The crux is at the 4th bolt.  This is a good route, short and fun.  It is a bit hollow behind some of the plates right of the last bolt to the anchors.

The cruxes are before the first bolt and around last bolt.  It is a fun climb on easy ground.  I marked it "R" simply because there are 5 bolts in 80 feet and it is possible to take a 30-35 footer on less than vertical ground along with the fact that there is loose rock.  It could be a good beginer lead if the person can read poor rock conditions.

This route is about 200 yards upstream from the bridge (to the West). Stay on the left side of the bolts and climb straight up.  After the first bolt, there is a nice place to stand, but then the fun begins.  Things keep getting thinner until you get past the fourth bolt.  After cliping the fifth bolt (with the ring), you can come down or continue up the crack to the top.  If you stay right of the bolts, you can lay back the entire route at about 5.7, or just clip the first bolt if you choose.

1.3 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube is a dirt pullout on the north side of the road.  Walk 150 feet west to the rock with 5 bolts on it.  This route is called

Ironjohn

and is wrongly called Road Side Attraction in this guide. Climb the left side of the rock on big holds to the top.

The crux is just prior to first gear (10 feet) and near the pitons at the top.  It is a fun trad route, but beware of the large, rectangular block 30 feet up.

**WARNING - Do not pull on or step on this block. If it comes out, it will kill someone****.

The rock is solid for the most part.  Fun.
