---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Sticky | VM |
|
|||||||
Gets climbed frequently as it looks like an easy line but it’s actually more awkward than sharing a elevator with your ex! Climb the crack. Finish either straight up or veer right onto the good scoop/block.
|
||||||||||
2 | Styley | VM |
|
|||||||
A very elegant little pillar. Climb directly up to the scoop using a high step-up and a long reach. The next move is fun too – get a couple of good side-pulls and do a high-step onto the scoop.
|
||||||||||
3 | The Bulge | VM |
|
|||||||
An awkward little climb, this bulge always seems to be a bit short on holds. Climb straight up any way possible.
|
||||||||||
A | The Final Pump | V3 |
|
|||||||
A killer workout. Climb The Bulge, then traverse left with hands just over the lip. Finish up Leap For It.
|
||||||||||
4 | Slopey | V0 |
|
|||||||
Traverse right form the alcove to gain two sloping holds over the bulge. A long reach back will net you a good hold. Now perform a mantel or high step-up.
|
||||||||||
5 | Short Crack | VM |
|
|||||||
Hand jam or layback the crack. Or choose life!
|
||||||||||
6 | The Corner | VE |
|
|||||||
A popular ascent and descent route.
|
||||||||||
7 | Bucket Route | VM |
|
|||||||
A good series of jugs. Alternately, veer diagonally left following a series of sloping edges in the crack.
|
||||||||||
8 | Easy Wall | VE |
|
|||||||
Very pleasant. Start at the left end of a low slab: head straight up, using a pinch in the crack to get over the bulge. Good holds appear just as you need them.
|
||||||||||
9 | Middle Wall | VE |
|
|||||||
Climb the middle of the wall, using a couple of side-pulls near the bottom.
