This variation of Lemming Juice avoids the 5.11a crux and roof pull by coming in from the left. It veers up the ramp and joins the main route at an exposed angled traverse.

Lemming Juice 5.9 variation

Pocket Gopher

Lemming Juice

Starts on the uphill southwest side of the Rodentia formation. A fun sequence through the lower 1/3 of the route begins at a small roof and heads through a series of pockets. This route is in the shade of trees and will require maintenance at the beginning of each season.

Begins at the downhill most SE corner of the Rodentia formation and is the first bolted line you see as you approach on the Baseline Trail from Turtle Rock. The crux is right after the first bolt with a tricky move getting through the dihedral. Follow the bolt line veering right above an undercut lip. Rappel off summit chains.

Lies uphill of the baseline trail. Rodentia will be the first formation north of Turtle Rock and where a trail forks off to access Singer Slab. Rodentia is approximately 65 feet high. Until this area too becomes part of the ever expending clearcut it will lie within the shadows of the surrounding forest. Currently there are two established routes and one variation ranging from 5.9 to 5.11a.
