The hardest moves may be in the first 30 feet. Although the holds are relatively big and many rests can be found, it is relatively cryptic and tends to sneak up on you.  The pod with the flaring crack accepts 1" and 2" cams but is also quite physical.  The climbing above is considerably easier with easy to find placements. One bolt guards the balancy moves before the anchor.

Dull File

Half Moon From Hell

3 pitches of quality granite climbing.

P1- 5.8, 80', Climb obvious crack system for 80' to bolted belay. Crux is well protected right off the deck, not as straightforward as it first appears. Fun pitch.

P2- 5.6, 70', Continue up large right facing dihedral. Rock is pretty solid despite its appearance in places. Bolted belay at good stance.

P3- 5.7, 80', Move up and left on ledge after the belay. Follow right facing crack system to a bolted belay.

Dee'z Freeze follows the obvious weakness on the left-center side of the Moose wall. Clean solid granite offers a good moderate introduction to the canyon. Gear can be intriguing at times, don't pass up a solid placement.

P1- Starting at the tree on the ledge, follow flaring, occasionally bottoming crack and features to a two bolt belay. 160' 5.7

P2- Continue above belay for 20', place a piece high and commit to a fun traverse left. Work up and right back to crack system. Spicy move above a small shrubby ledge takes you to a bolted belay at a good stance. 170' 5.8

P3- Make a move or two above belay before moving left around nose to a clean cruiser crack. Meander up a half rope length to a small ledge with a 2 bolt anchor. 100' 5.6

P4- Continue up blocky ground to the top of a block and a two bolt anchor. 100' 4th class

Starts in the inviting corner crack system just before you hit the gate.  Opens up with an engaging hand crack system with some stemming and grunting required.  Break left at the Y shooting for an intimidating corner with thin seam up the corner.  This blank corner seam is the crux and pulling it will require some serious commitment.  Once out of the corner it eases back up as you scramble to the shared chains which are up and to the right of where you pop out above the corner.  Don't worry when you notice the middle mark move through your belay device, a 60m rope will get you down with about 3 feet to spare!

Start Rod's Roost up the beautiful hand crack but break right at the Y following the crack up through some large features to the shared anchor.

Start as for Rod's Roost up the obvious hand crack and follow it left at the Y. Just before the blank corner, skirt back right and then shoot straight up the middle.  Shares anchors with Rod's Roost and Dull File. 60m gets you back down with 3 feet to spare!
