This problem starts sitting on obvious good edges and breaks right towards the arete via tiny crimps underclings, and toe hooks.

Climb the vertical limestone face, trending up and slightly right.

The bottom section starts with lots of moss and dirt. Layback the dihedral while trending rightwards through a series of edges, min-overlaps, and laybacks before joining the ledge and anchor of

Over The Sea

. This actually cleaned up well, and the climbing is fun. It is great for a TR fitness afterburner. Leading it would be interesting for the belayer.

This is kind of a neat, little, crack and stemming, beginner route.

This route has a powerful boulder problem in the first two bolts with easier, juggy climbing after that. It shares an anchor with

Jesus Freak

.

The crux moves felt like mid-12 to me, but it's so short, and I'm sure there's an easier way to do it. If anyone has any more details on this route, please add it.

This is another good beginner climb, although it has a tricky topout.

Climb the fun vertical face to below a roof. Pull through the roof (crux) and continue up the steep face to the chains.

This route starts near the pool in an alcove. Climb up in the corner on good holds, then move right onto the face and up to a three bolt anchor.

November 2021, the rock to the right of the first couple bolts fell down in a major rockfall.

This route is often dirty and/or wet. Climb past one bolt to the top of a pillar, continue up the steep face to the roof, pull the roof and finish up with more steep face.

Middle Man is a five bolt sport route that is just right of the

Funky Crack

.

This is a broken and varied, mostly finger-sized crack with lots of face features to use as well. The crack can be a little dirty from runoff.

This relatively new route is a powerful and technical 5.12 route just left of the classic 5.11 "

Close To The Edge

". It would be wise to stickclip the first bolt and anchor your belayer or you may find yourself in or your belayer stuck over "the sea" as I did. The initial overhang starts the 5.12 climbing at the second bolt with some steep sidepulling to turn the roof, a tough clip, then a powerful sequence with two pairs of crimps that are quite far apart. Make a difficult clip and a few more hard moves up the arete to reach a rest between bolt 4 and 5. Make a tricky mantel move, then finish on easier but engaging climbing to the anchor.

This route is shorter than most of the others in the Pool Area, the anchor is situated a little more than halfway up the wall.  However the climbing is similar to neighboring routes, steep limestone.  It can be a little dirty.

Bolted by Erik Durgin, this route goes up the impressive roof that caps the Colorfest cliffband.

Do the first awkward crux of ''

Freak Show

'', rest up, and start making your way up a face that gets harder and harder. Fire up the roof on incredible pinches, finishing on a blind slam dunk move to the lip.

This uses classic Cascade style involving a lot of trickery with heel hooks and dropknees. Overall, it is one of the best hard routes around, and I'm hoping that putting it here will encourage people to get on it.

No Idea has a high first bolt. Climb the easy, and slightly dirty start up to the obvious large ledge. Clip the first bolt on the face, and continue following the bolt line.. The climbing gets harder towards the middle of the face through the top on some smaller holds and not the best feet.

Climb up small edges on close to vertical rock, then make a bigger move over a roof.  It is easier but somewhat tiring climbing to the anchors.

This has a highball start; the crux is at the third bolt.

Start up an arete, then some face moves to below a roof. Pull the roof on good holds, and finish at chains.

Climb up the easy face to the crux roof move (finding the holds can be the hardest part), then pull better holds to the top.
