A solid climb, featuring a burly start down low, and a seemingly never ending crimpfest up higher. The climb starts at a small roof with a high handhold next to a crack, and pulls straight up the crack to the first bolt. Work your way up the arête, using sidepulls, crimpers, slopers and nasty foot smears.

Point of Diminishing Returns (PDR)

Pumpy from the start, the crux nevertheless is towards the top with stemming and finger jams through an overhanging section of the crack.    The route finishes up on a cap-stone with shared anchors with Equinox.   Tie a knot in the end of your rope if not using a 70m rope.

Easy start leads to interesting finger/hand crack with a few bulgy harder sections up higher. Steps over to the Solstice arete and shares it's anchors.

Start about 10' to the right of the leaning blocks, pull some bouldery moves down low, then follows good holds to the small roof. Above the roof, follow bolts to the right side of the arete and up to the anchor. Shares anchor with "Dog Day Getaway" 5.9 Trad.

Follow the beautiful crack which leads through several overhangs in smooth pink rock. Climb this crack through the buldges, stepping left onto the face just below the final roof. Float your way across this blank face (bolt) to the arete out left. Follow bolts strait up to the anchors.

Start below the trail at the base of three obvious stacked blocks that lean into the cliff (this makes for a good climb to identify your location as well, as you can't miss it.) Climb up the blocks and onto the face up to the anchor.

PDR is a long, fun and sustained route and well worth doing. Start just to the right of the leaning blocks and follow the bolts to the anchor.

This area is easy to identify by 3 massive stacked blocks that the trail goes under. You can't miss it. Multiple routes that push 95' here.
