The rightmost of the 3 crack-like features that are along this short section of climbing wall. Start below the crescent moon shaped flake, just to the left of the overhanging bloc. Ascend to that flake, continuing up to the wide ledge above

A left facing crack that makes its way from bottom to top. The first half is steep, does not offer a lot of foot purchase and much of the crack is flaky and brittle. The upper half, after the bisecting horizontal crack, turns into a shallow dihedral for an easier finish. Some corners in the upper half seem to collect thick mud runoff, lending credence to its name.

Start at bottom of the lower ledge crack. You will gain to wide ledge with some trees. Move to the right a bit and climb the right-facing crack to the top ledge. The crack is definitely the crux of this route. You might consider lowering and walking back up the guardrail trail because its a 5th class scramble from the top of the ledge back to the large tree anchor

This starts with a mantle move, then balancing up a ledge. Pull yourself up two more ledges and finish off with some stemming through a dirty corner. The whole route feels like a series of boulder problems chained together.

Nice looking line with a 5.12 crux mid way and then friction slab to finish

Incredibly thin crack with a few larger breaks for full hands along the way

Climb a slabby slope up the corner and over the overhanging block

Start at the bottom of the crack and up to the anchors. The bottom half is mostly broken ledges until you reach the crack proper.  Crux is at the top where the crack narrows

Packin' Heat is uncharacteristically steep for the Portland Area.  This Aesthetic line lays siege to the underside of an imposing arete/nose/roof thingy.  Packin' heat demands it all as you pull pockets up a 30 degree overhung wall.

Look for the rock scar to the right of the obvious crack and chain anchors that mark Ranger Danger. This route starts below the scar, continues through, and urges you to finish to the right with some nicer sloping ledges. There are bolt anchors on the ledge at the top of the route. There is a solitary tree for a toprope anchor located up top about 20 feet back from the edge

Left-facing finger crack that might be the best thing in this area. The top portion is the crux, but some flaring in the crack should help. There is a pair of bolt anchors with rusty quick-links at the top. A large silverfish colony seems to spawn around the upper portion of the crack

Mean Street is set apart from the rest of the cliffs at Rocky Butte because the waterfall (seasonal) nearly drowns out the sound of the freeway and creates an almost pleasant atmosphere.

 Mean Street is between Warrior Wall (around the #3 Marker) and Toothpick Wall (#2 Marker). From the top, this section is indicated by the chain link fence and guardrail along the road, which protects from the sharp drop-off. There is no upper cliff-side trail to use here.
