No real crux, just wedge yourself in and go. Only big bros would work for gear. Can place med to large cam at start.

5.4 Chimney

Space Walk

Short & wide offwidth

Flake

Black Hole Sun

Once a top rope that had gone by the way side but now is a fantastic lead for the Ortega. Start at base of squeeze chimney (easy if short). Wiggle way back and up into the chimney until you reach a crack that takes a #4 or #5. Exit chimney to a nice ledge and take the Space Walk (easier if tall). Bring a stiff quick draw to clip the high bolt off the ledge, or pre place draws after leading one of the other routes.

5.9 if you stay in the crack. Quality lil’ route and quickest way to access anchors.

Chimney or lie back the flake and use the face (slightly harder).

To the right of the 5.4 chimney. 2 bolts. Best to put a short draw on 2nd bolt. Nice crimps and side pulls... look for the Black Hole Foot Hold. Exciting top out with nice view.
