Oppositional Defiance Disorder
Follows double cracks on a 30-degree overhanging wall. "The crux involves a compression boulder problem slapping up 30-degree overhanging twin cracks between slopey side pulls, where you just have to punch it and can't stop to place gear," Kamitses says. |

★★ Gob Hoblin
The approach trail reaches the crag at the base of a 3m or so high triangular block at the base of the crag. This climb starts up the crack forming the right side of the block, then continues up the left-angling crack past a stump about 2/3s of the way and finishes at a tree that usually has slings & rings for a rappel/lower-off anchor. |
5.8
Pet Cemetary
Start either at a left leaning crack or in a chimney slot formed by a right facing corner and a low roof on the right. Chimney start was easier to me. Follow the left leaning crack until it disappears then straight up to another crack leading to an (awkward for me) alcove. Follow a diagonal crack across the block face (crux for me) to join the end of Cujo. Tree at the top with a fixed anchor (same anchor for Cujo) |

This is the generally best protected route up the slab, though still with significant run-outs, but generally on easy terrain. Start at the left-facing corner at the most-trampled section at the base of the slab.

The following three routes climb Bob's Knob, a steep buttress of rock in the upper right section of the slab. They face the road, and are reached from the gravel ledge to the right on P4 of "Regular Route" or from "Bob's Knob Standard" which traverses the ledge as part of P4. |
