Chinese Water Torture

Start with sidepulls, climb straight up arete.

I’ve always passed this line thinking, “this is the most obvious line on Fireplace Rock, why isn’t it popular/on mountain project?” Then I climbed it. 

Holy SAND. I’m convinced that all of the sand in the muscle beach area originated from the horizontal crack on this climb. The theoretical crux is the opening side pulls to get established into the crack, but the actual crux is dealing with all of the sand. 

 Resources online say that the chimney top out is optional, but have you really sent it if you didn’t top out? I’m convinced that this one could gain a star if it saw more traffic, the traverse is pumpy and fun, and the chimney is committing. 

Start low under the roof on the obvious double cling. Cross over to the right on a crimp and reposition feet high to the left. Continue right and match on the big jug to finish out into chin ups.

This is probably the only 5.7 sport route that I know of at Sandrock. Bottom half has a buldge with pockets and positive holds which turns into a slab. Nice climb for the aspiring leader. If the bolts are chopped, just boulder this V0.

start under the roof, just right of reeds eliminate.  pull the lip and walk off.

Start inside the bowl. Move out from the conglomerate that's under into crimpy face moves and top out at the shelf.

Right hand on high undercling, move up the water groove.

First set of rocks at the end of the parking lot. From the other side you can scramble up and get the easiest view of the valley and Lake Weiss. 

  Great bouldering- a little break from the routes and something to do at night.
