Routes as deep water solo in Clear Creek

Start on the boulder. Look for a jug up and right, then traverse around right on diminishing horizontals. A big move leads to an awkward mantel finish. Steeply overhung above perennially deep water. Áasiv is Karuk for a cave or overhanging rock.

There's been debate about whether some kind of superhuman could climb this. Start at the boulder. Climb up and follow the overhanging dihedral to the top. Looks at least V10 to mere mortals.

Start in the water on the burly undercling and head straight over the bulge and up the face. Good luck. V8 is just a wild guess for a grade.

Traverse in from the right on thin horizontal pockets, then up and left above the overhang. The position of the submerged log changes with every season. As of 2014, it's in the fall zone.

Traverse the base of the slightly overhung wall on good holds over deep water. Climb L to R with some down-climbing, or R to L starting in the water. Go back and forth to build up a serious pump.

Traverse along the top of the south wall on good edges.

Choose one of the many lines straight up the middle of the south side of the slot. Eliminate holds for a fun challenge. A couple of fun dynos can be found in here.

Climb up the groove to the jumping ledge.

Climb the polished groove up the west end of the south wall with careful footwork. Approach via the South Wall Traverse (L to R) if you want to keep your shoes dry for this one. The name is Karuk for clinging to the side of something.

Follow the steepest line straight up and over the bulge. Resist any temptation to traverse around it.

Start on Backflop, then traverse right to the middle of the cave. From here, head straight up and over the bulge to the top. Falls are clean, despite the name.

Start on North Slot Crack, but immediately traverse left across the overhanging face. Ápsuun is Karuk for "snake".

Start up North Slot Crack and traverse left with hand holds just above the higher bulge above Ápsuun Downs.

Climb up the slightly overhanging crack on the north wall of the slot. Use the crack or supplement it with neighboring holds.

Climb straight up over the bulge, starting to the right of the North Slot Crack.

Downstream of the slot, climb up and left along the right edge of the overhanging east-facing wall. Resist topping out until you reach the high point. (Check that the water depth is sufficient before trying this one.)

What a gem! Step into the boiling pit above the lower falls, and swim to the first hold. Find the undercling at the waterline, move up the rail, and then fire up for the jug. Top out on more jugs. This problem comes with a host of objective hazards. The flow must be low, or you will get swept over the falls. The water in the pit is deep, but it may not be uniformly deep, so check first. Certainly, you would not want to fall while topping out. Be careful!

Traverse the base of the wall, L to R, or R to L. Mostly V0, with a short crux in the middle.

Climb up to the narrow ledge from the left, pulling over the bulge.

Climb up to the narrow ledge from the right, traversing across the slabby face. Not overhung, so just jump if you think you're going to fall.

Traverse in low from the R, then head straight up to the flake. Climb its right edge up to its top. One could continue from here, but if you do, be very mindful of the fall zone as you move left as the rock bulges near/below the waterline.
