There are two cruxes on this climb - one near the ground and one approximately halfway up. Varied movement on this moderate route keeps things interesting.

Rabid Rock Chuck starts from the perched ramp at the left side of the crag and is currently 2 short pitches, about 55 feet each. The first pitch has highly featured rock ranging from contoured horns to pockets to thin cracks. The second pitch steps left and continues up the blocks and cracks to the top. The featured 5.9 face to the left of the first pitch is worth toproping.

Ascend a large, left-facing dihedral to the left and uphill of

Rabid Rock Chuck

. Gear can be found both in the dihedral and in various cracks in the right face. Pull a small roof near the ground, then continue up a slab. After the dihedral peters out at about 80 feet, move left, and climb carefully across a large pile of loose, microwave-sized blocks. Continue about 20 feet up and right in order to belay your follower from the bolted anchor atop

Hopefully the bite of this two-move crux won’t leave a mark. Ascend the steepening ramp, and step right into the underclings to tiptoe through the overlap. Enjoy the cruise above.

Too much fun is what that mean… prance up the crux of this one on small edges.

Little Bird Let Go is technical, balancy, and relatively continuous until the last 10-15 feet.

This Way to Tasty has good rock quality. Three different people will climb this route three different ways.

This route is 110 feet long! Plan accordingly.... It is a beautiful line with a wide variety of rock and cruxes. Start with the right-angling, technical moves, continue through the steep, bouldery section, and finish on the classic, hueco headwall.

Protecting with gear on a short undercling section with thin feet leads to easier climbing above. A the top, you can use one or two pieces of thin gear.

Your belayer standing at the opening of the cave is the bait! Make some steep moves to gain the pocket and the horizontal crack. Plug some gear, and romp up the classic water streak above.
