A really, really fun jug haul up a steepening section of the wall, with an intimidating roof near the top.

Start on a foot-wide ledge below the first bolt and head up on less-than-vertical rock using positive edges (and one pocket) through three bolts to a bit of a ledge. Continue up the now steepening, blocky section using mostly jugs (occasionally juggy sidepulls). Wonder a time or two if the jugs are going to stay attached to the wall.

Arrive under the roof, take a breath, and haul your corpus upward.

At the second bolt above the roof (the last, and tenth overall) head up and right to the chains (the chains can't be seen from the last bolt—they are over the bulging section of rock at the top that is to the right of the bolt line ).

A tricky, balancy start to an

I-hope-this-doesn't-fall-off

flake followed by a concentration-inducing, shallow dihedral.

Atop the dihedral the crux awaits: a slightly more than vertical section with sidepulls and non-existent feet.

Going left and following the larger, more logical holds at the penultimate bolt keeps the rating down in the .11 range.

Bouldery start leads to a great ledge. Steep climbing on positive crimps, sidepulls and jugs.  Glory knee bar around the 3rd bolt. Kinda chossy rock up to janky open ended anchors.

Steep, fun and moderately good.

An exciting line that runs up just to the left of a thin prow.

A delicate move or two to the first bolt, then some careful foot work to the second (don't fall clipping the second boltyou'll deck). Arete trickery for a bit, then left onto the face left of the arete, following the good pockets to the chains.

Steep climbing on good holds. Very consistent from bottom to top. Crux can be found near the middle.

Can't quite call it 12d but very solid at 12c.

Surprisingly solid rock but as always,  wear a helmet!

Easy climbing on first 3 bolts. Crux is a well defined middle section  with about 5 moves then eases up to 5.10 climbing.

The route is pretty steep and fun.
