Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daymares | V4 | - | This line lies on the right side of the face of the boulder. Start matched on cool little juggy crimp and head up the face using crimps and using the slopey right arête. |
| Diamond | V4 | - | The centre and best line climbs from a kind of sit start on small crimps up the middle. Ledges and crimps lead to a committing last move to the lip.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Huffle Puff | V4 | - | On the Sorting Hat Boulder in the Nightmare Zone. Left hand start on the undercling of the arête, right hand on the crimpy triangle. Stand start. Tech your way straight up and top out! |
| Jam The Berry | V4 | - | The first climb to the right of the arête. The start isn't obvious. Stand start with your left hand on a high sloper and for your right hand, a slimper down and right. The foothold used in the FA is the starting ledge for Choosey Mom's Choose JIF. A hard crux move, in the beginning, leads to easier terrain above. |
| Lost Corner | V4 | - | Lost corner is a low sit start. Start matched and work up through a good crimp and cool holds on the corner feature to a nice heel rock over top out.
FA: Danny Plonka |
| Mossy Moves | V4 | - | Starts on a rail then moves straight up to an alright right hand side pull and a left hand crimp, then reach for the slab lip. Find some crimps and get a heel up. Finish it by mantling up then climbing up the super easy slab to the top.
FA: Joshua Authier |
| Open the Iliad | V4 | - | The first climb you see when approaching the boulder from the main trail. Start on a big step and climb the dihedral aiming up and right. Small holds and feet make the last move a treat.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Party on Wayne | V4 | - | A one move wonder but still fun! Sit start with both hands on crimpy rail. Make the crux move straight up with the right hand and trend left! |
| Plumline | V4 | - | TBD |
| Regina | V4 | - | Start left hand on a southern sandstone like slimper and a right hand low in a crack. A funky imaginative bottom leads to pure slab technique on bad holds to reach the penultimate jug near the top.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Side Effects | V4 | - | Start low on the arête as Magic Mushroom starts then take a swing over into Lost Corner and top out as Lost Corner does. It's a link-up between Magic Mushrooms and Lost Corner.
FA: Joshua Lightfoot |
| 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. |
| 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.
