Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| They All Can't Be Gold Extension | V4 | - | Same start, same first move up and on slopers/sloping crimps. Instead of heading up and finishing, head right around the bulge, topping out a body length away from the start. |
| Stardate | V4+ | - | Start on two separate crimps and make a couple moves to reach the crux. Pull around the bulge and make your way onto the slab headwall. Continue to the top.
FA: Cody Erickson |
| 615 Dollars | V5 | - | Start by climbing the sloper ledges up to meet the crux in the middle of the boulder. Figure out a high left foot or stretch and grab a crimp. Finish up on easier terrain. The first boulder encountered from the trail. Obvious vert wall.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Barn Door Baby | V5 | - | To the left of Lost Corner on the Magic Mushroom boulder. Start span from the left arête to a far sloping side pull. Find a good heel and slap up to good holds to top out. Shorter climbers will have to get very creative.
FA: Thomas Piche |
| Black Ice | V5 | - | Sit start on two small crimps at different heights. Finesse your way to the right arête. Probably harder with less wingspan. |
| Cloud Castle | V5 | - | Sit start on a left hand triangular pinch and right on the arête. Topout up and left. |
| Creature of the Mine, Low | V5 | - | Start with both hands on the low platform and climb into Creature of the Mine.
FA: Pierre Cusa |
| Distill | V5 | - | Stand start with your hands way above your head in the crack feature. There are two small slots. Establish and jump to the top. A very difficult low start exists. |
| Eat This Scroll | V5 | - | A dihedral delight. Start standing with your hands wide at the base of the dihedral. Master your way up the open book using any beta or body part available.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Flange | V5 | - | TBD |
| Glint | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit Start with the right hand on a sidepull and the left on something. Pull off the ground and immediately meet the crux. Figure it out and topout above. |
| John B | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with both hands on the jug and a heel if you're feeling flexible. use one of two very small crimps to make a difficult move right to a gaston and make your way up the face. This is located on a boulder past rogue pogue and off the trail to the left. |
| Knife Fight | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on a jug, Bust out right and then tackle the amazing knife feature using very odd meathooks. Topout in the middle of the tall but easy slab. |
| Lakitu | V5 | - | Sit start in the middle of the face on two crimps close together. Climb left and through slopey crimps and top. |
| Loud and Prowd | V5 | - | A sit start with opposing side pulls, make a hard move up to a pinch and top out the prow. It's a powerful mini compression block. To the left of Sunday School. Obvious Arête. |
