A great new warm-up in the main part of the canyon. Start traversing across the slab to reach the crack. Then head straight up on jugs and many sidepulls towards the short dihedral in the roof. Here at the last bolt is a fun crux right before you gain the anchors (but well protected).

This route is another great warm up due to sun and quality of holds.  Climbs up pockets into featured upper section.  It is about 50 feet right of Mock Duck. At present there is a route being put in just left of it.

Vertical rock to a crux roof. Couple of moves and it's good to go.

After you've warmed up on Mock Duck, step left and head up Going Commie. This is a very fun and consistent 5.11. I felt the crux was using some small edges and sidepulls around the 4th bolt and then pulling up and over the buldge after the undercling around the 5th bolt. The bottom is more techy while the top gets pumpy. It's somewhat of a difficult clip at the anchors too and if you were to miss it it'd be a big ride so be ready to bring it until the end.

Ride the Snake is just right of Mock Duck.  Climbs pockets into a steeper headwall.  More rides than not have been taken on this one.

Mock Duck is one of the more popular warm ups.  Sun in morning shade afternoon.  Great belay on big flat patio.  Climb pockets just right of crack.  Route uses the crack at times but try to not cross it for safety sake.

The Duck wall is the the more vertical wall directly across from the main wall. It houses some nice 5.10's and 5.11's along with Ride the Snake (.12b) for those not excited about the steepness over on the main wall. It gets early morning shade (for alpine starters) then sun until around 1ish depending on the time of year. Shade all afternoon.
