The mega classic far left watercourse. Start on compression holds on the right side of the gap and move up compression/arete/slab to the hueco. Either bail or go for the 5.12c extension ending on 5.3 or so climbing. Sounds like a variation or eliminate but it actually isn’t. The name make it sounds like a variation but you start to the

Sit start below the the V3 start. Quite difficult.

Another sit start that’s around v5 starts on the sidepull crimp on the other wall. From here do the crux of the Indian Rock Traverse in reverse and finish up Embryonic Journey.

do the bubble until you get to the flake line move to the bubble with your right hand and make a left exit with a committing pop off to slopers our left and high.

Pull a cool mantle move to the slab on the left of thepicture.Using the Watercourse wall on the right is definatelycheating.The top section of this slab can be a little unnerving, asthe slab as a whole is quite greasy.

Start at the center (same location as "Overhung Roof") and use the nice jugs to get about 5ft up. Traverse to the left on good hands and okay feet, and reach around to the other side of the arete for a slabby finish.

Climb up and right from the flake traverse. You'll see asmall hole about 2 feet up from the right side of the flake,and then a large jug looking thing 12 or so feet off theground. Hitting the jug is the crux, but you're still notdone yet! Hold on and find some feet as you use less thanideal holds to pull yourself over the edge.Be careful if you decide to fall, as the landing area issoft, but sometimes a little small for this climb. Logs,trees, and the first couple of feet of the rock itself areall potential hazards.A v6 variation called the bubble bypass exists skipping the bubble and going big for the incut.

Start to the left of Embryonic Journey on Th either rock. Go up and climb the somewhat obvious rail.

For a v7+ variation start on the sloper jug on the other wall and follow the rail. Basically a sit start.

As you head down the stairs along the north side of Indian Rock to the Pit, there is a slab on your left. Balance up the faint set of holds in the middle of the slab without using your hands. Don't fall. Harder versions have been done to the left and the right, as well as traversing back and forth, all no-hands.

Named Steps Left, Center and Right in the Thornburg Bay Area Rocks Guide.

This route ascends the large flake just to the right of the overhung wall (V0). This is located around the corner to the right from the main chimney, near the log benches.

Start on up the lower-right side of the flake, and head up and left until the flake ends. Head left off the flake with a reachy move to a large crimp on the right side of the overhung wall.  The crux is moving over to the overhung wall sidepull near the top.

Another variation involves matching the crimp before moving your legs over.

This climbs the right side of the overhung wall, starting upthe large outcropping.  From the block, use the large flaketo help you up, using decent but not great feet.

Start As for The Edge climb up to the rail and do a weird mantle to get onto the slab. Make some odd sketchy moves on fun brick like holds that aren’t the way you want them to be.

This climb is also the same direct variation for embryonic journey.

Same start as Center Overhang, working up and left to the obvious jug halfway up.  From there, make a HUGE move to a great jug at the top.

Start right of the watercourse area, just right of the crack that starts vertically up the rock. Climb along Transportation crack the whole way, using it as a left foot as necessary about halfway up the rock. Don't put your hands OR arms on the rock AT ALL; you can use your hips and chest against the rock to steady yourself. Tough about 3 ft off the ground, and then once more near the top (where it gets kinda scary). A great way to wake yourself up, and get your balance together.

Go onto the flake then do a long move out to the pinch/crimp on the flake traverse.  Once you do that go for the jug on the bubble skipping the pocket

A one move dyno deal on the staircase side of the rock in front of the fallen log.  Basically, you dyno up the entire overhang area from the large flake located at sit start level.

Stand start on huge jug rail (same as Pegboard) and climb up and left around arête onto slab topout.

This route ascends the lower overhung roof to the left of the chimney in the main bouldering area. It is located about 15 feet left of the main chimney.  Begin the climb by starting up the face just on the left side of the roof, and then pull your way up the main section of the overhang. The top of the rock is off until you get to the basketball- like jug to the middle-right of the roof.

There is a prominent sidepull about 10 feet off the ground, and the crux is getting a hand pulling from this sidepull to the basketball jug on the top.

Be careful not to hit the lower section of the rock if you bail in the crux, as this slabby first five feet twisted my ankle on one attempt of this route.

Tons of eliminates in the section, this is only the easiest one. To find this climb, go into the main bouldering section on the rock.  Wander over to the most set-in section of the rock by the chimney. This climb works the Watercourse area, which is the vertical wall directly right of the chimney. A prominent oval can be seen about 10 feet off the ground on the left section of this rock.

For the simple route, start on the crack system to the right about 10 feet of the chimney. Work your way up a flake - like section to the oval.

Crux is all hands.

To get off the route, you can work your way around to the left, you can continue up to the top of the rock via some simple (5.3 or so) climbing, or you can just jump off.

This is many people's first free solo or highball climb. The route begins with a pin scared crack and follows big features up the wall.

Stand start on the same good horizontal flake as white men can jump.  Follow the obvious good edges up the slightly overhanging face.  finish on the good horn at the top.  Pretty straight forward but all in all pretty rewarding.

Climb the WIDE very featured crack just to the right of thewatercourse area.  This is also an excellent downclimb forother routes in the overhang area, and the right side of thewatercourse area.

climbing this route with no hands is called the No HandsRoute (v2),

Ascending the simplest way up the roof on the right side of the main climbing area to a mantle finish, or a simple traverse to the left once the large holds above the roof are grabbed.  There are many popular variations with increasing difficulty, many of which I hope will be added to the site.

Going over the roof is a little scary the first time, especially for a beginner outdoor boulderer.  The holds are there, but you must feel around on the many chalked surfaces of this section to find them.

To find this climb go to the main chimney and head right around the corner.  Located in front of the large wooden log benches, you will usually find someone or someones working on some variation in this section. Another good landmark is a large diagonal flake located 6 to 9 feet above the ground (and the traverse that goes at V4) which is just to the right of this route.
