Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poltergeist | V4 | - | Sit start on a sloper above and an undercling on the right. Topout. |
| 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. |
| 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.
