Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Goomboss | V4 | - | Sit start in the middle of the face on two crimps close together. Climb right through the crack feature and topout. |
| Hidden Treasure | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the mega jug horn underneath and in the middle of the severe overhang. Make a big move to the lip and work up and right on the face using crimps and side pulls. |
| 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! |
| Issues | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Crouch start on a triangle shaped right hand. Left hand on the left arête. Weird moves await until the lip and then figure out how to mantle onto the southern like topout. |
| 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 |
| Lost at Sea | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Start way down and right on a jug. Go straight up using odd body positions to get to the top. |
| McFly | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Start in an iron cross position with the left hand on a crimp and a pinch for the right. Has been done dynamically and statically. |
| 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 |
| 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 |
