the first bolt to a small ledge. Traverse left and pull the bulge to gain the hand crack above an overlap. Follow the short dirty crack and step right to the tree anchor on Psychic City.

This is an awesome little route that is unique for the area. Start in the same spot as Pump Up the Valuum. Climb up the short slab and traverse left across a massive flake to a bolt. Set up a belay here or clip a long runner. Climb up onto a ledge above the bolt. Step left to some big jugs. Fire straight up to the horizontal and escape right around the roof and pull into the corner. Continue up to a 2 bolt anchor.

Start at the base of the massive dike/gully. Climb up the unprotected lobster tail to the ledge at 20'. Clip a bolt with a quick link (Child's Play anchor). A four foot runner helps with rope drag. Pull out the roof using the dike past 2 pins. Clip a bolt over the final over lap and finish at a bolt/tree anchor.

Start on the right side of the alcove area. Clip a bolt next to a flake/horizontal and pull over the overlap (crux). Climb up with gear opportunities and pull over onto a sloping ledge. Clip the second bolt on the bulge. Pull over the bulge/overlap on big holds and place more gear in the horizontals. Angle left to a tree anchor.

Look for a large flake up high to locate the climb. Start up the slab corner for 25' placing gear. At the overhang fire straight up on great holds with excellent movement past 3 bolts. Take care when using the massive flake. 2 bolt anchor awaits at the top.

The Alcove section of the Lower Area has some steeper and much cleaner rock. It offers some good pumpy climbing.
