This is a great route to figure out how to smear, because simply if you don't figure it out, you won't climb the route.  This starts smooth and less-than-vertical.  Then, it gets smoother and more vertical.  By the mid to upper part, you are asking yourself, "what the heck is keeping me attached?"   

  A beer for anyone who flashes this route who doesn't already climb 5.11.

Paraboloid

Torque

Willie's Walk

Torque is a short, bouldery problem. Go up the slabby face, then follow the double slots that were cut by the quarrymen.

This is a stiff route for '66 and is still kinda squirrelly. This is the groove to the right of Parabola.

This is a polished section of the Quarries just to the right of the J Face. The rock can be quite slick.  There are some old bolt anchors on top which can be backed up with a #8 BD wire on the lefts side of the top.  There are some old bolts and an old tree 20 feet back from the right side of the top.
