The Infinity of the Depths of a Man's Mind

By many accounts, the best route at MST.

Start, down low on the left.  Turn the arete to the right and climb the right side of the arete to a steep face.  Awkward side-pulling marks the pumpy crux of the route at mid-height.

Early Afternoon Shade, great for the mind.

Gaining the ledge via a direct route instead of from the left adds a little bit of a spiciness.

TR (because I am a scummy boulderer, Alex loves leading this).

Joyful route and my first introduction to MST climbing.

Squirm! Climb an obvious off-width crack via chicken wings, knee scums and burly squirming. One could classify this climb as “burl-fest” aka a festival of burliness. Crux is probably pulling into the crack for the start and/or the last 10 feet of the crack.

*Could be led if one has the proper rack,   #4-6 at least*

Pumpy face climbing that follows the right-hand of 2 bolted lines.  Starting holds have pulled off rendering the start substantially harder than the original 5.8 rating.

Loose rock abounds on this boulder.  Watch what you pull on.

Fun little crack served with crimps on the side. Recommended highball boulder.

Traverse left on gear protected by bolts and rivets. Finish with free moves over the bulge using a beak as pro (10' of free) Two lower outs required.

No section is terribly difficult and you can scramble up pretty much in any direction. There are "crack" systems you can follow that give you general route direction. Many one move wonder variations exist that can really get your heart pumping. There also is a handful of obscure aid lines on the wall, use caution when clipping fixed gear. Also be cautious of loose blocks EVERYWHERE, watch where you place gear or step. Could use a second round of gardening... no poison oak!

Late Afternoon shade. Kind of a boulder problem, so obviously I like it a lot.

Short route / tall boulder problem. Used to have a couple of lead bolts, which were removed at some point in the late '90s.

Climb the shallow seam till you can bust a free move.

The branch at the bottom of the route which gave it the the name has been chopped by an unknown assailant. Fear no longer for your rear end.

Start at the large crack at the base of the eret. After clipping the first bolt move right onto face. The crux is after the second bolt at a horizontal crack. Stay on route or it's very loose.

Gotta be a slim boy to get into to goods. No beer bellies allowed.

Slightly steeper and looser than "A Whole New Day."  Also more fun.

The left-hand of 2 bolted routes.

One of the better routes at MST.

A powerful, dynamic move off of an obvious pocket leads to a glued-on [correction: glue-reinforced] jug.  Above this, the angle of the overhanging wall relents, but the holds get thinner.

Clipping the bolts is strenuous.  Some people reach left to gain larger holds from which to clip.

This route starts with the same bouldery move as “3’s Company” . A little run out from the first bolt on “3’s” to the first independent bolt on this route, and a fair way from the last bolt to the anchor. Easy ground but don’t fall.

The route begins with the same free moves as Pamela and then traverses left on rivets to the top.

Climb the loose and expanding features till you reach the dirty top and bust of a free move. Then climb another 20' of class 3 to reach the anchor chains. (This is the more challenging part of the climb as you are scrambling on loose boulders and rocks. Recomended to rappel to clean)

Start up a vertical face on small holds till you get a jug and pull up onto the slab to finish.

Old single bolt route or TR. Use boulders to back up the bolt, and wear a helmet.

Start left of the route "Follow Your Bliss" and head up towards the bat stain. Keep left and around the arete to join up with the route  "Three's company ". Both climbs share the same last few bolts and rappel anchors.

Crux down low at the start, move up and left then finish to the anchors up right.

Thin face climbing all the way up, if you chimney up to the second bolt it takes away a lot of the fun climbing. The crux is the final moves to the anchors, very thought provoking.

Overhanging route at the start that kicks to off vertical on loose rock. Old project of Josh Ray and myself that we never finished. All the hangers are missing. Do it Stu

Climb the obvious crack to the right of Pamela

Top rope up the right-center part of the face.  Slightly overhanging.  Marked by long, fun reaches between positive holds.

Really short pumpy moves the entire way up. For being a bolted boulder problem it packs quite a punch. Missing holds might reveal some weird beta on the every changing start.

Can also be led as a bolt ladder. Use cinch hangers on the rivets that make the routes lead bolts look like they would erode to dust.. they just might.
