Traverse the Abyss is a long traverse that goes across the whole back side of the

Abyss Boulder

. I went left to right. You start on good hands and feet in a scrunched position. Move right to some more good hands and a more comfortable position. Work your way to the right. In the middle, you start to find some sharp, iron crimps, and the feet start to become scarce. Once you move past that section, you'll be greeted with some good hands again and welcoming body position. Go around the corner, and climb to the top if you'd like.

Start on a leaning rail and make a very awkward move to a crescent mooned, sloper crimp. Make the match and go out right to another rail. Intermediate sidepulls may help getting you to the second rail.

Top out.

short..

Jump start or stack pads onto the jugs in the overhang, and climb up the slots and sandy pockets to a chossy topout. Good luck not breaking something at the very top!

If anyone knows of a FA or a name, please let me know.

This is the yellow route in the picture.

Make a couple of very hard moves to gain the lip. Then pump out pulling over the lip and eventually hit some slopers to top out.

Start on the right center face on positive holds. Move up using crimps and rails to a positive topout.

Silence is Violence is a super great climb with big holds and big feet the whole way up. Move up from shelf to shelf till you make a final dunk on the finish jug on top.

Alternatively you can finish

this way.

The Green route in the picture.

Start low in a hueco like pocket and move out around the lip to another pocket. Heel, then hit the waving set of crimps. Find one you like and pop up to an, in your face, crimp. Pull-up and hit a sloper and then top out.
