Tumbling Dice was originally R-rated, but with modern gear and some know-how, this route isn't too bad. The gear is a little finicky down low, so be solid at the grade.

Climb a beautiful splitter that lends itself to good laybacking for 20' to a juggy horizontal. Get a solid piece in, then commit to some face move up and left towards a big, right-facing corner. Climb tight hands in the corner to a big stance, then make some delicate moves past big, questional flakes, trending right to a bolted anchor.

High Roller

Natural Wonder

Speaking in Tongues

Shady and nails hard, High Roller is a proud summer testpiece. Unrelenting hard moves for the first 4 bolts lead to a slabby stance rest or a sneaky kneebar. Don't rush that rest, because the next 30' are vicious. Make big moves or utilize crimps to get into finger splitter with a tough exit. Catch another rest before the last few big moves to the anchor. Stellar.

This has a beautiful section of fingers in a corner to a small roof. The crux is turning the roof on bad feet.

Climb thin hands in a corner to a ledge, grab a slightly sketchy jug, and clip a high bolt. Climb delicate 5.10 moves passing a bolt and some small gear to a nice stance with bomber gear in a horizontal. Gather your wits, clip another reachy bolt, and commit to a mega-undercling and then into some cryptic, crux moves. This is a tough onsight.

Take care clipping the 4th bolt off the juggy sidepull, as it's pretty hollow but kind of your only option. Mellower climbing above the last bolt leads to an anchor.
