1 19 25 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber

Took an intermediate stance at the ledge after the first traverse. Difficult moves, tricky gear and dubious rock on the first section, but it gets much better higher up.

2 20 20 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber

Money pitch. Staunch steep start followed by a beautiful sustained dihedral crack with a cruxy end.

3 17 20 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber

Another great pitch of old school climbing.

A great route that offers varied and sustained climbing following a beautiful natural line. Don't let the few first meters off the ground on poor rock deter you from the worthy climbing above.

What a cool line. Some very unique moves through the crack system lead to a heady crux that isn’t as outrageous as it looks from the ground. Exit still needs some figuring out — might be possible to go straight up in one big pitch instead of traversing left.

22 ~23 Memoirs of a Belay Bunny Sport 13 Classic
Bruce McD
Super rad route! If you like If Women Were Gods you will dig this one.

Route description: The route has lots of variation. You start under an overhang with a hard move off the ground into a crimpy bad feet crux that feels like it could be 23 to me, albeit short. Then a rest on the ledge (which detracts from the sustain) followed by slab into a super cool series of mini roofs that you need to style through! Everything after the rest is pumpy so I had to dial it a bit.

Make sure you climb it on a dry day.

As a bronkies route this is a classic in my book! The 23 next door is next!
