A more direct start to Ra that clocks in one grade harder. Rather than climbing the same 5.9 start as The Claw, climb the thin boulder crack that will take you directly under the flaring crack and into Ra’s laser finger crack.

Start the Same as the Claw and move right and up the steep finger crack.  Very sustained.

Start at the base of karl bird crack, then climb up the horizontal crack left to a stance (first pieces). Move up and right to a solid flake. Throw some gear in a seam (techy gear, extremely crucial) and then crank some hard moves up to the last horizontal (gear). From there climb slightly left and up to 2 pitons which mark the end of the route. Sustained climbing on a steep face.

The first 15 feet or so is the business on this route.  Sprint up the 5.9 section and the climbing backs off to easy 5.6 after that.  A fun route and good warm up.

This route starts in the corner just right of Power Series.  The crux is about 10 feet above the starting ledge, but well protected.  Although rated 5.6 in the guide book the crux feels more like 5.8.

Climb the face up to a short section of 5.9 left facing crack and then into a right angling crack. Takes a high line that intersects with “I Want to Be in the Guidebook”.

Follow angling cracks up until it turns into a flake above a small bush. Fun! Join up with After Lunch to build an anchor.

A bouldery start that probably clocks in at 5.11ish.  The rest of the route has you placing an assortment of gear with a nice hands finish.  (Have someone spot you at the start, pro is not available for a little bit).

Steep beginning and finish in the offwidth.

Climb up a left facing flake and dihedral into a pod that takes gear.  Climb on crimps up to a horizontal for marginal pro.

Climb the face staying about 5ft left of Karl Bird Crack. Off the deck you get a 12c move. Up in the 2nd seam is the crux hand foot match.

Climb the offwidth crack just behind an Oak Tree.

East Face of the crab Eyes, the best place for shade.
