Pull the strenuous crux right off the ground via a hand crack/layback. Then stem your way up the dihedral crack past two small roofs. Clip the first bolt, and climb up and left for a few moves before heading back right. There is a pod in the corner that takes gear between the bolts. At the second bolt, climb up and right to the featured arete. Find some finger-sized gear, then continue to the two bolt anchor.

tree anchor. It could have been lead in the past with some runouts where the bolts are now. Whether it had been climbed before or not, it is now equipped so that a 5.9 climber won't be freaking out.

Loss of Limb climbs a wide crack that is mostly chicken wings. It starts with slithering into pod then having to come to outside of crack before having a good stretch of straightforward tight chimneying.  Two bolt chain anchor.

Start inside a three-sided chimney (the telephone booth) with a handcrack in the back. The chimney ends and the crack gets wide. Continue past a slung chockstone (gone as of 2021), and finish at a bolted anchor.

Ben had been wondering about the line for a while.  So one day we set up a rope on it and after closer inspection, a great climb was revealed.  Matt and I later bolted it while Ben was at work, and then Ben came back and nabbed the FFA... so there's that....

The start takes gear and is not as easy as it looks.  Also, clipping the first bolt is quite hard.  Continue up big moves on the flake and finish with delicate climbing on the slab up high.  Oh... and have fun clipping the anchors proudly... :)

This is a nice moderate that protects and climbs well. Climb the hand and finger crack past a tree, then finish up with steep, juggy, and fun moves to a bolted anchor.

Climb out the tight-hands roof, then up a right-facing corner that varies in size. When the crack pinches, clip a bolt, some slabby moves on fragile rock get you to a two-bolt anchor.

Start in a handcrack then move left under a really large flake into a wide pod.  Move up and right following a finger crack/ramp that leads to a mantle move, then a few face moves to the top.

This is one of the best moderate crack pitches in the area. Climb the fun fist and offwidth crack to a nice flake handcrack and finish at bolts.
