The Beginners 's Crack

Start by sucker punch and traverse left until the ledge, once your standing on the ledge your done

Bolted route just to the left of Quagmire. Up a zig-zagging thin crack with positive, but thin, side-pulls. Continuously 5.10 to the top without any terrific rests. 

  I personally enjoyed this route quite a bit. Worth doing a few laps on for a workout.

Steep wall that looks to seep water a bit...  Looks like good crimps to some big reaches at top. 

A very fun line! Climb up to the slab to the right of the obvious horizontal crack. There is no protection until you reach the crack. Traverse the crack with solid hands and poor feet until the crack diminishes. From there, follow up the right facing dihedral to the top. Use the tree as an anchor to belay up a second. 

Starts two hand on the chalky side pull. Bump your left hand up to the small crack/crimp just above the start hold. Dino to the sloper about 4 feet (rough estimate)above and to the right of the start hold and then top out of the route! Solid route for anyone who likes pumpy slab routes![[]]

Wet corner with what must be an appropriate name.

The arete and flake to the left of 6-foot flake.

Slab on easy edges between bolted routes.

One of the longest routes at the quarry. Starts in a left-facing dihedral on the broken corner to the left and down the wall from quagmire. If this location description is confusing, then just look for the only route with 4 bolts up it (although the 4th bolt is useless, and probably for the 5.13 on the face just to the right of this climb). The crux of the route is about 5-feet off the ground, where some stemming will make up for less-than-ideal hands. Past the crux is easier ground to the top.

3 bolts, start on crack/flake at the left side of the slab.  Follow bolts.

Featured sort-of arete.  Nice climb with offset balance moves.  Doesn't get enough attention, in my opinion.  5.6 is listed in the park handout, but seems sandbagged to me.

3 Bolt slab route.  Flat landing so bouldering it is  all good if you are OK with a little highball action.

Easy crack climb.. as long as your here you might as well wander up it.
