Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Gym Climber | V2 | - | Climb the cool-looking water-grooved slab on the right side but left of the arête.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Snail Trail | V2 | - | On the back of the shell of the Snail boulder right of Slow Bro. Using a right side pull and good feet slap for the top and mantle the top.
FA: Thomas Piche |
| Threat Level Midnight | V2 | - | A cool-looking boulder that has interesting roof-like moves. Start as low as possible on the sloper ledge. Make your way around the half moon using two key holds. Top out on the arête.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Tunnel Vision | V2 | - | Start at the bottom of the tunnel with one hand on the arête to the left and the other on the vertical edge to the right.
FA: Linda Yang |
| Volunteer Mountaineer | V2 | - | Just right of the scoop. Climb straight up.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Wayne Stepping | V2 | - | Climb the arête right of Party on Garth. |
| Wonder Bread | V2 | - | Starts low on ledges on the far right side of the boulder and follows the right side to the top. |
| Antics | V3 | - | An odd low start on crimps, get a good right foot and rock onto it. Top out on Antagonist. A little awkward and contrived.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Beaver Research | V3 | - | Climb the left arête starting on the left side of it. Slopers and crimps lead to a good top-out.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Better than Bopp | V3 | - | Start on crimps and make a few moves. Use levitation and palm press to establish feet high. Stand up and use better crimps to the top.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Creature of the Mine | V3 | - | Start with both hands on the left-slanting rail. Climb up the arête and top out.
FA: Linda Yang |
| Crystal | V3 | - | Start on obvious crimp in the middle of the face and figure out how to surmount the small roof. |
| Dirty Hand Box | V3 | - | Start with a side-pull ledge with your left and a crimp inside the cave with your right. Head up and left to a good ledge until you can reach up and right to use the side of the boulder (where bush is in left picture). Stand straight up on starting block. Move left and top out. Confusing and tricky.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Fools Gold | V3 | - | Fools gold is a nice tall line with enjoyable holds. First move is a big one and the rest is a cruise. Head up to he highest point and top out. This climb is on the north side of the boulder opposite the climb What Bugs.
FA: Danny Plonka |
| Frat House Stafford | V3 | - | A one move wonder! Start with left hand on undercling/sidepull and right hand on a crimp. Jump/cross/do something to reach the lip and hold on! Mantle it out and grab your points.
