This is yet another nice splitter boulder in the Spires. Sit start on tips locks, then make some hard moves with horrible foot holds to gain better jams. The topout slab has less-than-ideal rock, but it is low angle with good jams.

Maybe it is not quite classic and more of a 3.5 star problem out of 4, due to the looseness up top.

Purity Ring is an absolutely classic 45 degree overhanging thin hands to ringlocks crack. Sit start with a left thin handjam and right hand fingerstack. Work your way up utilizing paddle hands, fingerstacks, and ringlocks. About halfway up, the crack jogs slightly right and narrows where you will have to fire on all cylinders for the next 8 or so feet. This climb doesn't let up until both of your feet are over the lip of the overhang. The rest of the climb is easy and enjoyable 5.4 fingercrack to the top.

It was named for the pureness of the ringlocks on this line - there are no feet or crimps outside of the crack.

Chipotle Away ascends a tall slab with tricky movement and a bad landing. This is classic!, but don't fall.... Start left of "

," and move up and left on the slab. You end up between a subtle butt cheeks feature.

It is supposedly similar to the crux of "

."

Taco Flavored Kisses is a good, slab boulder problem with a high step crux. This is really fun!

This is pronounced with a soft "J".... and has funky mantel on a rounded boulder. Start with your left hand on the low crimp rail and your right hand on a small dimple/sidepull thing, and go up and over.
