Routes in California

The proudest and most obvious line on the classic Grandpa Peabody boulder.

Exact location unknown, please move to the right area if you know where it is.

Direct start version into "Jumbo Love".

First ascent by Paul Robinson, who initially graded it 8C+ (V16), and later downgraded it. In 2010, together with The game, this was considered to be one of the world's most challenging boulders. Second ascent by Daniel Woods, who confirmed the 8C (V15) grade.

A direct variant of "Direction".

One of the first V14s in the US. V9 for the stand start headwall. Interview. Sam. Stefano & Jimmy.

As Traversi dputs it: “Empath is slightly overhanging, about 65 feet tall and it’s difficult all the way from the bottom to the anchors. It’s a power endurance test piece with very few resting positions. The minimal shake spots are on bad liebacks with smears for feet. The route revolves around squeezing this refrigerator-like feature from bottom to top. There are only two down-pulling holds on the entire route. One of the uniquely difficult aspects of the climb is that your left hand is always on the ‘good’ holds and your right hand is always on bad holds. Your left arm gets completely smoked, because there are few opportunities to rest it.”

Sit start of Dominator.

Connects Don't Worry, Be Snappy into the Impossible Wall. The obvious link from 'Nat's Traverse' (yet to be completed) will be a super-hard mega-classic.

Climb past the first 3 bolts of 'Burnt Offering I'[233129391], then follow the bolt line right to the 2-bolt top anchor shared with 'Burn Victim'[233131503].

Start on the prow on the North-west side of the boulder.

The crimpy line to the left of Scenic Cruise. VERY CRIMPY!!

A fingertips crack. Small bumps for feet, ultra-technical movement and finicky gear (the largest piece is a ¾” TCU).

New titanium glue-in anchor below the roof section allows a shorter 5.11a free variation. The full route has not yet been freed.

One of the hardest cracks in the world.

Sit start on ledge then up and left into Excalibur.

As for Hate Handles, but take the early exit via a huge throw.

Start on The Ramp and reverse Nat's Traverse.

One of the most famous highballs on the planet
