This route is basically a 11c to a v4/5 boulder problem.  A no hands rest negates any pump factor but the boulder problem is a fierce little beast.

Long and pumpy, TWBYL has a fun vertical start and a steep finish. 

  Pull a tricky move over the initial roof to gain the easier vertical wall above.  Then follow cracks and good holds to the base of the steep upper half.  Powerful moves on decent holds get you to a horizontal seam that heads left good holds and the anchor.

Climb the face to a black and white peppered section with a good camouflaged move and on to the top.

Attack the steep bouldery dihedral before committing to a mantle getting up and past the first bolt. Continue up an easy slab before committing to a steep overhang with great stems.

The Inner Circle is the left hand of the three major lines through the roofs.  It ends at shuts beneath an enormous blank roof at the top of the wall.   

  Stick clip a very high first bolt and step onto the wall from cheater blocks (or jump), and climb up steep terrain to a no-hands rest.  Continue up past a few more bolts to one last good stance before the upper roofs.  The crux is a long sequence of powerful moves on good holds with poor feet.

Keeper of the Flame is the middle of the three major lines through the roofs. It ends at shuts beneath an enormous blank roof at the top of the wall.   

  Stick clip the first bolt and step off the boulder to begin.  A brief, one-move crux at a small right-facing corner to a huge hold leads to a few more moves to the anchors.

Starts the same as Inner Circle, breaks off left below the roof to a large block with a rail and a pull into the face

Steep and enjoyable climbing leads to a mantle before reaching the anchors. Unfortunately this route does not serve for much of a warmup for some of the steeper routes on the wall. Still it's a worthwhile endeavor.

Climb the crack to reach the first stance then continue up slightly overhanging rock through a couple of small roofs.

This route begins to the left of Double Trouble and climbs two roofs. Both are fun (if a little awkward) and the climbing in between them is mellow.

The Inner Circle has a super-short approach and is home to a half dozen nice climbs, three of which are amazing 5.12a's through very steep rock.  The wall is south-facing but good tree coverage keeps it partially shaded until mid-day.  Oh, and a good stick clip should be considered mandatory.
