A fun, deceptive line that starts up a left-to-right upward sloping ramp/crack and then proceeds up a smooth face.

Start to the left of the first bolt and make a couple of tenuous moves with slippery footholds and slopey hands and get established on the ramp. Make fun, balancy moves up and to the right until it's time to start up the face above.

Using inobvious moves get moving upward with a strenuous move or two, and continue moving between the bigger holds.

A line that is more difficult than it looks, with polished, slippery rock right where you don't want it.

Start up a right-ward trending weakness finding pockets and learning to trust the glassy foot "holds." After the second bolt comes some difficult movement to clip the third bolt, followed by a few very delicate moves to larger holds above. After the fourth bolt the angle eases considerably and the water-polished rock gives way to rougher, more standard-looking limestone.

A difficult, reachy 5.7 that requires a bit of grunting here and there.

Start with an awkward mantel on a slippery, sloping edge and reach for the only big pocket in evidence. From here, make mostly big moves between the bigger pockets, with a

obligatory tricky move here and there.

I suspect if you are short of stature that this will seem much harder than 5.7.
