A very Indexy boulder problem gets you off the ground. Follow surprising jugs up and right and pull directly over the roof onto a hanging face. Traverse right across the slab and up the final techy corner (or step left and finish via Act Natural's boulder problem crux). Ridiculously cool.

This is a two bolt direct finish to Unnatural Act that trades UA's techy finish for an awesome boulder sequence out a roof. At the huge jug below the upper roof head left (UA goes right) and fire it to the arete on scrumptious incut holds.

If you fail to mount the horse you'll take an airy but safe fall. The last bolt will be moved higher up in the future but is purely to keep the roof from eating your rope.

The obvious imposing and fantastic roof crack at the top of Rhythm Cliff. Start up an arete before transitioning into the crack itself. Bust out to the lip using surprising pods (11-). Try very hard to pull over the lip and power to the top (12-).

A tricky first move which may seem really hard for shorter people gives way to easier climbing for a few bolts.  The crux is reached at about halfway, with a tough move getting situated on the arete.

Stick clipping the first bolt is recommended. Wacky moves get you out of the cave (all blocks here have been tested) and into the upper weakness. Step right, aiming for a corner up high. Pull some awesome Indexy moves to get in and out of the corner and continue up and left to the anchor in the roof.

Does the crack above go?

This route's main detractor is the ledgy center (5.6) but it's bookended by fantastic cruxes. 2.5 stars?
