Start with crossed hands on the crimps in the large crack. Move up to the solid right hand jam. Use the bomber edges on the outside of the large crack to work the feet up. Slammin’ hand jam on the next face for the right and an upside down left. Move to the flakes out to the left and finish. If it’s summer, don’t slip out!

A low start into "Torpedo". Squat start further back under the tight roof starting on some good holds. Figure out your foot placement and the body positioning allowing you to keep tension and not cut feet. Execute a few hard moves into the big break and then finish up the cool crimp feature of "Torpedo". 

  If you are more into compression rather than crimping seams, you can start as for "Tavalin Shaft" and then finish up "Future Spray" for a very pumpy and puntable 8a/ V11 problem called "Shaft Spray".

The obvious topedo shaped groove on the left side of the roof. 

  Start on an undercling in the crack at the back of the roof.  Follow crimps on the rail and slots to a slopey top out. 

  Jump off when you hit the jug.

A super long and extremely pumpy roof problem. If interested, bring all the core you can muster, and a spare pair of shoulders! 

  This is a link-up of "Shaft-Spray" into the starting jug of "Reconciliation", but instead of finishing up the V5, climb backwards through "Honeycomb" and finish up "Vapor Lock". 

  Climber math is around V11 into a V10 backwards, which could potentially be harder than V10, then from there into a brick hard V11 with a red point crux last move. Adds up to be around 50 hand moves.

start way left on rail and traverse right to an undercling; pull the roof to crimps and a juggy top out.

To the right of Torpedo, start on the big chalked jugs and move as far up them as you can, head left to an incut then climb into Torpedo and finish it up.

Start standing in the back of the right side of the cave on a good flake, make your way towards the big jug rail and finish up on the Sand Blaster finish using some heel toe cams above your head to ease the pump. Doesn't seem to be any real verdict on whether or not the pedestal is on for the start, but it would make the first few moves considerably easier if it was.

Star as for "Honeycomb" and climb up into the start of "Reconciliation". From here finish up "Redheaded Step-child". Adds a few different moves and a different top sequence to "Honeycomb" V10.

Start on Sand Blasting Shelf and climb roof to contra finish

A very fun roof problem with pumpy climbing on decent holds to a tough, crimpy finish. 

  Start on Reconciliation, then make a big backhand move out right to a good finger bucket, crossover into worse edge, and then gun for some very nice pockets.  Rest up, then reach over the roof for a set of edges, make use of a tiny left hand edge and a distant, more generous right hand edge and dive into a hueco out left.  Jump off.

Start on jug and undercling the same as Tavalin Shaft. Climb left out the roof and link into Ded Beat to finish it up.

A hard compression problem. Squat start low at a big break in the roof, this problem has the same start as for "Torpedo". Using some interesting foot beta, smack up the torpedo shaped hold with the left hand and make use of some slopers out right for the right hand. The use of toehooks, heelhooks, and core will get you up this awesome compression line. Finish up "Reconciliation". 

  For additional difficulty and an extra v-point. Finish up "Red-headed Stepchild". This link-up is called "Spray-Child" V11.   Do "Shaft Spray"  into "Red Headed Stepchild"  for a line around V12. Not sure on the name.

Start as for Red Headed Stepchild and finish on the Dune Blaster finish.

same start as Dead Bird but ride the rail on good holds and okay holds; finish with a long move to a horn jug

An incredible roof problem on friendly, rounded pinches and pockets. Squat start down and right of the huge jug used as the start for "Reconciliation". Starting matched on an undercling flake, pull on with some dicey feet and move up lefty to a decent hold keeping body tension the whole time. From here keep moving towards the start of the V5 using a combination of toehooks and bicycles. Once the jug of the v5 is gained, put on the game face and be sure not to punt on the last move of "Reconciliation".

The most proud and the namesake of the roof. Starting matched on the undercling flake. Follow some unique pinches, pockets and crimps out of the roof more or less direct using some really hard toehooks and bicycles. Once at the lip move up righty to a slopey seam, bump left hand to a bad crimp and make a hard party trick/ dream crusher move to a sandy bucket up and left. Match the bucket then drop off!

A huge horizontal roof with sculpted pockets, pinches and flakes.  This south-facing venue is very popular.
