This is a nice long route, but it needs a bit more cleaning.

This is a shady area and there is some lichen on the rock but it doesn't detract from the climbing.

Sustained, devious.  Needs a bit more cleaning.

Second route from right. Difficult to fourth bolt. Second bolt added after first ascent. Route name derives from a line in a Martin Luther King speech on Viet Nam.

Crux in the first 20 feet of route.  Route needs a bit more cleaning.

This route is the leftmost route on the left as you approach the Grotto wall that lies above the Lower Slab.  An awkward and fun route.  The route is clean.

crux is last 15 feet.  Needs more cleaning and will improve with more ascents

This is the rightmost route on the Lower Slab. There is a 20 foot runout on very easy rock to the anchor of The Fierce Urgency of Now.

This route still needs a couple of bolts and an anchor.  The first ascentionist plans to complete it this fall

A good route.  A little more cleaning and this will be a very good route.

Crux is climbing through initial bulge past two bolts.  Clean route.  There is a cool giant cobble part way up the route.

The rock is cobble conglomerate and is the same as El RIto. The area is divided into two sectors, a lower slab and a treed grotto above. The lower slab is cleaned of loose rock while the upper grotto area still needs significant cleaning. The routes are between 40 and 60 feet in length and are fully equipped. Please do not top rope on the anchors.
