Not a bad way to get your hands in a crack with out having to go too far (if you live near by)...

 Climb a series of ledges for 10 feet till you can reach the crack... Jam the nice crack to a slab then up a groove along a crack... At the headwall continue up the crack system just to the left side of an overhang... Mantle a ledge above the overhang and continue up the crack to a slab and on to the top...

A fun climb that looks a bit intimidating but interesting from the ground... Not really as much of a crack as the name implies but there are are enough cracks to make it pretty much well protected... With the exception of one move up top which is easily avoided by taking an alternate finish...  

  Start by climbing up the easy buttress below the right end of the Beehive Overhang to a ledge at the right edge of the overhang... Place some gear and make moves up and slightly left to a stance below a piton, clip it and move up the steep wall to another pin (half driven junk, i didn't bother with it) one or two moves after the pin there is a jug and a nice crack for a cam (conserve your yellow camalot if you do the finish i describe)... Climb up easy lower angle rock to a left facing horn/flake below a steep blankish wall... Start left and climb up and right (PG13) on a horizontal crack, pull up to place a piece(yellow camalot)... Continue up right with a high foot mantel move... Easy slab to the top and a tree to belay... The route is a nice straight shot up the cliff...  

This is the route that climbs the Black Overhang directly up on to the slab above via cracks and incut holds slightly right of center... 

  Climb up to the overhang and possision your self just below the crack at the lip of the overhang... Climb nice incuts (that might be reachy for smaller folks) to the lip where you can jam a good crack place some gear and do a sidepull move to gain the slab... From here climb the slab until you can join Standard route climb that to the top with a slightly direct variation at the top at about 5.7... 

  This route unlike most Rimmon routes doesnt feel like a sandbag... Maybe i did it wrong and all the good holds are "off route" haha...

There are endless variations to this problem... 

  start in the corner and climb out the roof gaining a good hold, then a tough mantel and a scramble down... A fun warm up...or project.... There are variations heading out left and out right at the roof but straight up and over is the most popular and fun....

This is a cool climb that zigs and zags through the middle of the 100 foot wall following the path of least resistance with a few options... 

  To start locate the black overhang just right of a big pine tree on a ledge 25 feet off the ground... Step to the right till you see a really moderate grove... Follow the grove to an overhang and traverse left and up the slab laying back and jamming cracks ... There are a few options here you will break right either before or after a roof... The traditional way is to go right before the roof (about 5.6 by modern standards) and up some interesting climbing... If you keep heading up the corner past the roof you break right up a grove to a series of ledges and the top (this is the finish of beginners route 5.5)... 

  The route can be broken in to a few pitches or done in one...

A bit scary to look at, it's just dark and big and spooky it climbs ok though... 

  Just climb up in to the wide crack and thrutch your way up to the tree... Not much else to be said other than the fact that it is often wet when things are wet... From the top of the crack climb up the groove above to its top... Step right and face climb up steep rock with a few mantel moves... and finally make hard sloper moves to the summit...

A local favorite for sure... At the left end of the cliff before you get to the slab look for a nice big flake near the top of the cliff on a white face... That is the key feature on Creatures Creation... 

  Start as for Powder Puff up the layback corner 10 feet right of Little Overhang... Climb the slab above heading for the white face and the nice flake... Mantle a 2" wide ledge and gain the left facing flake... Climb the flake and mantel to a slightly better stance on a small ledge... Climb up and left to meet Tippy Toe Slab and on to the Top... 

  Some times i pick a route just by looking at one feature on the climb and saying i want to touch that... The big flake on Creatures is like that, you can see it from the ground and you just want to grab it...

Another fun moderate right here in Manch... 

  Start under the intimidating looking black overhang climb up to the overhang and just when you are about to do something absolutely  amazing to get over the roof you change your mind and traverse left in a horizontal crack toward the big tree on a ledge leaving the world to wonder... From the tree climb the groove above you till you get to a steep wall that looks hard to climb straight up... This time move right up a cracked corner to a nice ledge... The top is near, just make a few moves up on ledges and you will find trees to belay from...

This is my favorite route at Rimmon to solo cause it looks pretty serious but the holds are really good on the steep part... The moves are super fun and there are many places to just sit and chill... On a rope you can do it in one pitch or two depending on what you are looking for... 

  Start in the corner crack 10 feet right of the little overhang.... Climb the corner to a small pine tree on a nice big ledge... Continue on easy ground up and right to a roof with a ledge and a very small pine tree on it... Climb over the roof and on to the ledge to left of the little tree... Sit on the tree ledge with your feet hanging off, trust me it is a really nice spot... After taking it all in step behind the tree and up on good holds to the top... Belay from a tree or anchors to the left...

The left side as I will describe it is the left side of the steeper climbing before getting to the slabs....   You will be at the left end when you notice a few choices of cracks heading up to a large ledge.... Also marking the left side is the boulder problem little overhang.... It is a small roof 8 feet off the ground above a corner.... We will call it, everything from the right edge of the slabs over the Beehive Crack 5.8... 

  This is a good spot for beginners as there are numerous options that can be climbed off of a single anchor.... Basically I like to do a choose your own adventure approach here picking a crack to start and a few different (mostly steep and juggy) finishes to choose from....
