Sit start, with one hand on each side of the bottom fin. Pull up the middle of the face, shifting to the left arete for the last move and top out mantle.

Warm Me Up Scotty

Straight forward warm up lap option to start your climbing session. Top is approximately 18 feet off the deck. FA done without any protection (no crash pad). Horizontal shelf holds are numerous, positive, and provide several warm up options for practice. Top out mantle can get the heart pumping a bit for those not used to runout.  

Meant to be freed with no pro or spotter. Side-winding nature of the route over uneven terrain precludes protection.  Foothold assurance important.

 Can be done 2 ways.

 1) Start at the base arete and pull left following the beautiful upward left flaring eponymous arc.  Face climb up over left side of ledge and traverse left on upper face approximately 8 feet. Then up and over the next upper left ledge, keeping to the face. Rating: V2

 2) Same start as method 1, except stem off the rear rock and the face of the arc to the first ledge. The remainder of the route remains the same as method 1. Rating: V1

Fun, easy route. Sit start at left flaring splitter. Angle right into the hueco field in the horizontal crimson ribbon. Solid feet on positive ledges and good pockets. Climb through the notch up top as the wall tilts slights past vertical. Mantle on the top out. Excellent warm up route.

Sit start on left flaring splitter. Work up to a left handed 2 finger pocket, and throw to a right handed 2 finger lock. Gain one of the small ledges on the left. Finish with a right handed throw to the horn. High step and mantle finish. Red Gully holds are off.

Western Wall. Start on the Northwest Arete. Then move climber's left to right along the entire Western Wall, and onto the South Face. Start on the crimson rock band - balance with poor hands but great feet on the ledge. At mid-wall-point, transition to good huecos, with feet on small ledges. Work over to the Southwest Arete on slopers and wrap onto the facade of the South Face ledge system. Then finish up to the top of the ledge on the mini-upward-right-flaring-dihedral.

Move laterally across the east face of the Mini-Island, half way up the wall. Initially done climber's right-to-left. Down climb southeast corner arete.
