★ Ivy League
Stand start on good hold + crimps. Make your way up to the thin seam crimps to get to the good ledge above. You can top it out but the climbing is easy, loose and sandy after the good jug so you might as well jump down from the jug. | V7 | ||||||
3 |
Tree Hugger
Stand start on ledges and go directly up, trying not to dab on the tree. Very dirty top out. | V2 | ||||||
4 |
★★ Nothing Static
Stand start on the good ledge as "Maha". Move up through crimps. Match on the big horn jug. Can be done static. | V7 | ||||||

Sit start deep under the roof. Do hard moves and link into "Maha". | V9 | ||||||
