The best route I've climbed at Darby.  Doesn't look like much, but the climbing is excellent. Positive holds up steep rock characterize this climb.

A big pocket low gets you to the first bolt. Continue up on thin holds to the chains.

Follow the flake or crack or whatever you call it. Crux is right at the beginning, do a bit of smearing until you can get a good foot. Can be a little wet and mossy, especially in the cracks, so watch out for that Solid holds, fun beginner route.

Cool route.  Bouldery (and a little loose) off the ground.  The roof is easier than it looks.  Then up the engaging slab above.  Lots of sidepulls keep it interesting up top.

Difficult start and finish on steep terrain.

Move up and right to rest on a big flake, then left along the bolt line to chains.

Thuggy, fun climbing - different and more powerful than the slab climbs near by.   Crux is off the ground and clipping the first bolt.   The second bolt is oddly placed, and requires an extra move left to clip.  After that, straight up to big holds, and then left to the third bolt.  Continue straight up big holds and past another both to the anchor.

Awkward start. Pull to a crimp to the right of the first bolt, clip it, and continue on slabby interesting terrain to the top. Some very cool holds throughout that push you left!

Enjoyable climbing with an undercling crux.

Up and over three distinct bulges to the chains. Sustained.

Technical, slabby crux to gain a small pocket.  More slabbing above.  Fun.

Starts on a section of steep red rock and positive holds to a huge jug where the rock turns back to grey. Stay right of the first few bolts. Easier climbing to the anchors.

The large, north facing, fallen, bedding plain, dolomite boulder in the South Fork of Daby Canyon on the caves trail is the Druid Stone. There are 3 very high ball, top ropes and 1 proj on it.

The warm up is the right edge, 5.11-.

Just left is the Right Route 5.13c/V9 R *** and just left of center is Left Route; 5.13aR ****.

Ty's project starts on Right and climbs to Left finish: 5 14 type.

Very limited number of burns available for the finger tips on the epitome of small holds on an overhanging flat wall.

Move up a corner feature and past two distinct cruxes, early and late. Moving right at bolt four helps. Continue up and left onto a steeper wall to the chains.

Awesome rock, but short. At a great hold clip the first bolt and then mantle up onto a small ledge before heading up and left to the chains.

**Couldn't find any FA info in guidebooks about this one, but it's nice.

Thin crux off the ground to clip the first bolt.  Interesting climbing above.

Slab and chert featured to start then bigger holds to the top. Wanders back and forth of the bolt line.

Hard crux off the ground getting to first bolt.  A little slabby at the 3rd bolt.  Easy above that.  So-so route.
