Its a shame the crack on this route is only long enough for a few jams. Still worth a lap just to check it out.

Legend has it, The Mundercling is so good it actually deposits money into your bank account. If you miss it on the way up, youll probably need to climb the whole route again. This climb is easily distinguished by a line of 4 bolts directly left of a linear feature (not really a crack).

The alternate start to Astroknot starts around the corner to the left from the bolt line. Start up twin cracks above a small overhang and continue to the second bolt of Astroknot. Either join up with the bolts here, or clip the one bolt with a runner and continue up the wider crack to the left. At the top of the wide crack, gain a ledge and step right to the Astroknot chains.

Begin by scrambling up a ledge and clipping the first bolt in shallow dihedral. Navigate a series of crimps and jugs past two more bolts and a large block. Battle the pump straight past the fourth bolt for the real deal or traverse right to knock the grade down and save your forearms. Fun roof moves and surprisingly pumpy for its length!

A fun juggy flake leads to a ledge and a bolt. Climb above this bolt to the next larger ledge and make moves past two bolts to gain a big rail. A #2 will fit 	nicely in a crack above the third bolt.

This is the crack just to the right of the Wallulove roof. Clip the first bolt of Wallulove and then continue up and right through the crack, finishing at the anchor of Kolkulator to the right.

I've hesitated to post this, and intentionally excluded it from the topos due to a large detached block on the ledge above the initial lay-back. Due to proximity of the road and the steepness of the hillside, I opted to not get rid of the block or put up an anchor. Given that the area has seen more traffic and renewed development, I figured I'd post it as a place marker and to warn folks who might venture up thinking it was an adjacent route.

This route does have some fun laybacking, hence the name. When I did the FA I walked off, however you could finish on the anchor for Taqueria dreams by traversing left.

Loess starts on an obvious horizontal rail and uses opposing edges and the 	arête to gain the buldge. I used a whacky arm-bar the first time I climbed this and thought it was definitely 5.11. Kevin hopped on the top rope, figured out the beta in about three seconds, downgraded the climb and said I was a wimp.  Make someone buy you a beer if you can find the arm-bar!

The right of the two bolts lines on the face. Climb fun jugs to bulge at 2nd bolt. Pull the bulge and cruise your way to the anchor.

A thinner and harder crack is found just to the right of The Taq. Delicate balance and good technique are required. After the crack, continue through the upper section of Taqueria Dreams.

Stem, lock and press to get things started. From the rest, move to find a hidden jug and continue past a couple sloping edges to the top. Lovin is a definite candidate for best hard trad climb at The Loo.

Climb broken terrain to a fun jam and crux move around a corner. This is the Left of the two lines on the face.

Start atop a flat rock with left hand in the seam and right in a shallow pocket. Youre at the crux. Fire three moves and youre done. Fun TR project if you just did Feelin 22.

Easy and enjoyable climbing through several bolts to a right facing corner. Head left at the top to avoid the choss and locate the anchor

Good edges lead to the 2nd bolt. The crux lies between  the 3rd and 4th bolts where the holds all seem to be tilted in the wrong directions.

Youll quickly encounter the crux on this climb. The rest of the route lets you celebrate pulling the first few moves.  Start left and move right through the bulge. If the going gets too tough, lower from the second bolt and start right of the arête in the corner. Named for the shape seen when looking at the arete directly from the trail.

Ever wondered what its like to be inside a barreling wave? Now you know! You might as well clip the gound bolt while youre at it. The enjoyable traverse after the second bolt makes up for the awkward moves out of "the tube."

A slightly easier two bolt variation known as "The Jetty starts right and allows you to bypass getting pitted to connect to the route higher up.

Twin, thin cracks lead up a shallow dihedral right of Soulacoaster. Interesting finger locks, stems and crimps make for an enjoyable route.

This route is dreamy. Climb a technical slab with great pro to a bolt below the 	roof. The style completely switches here and pulls between jugs becomes the method. The best part of this route? A full, hands-free bat hang can be done by slotting your toes into a jug rail on the left side of the roof. Try it on TR just for fun!

Wonder through very mellow, blocky climbing up and right to the anchor. Your grandmother will be delighted!

Black bolts lead up blocky, fractured line. Mellow, enjoyable climbing that requires some route finding skills.

Pleasant finger locks and smears. Transition right when crack turns to dirt and continue past two bolts.

A great place to learn how to place. No seriously, bring your entire rack, it will take everything.

Start in a twin crack system that leads to ledge. Atop the ledge make an airy step right to gain a crack. The obvious gear and good jams make this route a favorite of the few who climb here.

Starts on an in-cut crimp right of "Granola in my Chacos" and climbs past several finger locks to a jam and a two bolt section above.

Rhonda was originally from Alabama and spent several years working at the Whitman dining halls. Her made-to-order omelet was absolutely legendary on campus, becoming know simply as "The Rhondomlette" somewhere along the way.

Enjoyable holds lead to a thought provoking ledge move at the top. The jury is still out on whether to start left or right, so youll have to decide for yourself.

Utilize a juggy side pull feature to pull past two bolts and over the bulge. The rest is a cruise.

Climbs a small dihedral to a feature that resembles a ships prow at the top of the route. Good holds and a couple hand jams lead to the crux at last bolt.  Worth climbing for the jams alone.  A variation can be done by starting 	on the crack to the right and clipping the third bolt of the route.

A few fun finger locks and a hand jam can be found. Start low and right for a few more feet of climbing.

Climbs a ledge then north facing wall past 5 bolts utilizing a series of interesting holds. Use this climb to set up a TR on Taqueria Dreams if you dont have trad gear.

Climb a crack to a bit of a roof/bulge with a bolt. Watch out for loose rocks/blocks on this route.

Starting just right of R. Kelly, (where the trail meets the cliff) climb through a series of triangular holds and pockets to a small roof. Continue through the roof and arete to the anchor above.

Fun fact: R. Kelly's autobiography is called "Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me"

Fun stems to clip first bolt and a cool sidepull at the third bolt. Great fun if you do it a few times in a row.

Starts on an obvious fist shaped feature on right side of arête. Choose your adventure to get to the third bolt. From here, navigate a series edges as the angle kicks back and leave some juice in the 	tank for the moves to clip the chains. Pull-up monsters will love this route.

Start by surmounting a head high block to gain the first bolt. Climb low angle 	bulges past bolts to the anchor. An alternative start takes the crack in a corner around to the left and connects at second bolt.

The odyssey to be the first man on mars begins by climbing past the first bolt to enter your ship. From your comfy space chair (atop the detached pillar) 	clip the second bolt, ponder last minute beta and begin the countdown to launch. Look out for the sneaky martian crimps that threaten to stymie your journey.

Start on a left facing in-cut rail in the middle of a blank face. The beta on this one is about as crazy as R. Kelly in bed. Dont worry though, its well bolted so there shouldent be any pee involved. If you climb all three routes that share this anchor three times in a row, it's called Going Platinum and might clock in around 5.12 if it weren't the most contrived thing ever.

This new route went down like a Bud Light on a warm spring afternoon... Its name is also a real lyric from a country song...

From the beer garden belay ledge, stem and sidepull your way past the first two bolts. Solve a minor puzzle to gain the ledge and make use of the hands free rest to daydream about romance... between you and your truck of course. The next three bolts climb overhanging jugs up the left side of the butterfly formation, culminating in a moment where it's possible to  be clipping off of a hand jam and a knee bar at the same time.

It could have been the nostalgia trip or the tall boy, but I'm pretty sure this route is as good as any 10 on the lower cliff.
