A start past some horizontals gets you to a ledge with a left-leaning thin crack which thins and dies, with the crux being a balancy lieback past a bolt. Higher, easier moves lead to a stance below an impressive roof which despite appearances from afar goes easily with a perfect hand crack splitting it.

Belay from gear (pro to 2.5") and walk off or use the anchors on the neighboring

Rollercoaster

and don't forget to set a directional piece for your follower.

A great route to do at least once every season, this route has a lot of fun moves packed into it's relatively short length. Four stars out of five.

Keep the Ball Rolling

Rollerbrah

Climb the face between Rollerball and Rollercoaster staying independant of either route.

Despite initial appearances, this grainy and loose arete is not worth climbing. Minus two stars out of five!

This southwest facing route, located about 75' south of the other Rollerball formation climbs, was originally rated 10d. However, key holds have broken off, rendering the route an "11."

Begin under a steep face beneath the first of three bolts. Use discontinuous seams, edges, and horizontals enroute to the anchors. Very good climb, 3 out of 5 stars.

Well-protected and varied throughout it's length, this route requires a variety of techniques to succeed - a balancy lieback down low leads to a steep, thin slab in the middle with a thuggy finish over a roof.

Great rock and continuous movement throughout combined with excellent protection make this well-worth doing or even attempting. Four stars out of five.

There's a couple of fun moves off some jugs and crimps in the first 25 feet or so.  The climb then continues up and to the right, following a crack-ish system up a slab with some friction moves on grit.  Nothing spectacular but kinda maybe worth it if in the area?
