An easy start takes you to a no-hands stance beneath the orange headwall. Launch up the wall into sustained overhanging moves and a techy vertical crux. A chicken bolt added in 2015 has eased the somewhat spicy crux moves, although the new bolt is a bit strenuous to clip and can be skipped. The fall is clean, but don't push hard away from the wall with a bunch of slack out, as the tree lurks below.

Fairly casual climbing leads to the hueco shared with Crown of Thorns. Sustained crimping reaches a peak near the chains.

A tough boulder problem low followed by a few no-hands rests and a phenomenal redpoint crux on the golden upper headwall.

fun climbing to interesting boulder problem near the anchors

new route slightly dirty rock, bunches of fun

Cool bouldery climbing up a nice orange streak followed by a lichen crossing and then more cool bouldery climbing up a vertical black streak.

Easy start leads to bouldery steep moves out the headwall and a stout crimpy crux on the vertical face above.

Three cruxes separated by big jugs. The top crux is a classic heartbreaker with awesome moves.

Bouldery climbing below and left of a big hueco leads to a no-hands rest. Find hidden holds above the hueco and launch out left, cool and sustained moves up the headwall are followed by a "quintessentially-RRG" match in a hand-sized hueco. An endurance crux guards the anchor.

Short route with one hard move that is very height dependent. Lots of fun!

Bouldery crux down low followed by stellar jug hauling and a redpoint crux high on the wildly overhanging wall. Best not to enter the big hueco up high but rather hand-heel traverse along the edge, as the rock inside is sandy choss. The route is pretty much in the bag at that point anyway.

More hard bouldery pumpy climbing, with radical crux moves on the orange and black headwall up top.

Hard start on painful rock to easier climbing.

Nice route with a heinous crux section midway up.

Physical chimney to a cruxy thin lieback to more physical chimneying. Take a spider wand in summer... hence the name. Best to clean this one on toprope and rap from the anchor.

A very dirty start on sandy holds leads to a slightly better headwall featuring fingery, technical moves.

Gently make your way up 25 feet of crumbly, fragile rock to the base of a slightly overhanging wall.  Stepping off the ledge you encounter the crux on thin pockets and crimps.  Better holds but bigger pulls lead to the anchors.

Not a terrible route but not worth doing unless you have exhausted other options and don't mind some choss at the start.

Short and rather chossy climb with a small roof in the middle.
