This route has the characteristic of a serial killer.  It took for ever to clean up and it was not giving up easily.  Spitting out Refrigerator Block aiming straight to you.  It is a little sandy at the start, but it is cleaning up.  It is pumpy for the grade and tricky to clip the anchors.   It has a high first bolt but it is easy to get too.  Enjoy the middle no hand rest! Probably the first climb in the Sierra Vista surrounding area that has an FA by a native Sierra Vistan!

The route follows the pronounce crack of the main Pumpkin Patch wall.  The route will test your endurance. It is a very good route that progressively starts to get harder and eases off at the last bolts to the anchor.

It starts 15 feet below the tree with a trickery slab and some side pulls moves ending at the base of the tree.  The route continues right and up from the tree with the crux just below the last bolt.

 It is a good warm up for the area.

Ashy Slashy cuts a jagged line up technical face, through a puzzle of churt, and gets a little bit groovy before the first rest, then slice up and right with balancy moves through churt knobs. Rest again and ascend the final roof where you are 6 feet under the anchor.  

 The first bolt is for shorties, though you may want to consider stick clipping the 2nd bolt.  

The route starts with some balancy moves with side pulls and crimpers to a small ledge at the second bolt.  It continues with some moderate climbing up the last four bolts. The crux is technical and a little pumpy towards the anchors.

This route start on the left side of the cave.  It starts with a bouldery move to a ledge.  Enjoy your rest on the ledge! From here it is a restless journey of crimpers, dynamic and technical moves.  It mellows down towards the end with some 5.10 moves that feels like 5.12d when you get there.

This is a pretty mellow route.  It follows a crack to a bulge.  Go up the bulge and continue to some balancy techy sections.   

This route is very tricky and with the crux at the middle.  The routes got its name for the audience admiring the send from a far...

 The route will be better with a 70 meter rope.  A 60 meter will need to have a knot at the end of the ropes.

Be ready to enter the Pumpkin Patch, if you dare!  This halloween theme wall gets some morning sun and by noon it gets into the shade.  It is currently being developed and it has a handful of routes.  The routes on this area range from 5.7-5.12+.
