This route is on the south facing cliff left of Quirky Crack.  It is a small 25' crack up easy face climbing using the crack for pro.

It's a great route for aspiring trad climbers to practice placing stoppers.

Easy grade low-angle face climbing for bottom two-thirds of route to a more vertical few moves (crux) before the sloping finish to the anchors.

Climb up pockety slab to more vertical rock on the south facing side past 4 bolts.  The crux is at the very top. The big finish hold is on the right side of the climb at the very top.

Makes for an excellent first lead.

Once you reach the top of the cone by either leading one of the routes or by scrambling up the east side (mostly fourth class with an easy fifth class finish) you'll find a two bolt anchor with a chain you can use to set up a top rope up the "back" (north) side of the cone.

I believe this route was put in by someone at SUU so that there were more available climbs when they hold climbing classes here (which is quite frequent).

Soft 5.7, no more difficult than Electric Avenue on the opposite side.

Route climbs past 4 bolts on the blunt arete of the Cone.  This is the funnest route on the Cone.

Climb up edges and pockets on arete past 5 bolts to 2 bolt anchor.

The crux is between the 4th and 5th bolt where there is a life saving knob/rock hold that is the coolest hold on the route.  First to second bolt is run out.

Fun route.

This route can be top roped via a trail around the south east side trail.

On the west facing side of the cone.  The first bolt is a little high.  The crux is pulling a bulge with good holds near the top.
