Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Rematch | V4 | - | Stand start on the biggest crescent shape sidepull crimps. Navigate the egg shaped slab on barely there handholds. Don't lose focus until your on the top. |
| 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 |
| Side Hustle | V4 | - | Stand start on the sloper ledge with a hidden left foot around the corner. Make a couple casual moves and jump for the lip or throw a heel hook and lock-off. |
| The Code | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Sit start low under the roof on a giant rail. Shoot out left and then up to the lip. Very dabby with a thick pad but fun moves! |
| 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 |
| Beef Heart | V3 | - | Start on the pedestal and meander your way through a variety of holds to top out to the right of the arête. |
| 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 |
| Foundation | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start sitting on an incut block and the right arête. Topout above. |
