The USO Show has very fun, steep, positive 5.10 climbing with a distinct crux at the top. The first few bolts are a little close due to some less-than-inspiring holds. After B3, it looks like all the great holds disappear, but keep climbing the bolt line, and you will continue to find fantastic holds and solid feet for literally every move up to the rest at B6 before the crux.

This route is probably a tricky onsight for some but if you try it twice you will find all the holds.

Big Chicken Dinner

Duck Dinner

Bamboo Telegraph

17th Parallel

Bamboo Telegraph is a short, 6 bolt boulder line on the REMF Wall (around the corner from the main wall).

Stickclip the first bolt, and cruise up some fun climbing to the 3rd bolt. After clipping the 3rd, flip the switch, and pinch your way through the boulder problem. A tough clip awaits, or cruise past it utilizing the undercling to the jug out right. Shake for a sec, and romp up the fun 5.11 finish to the chains.

There is a cool stance and exposure on this one. I wish it were longer!

Big Chicken Dinner is a fun route with a few strenuous moves off the deck to a good rest ledge then a longer section of thin but positive moves to the top.

Duck Dinner is a fun route with a thoughtful crux above the 3rd bolt.

Follow the bolt line for the best experience. After clipping B1, commit to the fun balance moves up the overlap, then do a fun romp up the face to a crux at the anchors.

Alternately, you can climb the scrappy dihedral to climber's left of the line, and traverse out to clip the bolts. It is about 5.8 no stars if you go that way.

17th Parallel is a well welcomed warm-up for the harder lines. Although short, this route has fun movement. Start on a boulder on a unique band of crystals, match on a small crimp, and aim for a crystal pocket out right. From here, make moderate moves on big holds to a rest at 3/4 height. One more committing high step move deposits you at the chains. This route is still cleaning up, so mind your belayer.
