One of the 2 "hard" 5.12s in the area. Has 5.10 moves to attain the first bolt. Then hard moves under the roof with an awkward clip of the 3rd bolt to begin the 1st crux. Move up and out of that roof to the smaller roof to set up for the 2nd crux.

Hug Thy Mother

Adam's Way

Disneyland

Fook You AKA Don't Hurt the Rock

Through the Looking Glass

Iron Man

Peewees Big Adventure

Heaven's Gate

Power Monkey

Heaven's Hug

Hard moves over the 1st bolt is the first crux. Then traverse right under the roof to exit on the right side of the Hug Thy Mother route. Possible double knee bar and another crux on thin crimps to the same anchor as Hug

Wow! Lots of pumpy fun on this one!  It's on you pretty much the whole way with some great holds and good rails to rest on (good luck with that).  Crux comes at the top when you're good and pumped!

Doesn't get much traffic. Goes straight up. Hard moves that require reach right off the ground. Then ok hard moves out the roof and finish on Pee wee's 2nd crux.

Old "bandit" route that had a runout has been rehabilitated. New Glue-in added in the triangle roof to protect the move under the roof and the moves out of the roof to the last bolt. Sport Anchors added, as well.

I've always liked this climb, its got some diversity.  Start off with optional campus moves and pull up and stand on the ledge from there move up and a little left.  You get another huge ledge rest before moving out right and over the bulge (so fun!).

Crux is getting to and over the roof, on a hot humid Austin day this is gonna be hard (greasy).  This is kind of a one section wonder as it finishes easy 9/10- climbing to chains...

The crux is the bottom half.  I recommend stick clipping the first bolt, otherwise you might end up flying over the big ledge you started on.  Dyno to good jug in the beginning, work through some pockets and crimps, then finish up on jugs.  Top out is pretty loose so be careful.

The quintessential tweaky Greenbelt route. A 2 bolt V5/6 overhung crimp problem to a good rest followed by some weird vertical climbing. Start on the dusty ledge. Don't even bother to wipe your feet because the next shelf is made of dust too.  The crux is fingery and cryptic. It will test your dedication.

FA'ed BITD with poor protection. Glue-ins and upgraded anchors were installed March 14, 2019. Begin on the first 3 bolts of Heaven's Gate, then clip a new glue-in in the roof. Pull the roof and then climb the headwall ( clipping another new glue-in) to get to the anchors.

This route is a linkup: begin with the first two bolts of Power Monkey (PM) then finish leftward on Tunnel Vision (TV).  This is a higher quality route than PM in my humble opinion, and these days it sees more action than PM.  After the PM crux, I traversed on the jugs just below the third bolt of TV and then clipped said bolt.  There was definite ground fall potential. It appears you could move left earlier to the flat ledge below the second bolt on TV.  A long runner on that bolt would prevent any drag and the safety factor would be improved.  I would say this linkup adds quality without significantly increasing the difficulty of PM.  Try it!

Great climbing at harder grades than anywhere else on the Greenbelt.  Best in late fall to late winter when there's no humidity.  Expect to see people (not necessarily crowds) on the weekends and certain nights of the week but most of the time it's not too crowded.  A bit polished as are most of the routes that see a lot of action on the Greenbelt but it's climbing and there's some good moves and positions as well as power climbs to be done here!
