Technarete

Delicately move up this dirty slab and get ready for a one two crux that's a little harder than it should be for short people. Fun moves continue up the slab with a few spots where ground fall is likely.

Do the first 15 feet of Technarete and then instead of heading left to the arete, head straight up the face pulling from one horizontal to another. Good gear is abundant. About 2/3 of the way up you face a cruxy traverse on crimps followed by a sporty move protected by the route's lone bolt. Finish up on easier terrain.

This is an amazing climb!  Burly is the best way to sum it up.   Although it is a sport route, its a nice blend of trad and sport skills.   Start by climbing up into a pod/offwidth and dogleg left into the overhang.  Throw in kneebar after kneebar as you inch out left toward the 4th bolt.  Turn the lip and head into the dihedral.   Face climb and stem your way through the dihedral to reach the roof.  From here work your way left to pull the overhang for the best rest on the climb.   From here, it's still not over, continue up through a crack system and a dyno to reach the shuts.  Be careful through bolt 4.   A tight belay is necessary to keep you from hitting the ground.   It is recommended to have the belayer tie in for the lower section and then unclip once the climber reaches the dihedral.   This thing is a wrestling match!

No idea where the actual "crux" is on this thing. It's really casual and fun.

Follow 25' Handcrack to ledge. Move Right to Layback flake ancd continue to top. Either move left on slabby face at top or trend right to easier ground.

Makes a good climb out.

This sleepy little route sees surprisingly little action considering its quality and its excellent protection. If you like slabs, then give this one a try! Either lead it or TR after climbing Grafenberg Crack (5.9) or The Diddler (5.10a).

Climb steep slab past bolts and good placements to the crux at mid-height. Puzzle your way up the crux using the small pocket and high crimps then continue to top. One last interesting move puts you pass the final bolt where you move right to the Diddlers anchors.

Climb the thin crack just to the left of a huge tree and get gear where your hands should be going. Continue up the crack or use the slab to the left. From here head up easier terrain to share the anchors with grafenburg crack.

1) hidden from sight, concealed

2) difficult or impossible for one of ordinary

understanding or knowledge to comprehend.

Start near the tree in the center of the face climbing up and slightly left to a horizontal.  Traverse right and work to a stance beneath a shallow left facing corner.  Work up the corner to decent stance below a crack.  Jam the crack to a horizontal.  Figure out how to make the crux reach and pump to the top.

Climb slab to narrow ledge twenty feet up then stay left of arête for forty feet until it is possible to step right onto top slab. Finish on easy ground to anchors.

Start on the right side of the arete. Climb up under a small roof, and then make obvious traverse left and around the corner of the arete.  A few airy moves get you to amazing large holds and easier terrain to the top.  This is a great first 5.10a for those wanting to get into NRG face-trad.
