Watch out for spiders. I spent some time cleaning this route and trundling death blocks to have something safe and fun to climb. Start on the right end of the ramp beneath the overhang. Go up into the corner and continue to follow it past a small tree on a small ledge. Continue up the crack and just before the dirty chimney step right out onto the dirty face.

Crossing Over

This route goes up the right end of the ramp in the overhung section to a flake that looks like a fin. work up and over the fin to gain some easy terrain through the middle of the climb. Finish up in a right leaning, right facing corner with some finger cracks.

One of the more sustained-for-the-grade climbs on this wall. While it has it's rests, it stays on you. Still, it's only a 5.9-. Tough start, slightly overhanging, also finishes a little less then vertical.

Somewhat sustained 5.8 with a crux in the middle. This route follows a thin flaring crack. The start is dirty but don't let that put you off. A bulge about half way up is your crux, go straight up and it's 5.8+, move over left and it's 5.8-. You finish with a small easy roof on positive holds.

This super fun route goes up the far right corner of the wall. From the start it is slightly pumpy until you gain a slab section in the middle for a rest to finish out the top. Much loose rock has been removed from the top of this route, but keep your eyes open and your helmets on!

Maybe a soft 10, this route starts out on a flake in front of the wall and works up some right leaning diagonal features to a right leaning flake that you lay back. Once on top of that you have a few feet of easier terrain till you get to the obvious steep overhung crack. Pull through that up to the ledge. This route would be 3 stars except for the chossy middle section that breaks apart. A LOT of loose rock was removed from this route, but keep your helmet on anyway.

We are going to stick with this name until the real ones get published officially. This fun route is on you, then off, then on you again. Cruxy start and finish. Start on the left side of a ramp in the obvious overhung section of the wall and work your way up to the overhang. Use a small crimp for a left side pull to reach up and over.    The middle is boring.    The end is fun again. Finishing on a right leaning finger crack to gain some good holds. Staying in the direction of the crack is a tad harder than taking the easy way out left in the small right facing corner.

Crossing Over does just that. It shares a start with another route (probably has a name 10a) once you climb above the height of the over hang traverse right and up all the way across the top of the overhang using the horizontal (well diagonal) jug rails. This crosses over Cellphones are Dangerous and The Route with the Fin to end up moving up towards a dirty wide chimney. On the top out look out for loose rock. (much has already been removed from here). This would be 5.6 if not for the more vertical section moving up toward the chimney.  This is a fun route for newer trad leaders or anyone looking for an easier lead.
