This is a good beginner's toprope situated east of the more prominent

Butcher Knife

and Greyface routes. Its protection is two bolts on top. It is rated PG-13 because the easiest way to set up the toprope is to climb up the dihedral to the right (see beta photo), which is easy but still unprotected. There may be a trail up either side, but we were short on daylight, so I climbed the dihedral to set up the TR for some beginner climbers.

Greyface Left or The Cave

This is a fun, little route. Climb the roof to the awkward crack for a challenge, or for a little bit of an easier route go right of both the roof and the crack.

This is the route left of the obvious crack. It consists of small crimps and is slightly overhanging.

Climbs the route under the bolts in the middle of Greyface. To make it harder start in the cave to the lower right of the route.

This route is between

Left Hook

and

The Butcherknife Crack

. It consists of small crimpy hold with a crux near the beginning. Using no holds on or in the crack (meaning without the huge corner jug to the left of the crack), start with your right hand in the small, chalky platform crimp, and use your left hand in the awkward pocket.

This route is great.

It makes up for length with class as the climb itself is quite enjoyable. Easy climbing leads to hands with several holds within the crack.

This is an interesting route with a very applicable name. It's located on the same rock as

Butcher Knife Crack

, but it's to the right and around the corner. It's called the Bear Hug because once you're about 3 or 4 moves up you can place your hands on each side of the wall since it's so skinny. All you need to do is slap your hands up and move your feet. To make it harder, don't use the "bear hug" move and only use the features on the face.

This is a chipped route to the right of

BKC

.

It is named The Mantels because of the series of mantels that take you up this route. This wall is slightly overhanging, so getting onto the second mantel is very awkward. Once there, the crux is a reachy move. You can use the two crimpers on the right to get your right foot up to the third mantel, or you can use one of the crimpers one the right and a solid hold to the left.

This route climbs the cool cave to on the climber's left of the Greyface rock. There are two or three ways to work this challenging but fun climb.
