  This climb is moderate until it gets hard and has been rated from 11 to 12-.  Marginal underclings and footwork intensive moves off an index finger stack (sort of) lead to a jug but it stays with you after that.  We originally thought this was harder than the route to the left.  But after trying to repeat the route to the left I think I will raise the grade on it.  Look forward to seeing what concensus ends up being.

Hard start over a roof to a little less demanding moves through bulges.

A couple of thin sections and a balance move to finish it off.

Heavily bolted face climbing on good edges on steep rock.

Interesting climbing that angles up and right roughly following a groove and turning a number of bulges.

A couple of sections will get your attention on this sustained route.  Edging skills will serve you well.

Overhanging arete/buttress vaguely reminiscent of Steve's Arete.  A section of opposition moves reminds one of hugging your middle aged aunt.  You are happy to hug her but you realize this is a different body than the one in the photos of her on the mantel.  You can also pull all the way around to the left if you like crack climbing.

Interesting edging and thoughtful route finding on vertical rock.

A knee bar makes the first clip easy and protects the first hard section.  The rest of the climb is pretty moderate and leads to a fun right arching layback section through the final bulge.

Moderate start to a section that will sting you.  Thin tricky face climbing.

This route is all about edging and thin crimps.  Pretty fun stuff.

This cliff somehow became a small area with more routes than we expected.  Faces west so it is shady in the morning and sunny in the afternoon.  The rock is a Banded Gneiss with a bit of patina that begs the belayer to wear a helmet.  Fun edging on routes from 40 to 80 feet long.  At the south end is a leaning pillar where those looking for a little more sting will find it.  As usual with these newer areas the rock leaves a little to be desired but it is mostly small stuff that will clean up with the passage of climbers.  Occasionally your quickdraw will bang against the wall and give off a hollow sound as if it is in bad rock.  It isn't in bad rock.  The bolt is in good stuff but the rock below might have a little veneer that could give you pause but the bolts are in good stuff. 

  The first routes were put up in a pretty stiff breeze and when a loose flake was removed a number of bark scorpions were lifted up towards Jimbo as he hung from the top-rope.  You should have seen him trying to avoid a collision.
