This climbs the most obvious line in the area, a tall white blunt arete that faces the pond.  Awesome big holds lead to a high, fun topout.  Stand start on waist high jugs with big feet.  Pull up and left to a bucket, match, stand up, and repeat.  The crux comes at the top. 

  A sit start bumps the grade to V1.

Bugland Arete

Malaria

Bugland Direct

Influenza

Just right of Influenza, this climbs the short arete/corner that is visible from the trail. Sit start with a good left foot on the arete and a right smear on the face.  Pull off the ground with two underclings above head height (if you can't reach, then pop into them) and grab the lip.  Mantle over the top.  Did I mention that it's short?

Crimpier and more committing than it's neighbor, but still fun.  Crimp, crimp, smaller crimp, gaston, crimp, dyno, mantle.  Woohoo.  Stand start right of the arete on two good crimps.  Pull on, cross right hand up to a smaller crimp, work the feet, then gaston a good hold.  Reach up right to a small white crimp and toss for a slopey jug at the lip.  Mantle over the top to finish.

A one-move wonder, but a good one at that.  Sit start just right of the tree with the obvious undercling feature.  Pull off the ground with difficulty, toss for the lip, and with any luck you'll stick the jug rather than the sloper.  As with a lot of these climbs, it would be much better if it led to more climbing.

Alright, so it's not as buggy as it sounds, but in bug season, it's just as bad as the rest of the park.  This is a small area located midway down the Fire Road with a limited number of climbs, but a couple of them are worth checking out, namely the Bugland arete.  People climbed on the boulder nearest the fire road years ago but the boulders are largely ignored at this point.  Drop in on your way up or down the hill, crank off a few problems, and at least get to say you tried something new.
