Technical wall near the left prow. Protect low V5 boulder problem to side pull, then use pinches and dynamic, matching crimps to pass the crux above bolt 4. And finally into better pockets.

A long line with many challenging pieces to put together. Hard crimping and technical footwork low is the first crux. Make sure your belayer gives you a soft catch, as a hard catch here would smash you into the roof. Above, pocket haul on ever-steepening terrain before a final crux involving long pulls and small holds that require cold and dry conditions. Amazing position on a really cool feature. West facing, gets morning shade. Typical evening Fossil Hill sessions don't work for this guy.

Pull long moves on sharp, distant, but interesting holds until a few jugs at the 4th bolt.  Once the wall steepens, the black streak yields some fun moves on buckets and an exciting runout that is uncharacteristic of usual lander climbing.  Beginning is really just OK, but the top is phenomenal.

Tremors little brother. A flashable .12c espcially if 2nd route warm up is Channel Zero, draws are swapped over while brushing. Consider stick clipping bolt 1. Expect an early crux and another crux at bolt 4.

Start 15' left of Kettle Logic. Interesting crux in the middle to steep jugs in upper portion.

Sweet, little, orange colored wall, 50m west of Fossil Logic, in nice shady forest. The Wall has a small overhang to start, then decent pockets to a shallow mono crux, right hand single ? Then an easier overhang at the chains. Easy tick for the grade ?

Good holds up a ramp to a left-facing corner and small bulge.

Shares start with If By Whiskey then moves left and up.

Hard boulder moves through second bolt. Small roof then cruising on easier pockets.

Start with thin moves off the ground on two finger pockets to better holds above the second bolt. Cruise up good holds for several bolts to some tricky moves on less than ideal rock right before the anchor. Would be a better climb if the rock was better up high.

Fun, big holds on a southwest facing ramp.  Pulls a small bulge at the top.

A hard bouldery start leads to thin vertical edge and pocket pulling on beautiful clean rock. A couple big moves on good holds guard the finish up the juggy and gently overhanging  headwall.

Climb up to a steeper bulge with interesting slot pockets

Thin climbing in lower half can be disorienting. Nice short steep juggy finish.

Start up small crimps to begin the slab (crux) and pull onto much better pockets at around the 3rd bolt. The rock quality deteriorates considerably on the second half of the climb. I would not recommend this one, especially compared to other 5.10's like "Two Ducks and an Angel" and "Transitions".

Climb the easy but steepening lieback crack, exiting to the right once jugs appear in the steep wave.  pull fun moves through a short bulge.
