Crack climb in the corner of flashpoint atop the ledge Lisa's Lunge Time stars on. Nice little dirty crack climb. The 'ambiance' seems to be that of a little traveled fun climb.

The crux is getting to the don't fall mantle ledge, there is gear in a horizantal a couple feet above the bolt that could save you from a grounder if you botch the move going to the mantle ledge. After the mantle ledge you want to punch to the crack, then enjoy the easy fun crack climbing!

A great face climb through bulging rock. Long reaches on good holds take you up to a fun but sequential traverse. From there head up and pull over onto the right face. Keep it together for a reachy move and then take in the view while clipping the anchors. FANTASTIC!

Climb the first 15-20 ft of Stoke Victim to reach a horizontal crack.  Traverse right about 10 ft and follow the staircase like feature up to the top of the pinnacle.

Climb the thin flake (fingers) heading slightly left and then straight up to an overhang.  Pass the overhang on the right and into a corner.  Traverse 8 Ft. right to access a Bombay hand/finger crack (crux) and follow to the top.  This route is much cleaner than it appears from the ground.  The walls on either side of the crack have lots of lichen, but the holds that you need are all very clean.  Some of the rock near the overhang is a little broken, but very stable.

This is an OK route, more of a novelty because it tops out on a pinnacle which is unique for the New.  Definitely do this route over Thought Crime (5.7) because it has more interesting moves.  Climb straight up the arete.

Looking for a route where hanging the draws will add several unnecessary difficult moves? A route shrouded in lichen clouds, unmarred by the white chalk that stain the rest of endless, with an awkwardly desperate crux? Look no further, this is your dream!

This route is not commonly done, as there are not many who enjoy what I mentioned above. But don't let that deter you, the climbing (when draws are hung) is pleasant enough to run a lap! The crux is slightly heightest and will feel harder if there is no chalk on the wall, make sure you stretch those hips before getting on this one!

Be safe clipping the anchors, you can almost get one carabiner clipped into both anchors...

Getting to the first bolt is the crux on this route and if you fall trying to get to the bolt you will take a long nasty fall because of where this route starts...ledge with a drop of to the left onto boulders.  You can make this climb easier by stemming off of the tree to get to the first bolt.  After all that, climb up passing a small flake and following the bolts up and left and then up a nice steep wall to finish.
