Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burn and Rage | V7 | - | Double toe-hooks? 360 spins? Feet first climb? This thing has all of the funky moves you may hate or love. Either way, an amazing climb on blocky slopers with excellent rock quality.

| State of the Art | V7 | - | Climbs the crimp rail in the middle of the large square face. Utilize a toe-hook and a piano match to get through this vicious crimp crux.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Strikezone | V7 | - | Far left side of the boulder near the “cave entrance.” Sit start on two small jugs. Make your way up and left with the first 4-5 moves being the crux of the problem revolving around a thrutchy throw to a good crimp halfway up. Bust right after the crux and keep it together as you make moves with the tree at your back. Top of the boulder is a jug.

| Vintage | V7 | - | TBD |
| Major League Swing | V8+ | - | Start on a good edge to the right side of the arête and make a big move to a sloping dish around the arête. Utilize a heel hook and small crimps to bust to the lip. Press it out.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Color of Time | V9 | - | A power endurance test piece. Sit start with your hands crossed. Heel hook near your hand and power up right to a sloping ledge. Continue right hand to a decent sloper ledge. Sink a heel on the upper start hold and make a big move to a ledge side pull with an indent. Take a breath and prepare for the crux. Find a way to cross up and over to the next ledge which faces the wrong direction, then adjust your feet holding maximum tension. Bust to the lip saving strength for a topout that could spit you off.
