This is a good V2 located within the Buddha Cave area of Castlewood Canyon.  Sit down start off a pocket and cobble.  I felt getting off the ground was the crux.  It is a fun warm-up for some of the other routes in the area.

This is another nice problem located within the Buddha Cave area of Castlewood.  This problem is located just to the left of

Sit down start off a good 3 finger pocket with your right and a poor "pocket" with your left.  Move up on good holds to the huge cobble just a little to the left.  Match here, move up to the hole and a little pocket just up and left of the hole.  Top out or just jump off.

Slicko Mode is another super easy route once you get your right foot up. Basically, it climbs a vertical slab with one crimp rail and some slopey holds. It is mostly foot work after you mantel the first move.

To the left of the Buddha Cave, start in a large, oval hueco, and move out the prow.

It’s a really easy, little crack on the side of a wall that has a J, hooked shape to it, hence the name. It is further right from the top cave area above (and left from)

Phillip's Problem

. Very short and nice, the start is probably the crux if you’d call it one.

This is a good, stretchy, warm-up problem. Start in the corner with a sit-start on a large pebble. The feet are the hardest part of the start, and shorter people may be at an disadvantage. Make a big move to an obvious hueco hold. Move left on big holds, and top out left.

This is a great problem located within the Buddha Cave area of Castlewood Canyon.  This problem is located just to the right of

Sometimes Wet

.  Sit down start on a large, sloping cobble and crimp.  The only way I could get off the ground on this was with a crossed hands start.  Throw up to the large incut cobble just right of the start, now hit the lip.  Classic!

This is a nice V3 just to the right of

Phillip's Problem

in the Buddha Cave area of Castlewood Canyon.

Start in a decent 2 hand "hole", move up to the horn.  Move left hand out to a decent hold and throw up the heel hook.  Grab the seem up to the right with your right hand then use crimps on the left to gain the top lip.  Fun!

Start in a large hole below the roof, and move out on crimps and cobbles to finish on
