Very hard roof move at start, and trust me when the holds run out look for the pocket at the 2nd bolt from the top.

Steep with many difficult sections. Less than obvious line that requires climbing out of the bolt line at times.First sport route at Dierkes.

Start under a roof, clip the first bolt from the ground and then lieback a crack, that's better than it looks, to a good jug.  Traverse left and and pull another tricky roof into a smooth dihedral.  Next section is strange; bolt line goes left but holds end in that direction.  I went right and pulled through the apex of the roof (crux?).  A no-hands rest waits above the roof.  From here, steep and pumpy climbing on jugs will take you to the chains.

Powerful climbing that requires a dyno at the crux.

Start to the left of Bevis under roof with nice hand crack. Jam and place gear then clip 3 bolts to the Bevis anchor. Hard jamming of the ground.

Very fun but thin climbing. Bring an additional cams for the bottom and top. (1/2" & 1 1/4")

Powerful climb with multiple boulder problems broken up by a no hands rest at the pigeon nest. Lots of bird shit.

Starts just right of Evil D.  Climb up to the death block (feels solid) and pull over the roof to a good rest.  Head up easier ground to three drilled pockets.  finish up and left through the final roof

5.11 climbing to a crux boulder problem at the top.

Powerful start followed by pumpy climbing.

Hard climbing that tends to wander back and forth.

Several difficult sections with bizzare body contortions required at the top.

Loose and oily feeling rock. Bad, Bad, Bad.

Powerful start leads to an awkward mantel after the last bolt. Very pumpy climbing

Very steep and crux is pulling the roof at the top. Shares first 3 bolts and anchors with Ziplock

Hard moves right off the ground, easier up high.

Easy to set up on TR.

Steep with a series of long reaches. Three crux sections.

Steep and powerfull, favors taller folks, stick clip first bolt.

Steep climbing on large holds that are sometimes hard to see from below.

Steep and powerfull, crux at 2nd to last bolt.

Steep and powerfull, shares first four bolts with Power Lunch then moves left.

Fun and steep climbing with a powerful roof move at 3/4 height.

Climb the short arete on the left corner of the alcove.  The first hold is a large flake.  Match a crimp and clip the first bolt, then flail for holds in a messy chalked up section of broken rock.  Clip the second bolt and commit to the steep section on monster holds in cool huecos that may be hard to see in time.  Pull through the huecos to a huge pocket on the face, clip the bolt on the left side of the arete, and struggle to find that tiny hold that will get you to the jug at the chains.

Crux is at the top and it helps to either be very flexible or short. It helps to be taller for the roof crux at the start.

Good climbing although a bit run-out at times.

Shares first 3 bolts with She-Devil. Bust right around the arete and pull the roof then rejoice at the chains.
