  • Grade context: US
  • Ascents: 23

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

12 The Convincer

small boulder problems separated by buckets lead into an incredibly beautiful blue streak peppered with awesome holds. The quality of this pitch was meant to "convince" climbers that the ledge was worthy of more attention.

FA: Marcus Norman, 2004

5.12a Sport 31m, 11
13 The Condenser

Left of the prominent blue streak. Back clean after the chain draw to reduce rope drag.

5.12b Sport 30m
14 Cruising the Milky Way

The right side of the big blue streak. Back clean after the chain draw.

5.12b Sport 30m
15 Sling Thing

Start at the right of the tree ledge. Climb a small, left facing corner before following a faint blue streak into the lightning bolt corner above. Make an airy traverse leftward, crank of the roof and forge up to the anchor.

Set: Randy Colman, 2005

FA: Knut Rokne, 2005

5.11b Sport 26m, 9
16 Skyscraper

Climb Sling Thing to the third bolt. Branch right using hard to find holds to gain security on the flakes. A tricky leftward move leads to a lightning bolt corner. Continue up and left via awesome but sporty terrain.

FA: Marcus Norman, 2005

Set: Randy Colman, 2005

5.11c Sport 28m, 10
17 Obi Juan Kenobi

List as #20 open project in the 2016 guidebook. A cryptic boulder problem into easier climbing before tackling the pumpy headwall.
