Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| So Much Pressure | V5 | - | Start on the jug of Performance Anxiety and go immediately right and exit above. |
| The Craw | V5 | - | Stand start on a perfect rail near the crack. Climb up and right on good crimps to topout above. Be careful of the fall zone near the top. Get up there and find the holds on the lip. |
| Time for War | V5 | - | A boulder problem that needed to be climbed. Stand start with the left hand on a good ledge above your head and right hand on the undercling ledge below it. Campus or try to paste a foot to move up and right, utilizing lots of footwork. Decent holds lead to a committing left heel hook for a top-out.

| Treasure Island | V5 | - | Start on a sidepull and a crescent crimp. Climb the arête to the top. |
| Ungnomely | V5 | - | Sit start low on good incuts. Move up to a crimp and sloper and pop for the top |
| What Bugs? | V5 | - | A great compression problem. Start low on a small ledge and right edge. Power up! A low start is entirely feasible for those looking for an easy cleaning job on a boulder that’s very friendly on height and padding.

| Wrap Around | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the left side of the short boulder. Hands just right of the crack on the face. Traverse the lip to the right on slopers and make it to the jug. Top out by keep moving up the arête. |
| 7 Minutes in Heaven | V6 | - | Start on the two lowest incut-ish crimps. Make your way up and slightly left. This climb is deceivingly easy until you try it. |
| Arctic Halo | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit Start down and left on a slanting crimp rail. Get off the ground and immediately enter the crux by traversing to the right using underclings, heel hooks, and slopers. Get around to the corner and tackle the big but oddly graspable holds on the arête to the top. |
| Blind Attack | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Crouch start/stand on left and right arete pretty low. Left hand has a decent incut thing and the right is underneath a seam. |
| Chainsaws Akimbo | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start underneath the roof very low in the vertical crack and work through the awesome crack feature to meet a crux pulling the roof! |
| Dying Breed | V6 | - | Stand start on crimps. Make a few heinous moves to a sloper rail. Traverse left to topout. |
| Halfway to Booty | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the mega jug horn underneath and in the middle of the severe overhang. Make a big move to the lip and work the arête left and copout on the fin. |
| Mrs. Buttersworth | V6 | - | Climb the arête from a sit start utilizing small crimps, big moves, and the splits. Start with left hand pinching the arête and right hand on your choice of crimps. Move up and right, establishing your feet in a split position and figure out how to get over the bulge.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Shakes and Stutters | V6 | - | Start on two crimps at about head height. Move right, traversing into performance anxiety and topout. |
