Violent Love is a short, blank, overhanging sport route to the left of the Twinkle Toes slab.  The movement trends up and left toward the second bolt with very tenuous left shoulder movements, that follow with bumping the right hand up. From the 2nd bolt, the route goes slightly right toward the 3rd and then up and in between a notch to the anchor. Watch for loose rock in the notch.

Twinkle Toes

Admiring all the local Anchorage mountain routes being posted on here, I thought I'd add this classic highway route...  

  Twinkle Toes is one of the best of the highway (and just a great route period). Start off pulling a bulge to gain the slab on the very left side of the wall. Then go up and right on the slab edging past some bolts into the shallow corner/stembox that takes gear.

A pretty sweet and steep crack that ends after 30' or so. The route then goes up and right on very crappy rock to sh*t anchor in more crappy rock. 

  The pure crack climbing on the lower half is actually really cool and unique for the highway but, unfortunately, the upper half is just so loose. It's easy but terrifying, even for the highway. I'd vote for an anchor after the crack ends even though the route would be pretty short. r and x rated the way it is imho... still worth doing though

An obvious clean slab off the highway. Among the classic namesake, there are a couple routes in the area. Totally worth coming just for Twinkle Toes and I imagine that's all most people do.
