Climb easy ground up to steep jug hauling. Crux involves a finger jam. Excellent warm up for the Delicate Tiger and Massif Groove.

Massif Groove

The Delicate Tiger

Massif Groove is a unique and very enjoyable 9 bolt line that should be on everyone's LOTL ticklist. The route starts up three bolts of steep mega-jugs before a roof. The face looks like it could be loose, but is super solid! Clip the fourth bolt with sling to prevent any rope drag; only two more easy moves will get you to the fifth bolt. The crux is pulling straight over the roof on sizable jugs. Finish with four more bolts, intersecting with Delicate Tiger at the last two.

The Delicate Tiger delivers excellent excitement and commendable adventure. Scramble up easy terrain up to the imposing four and a half foot roof. Reach way out and make a series of five or six wild pumpy moves onto a nice set of jugs. After that first hard part of The Delicate Tiger is done, you can relax with 25 feet of vertical 5.6-5.8 up to a gap. Step right across the gap and continue up a line of bolts up enjoyable easier climbing.
