A rarity for our granite; steep with holds! Climbs more like a limestone route. This line combats the center of the wall, beginning in a right facing dihedral. A midway crux will get the pump going. Then climb fast as the wall steepens to get through the crimper crux high up on the route. Still possible to blow it before rounding on to the vertical/easier terrain to the anchor.

The Riparian

Southern Maiden

Less steep and more fingery than The Riparian but just as good! Easier climbing will take you up a few bolts to a no hands shelf. Then cast off into the unrelenting crimper clutching for  several bolts. Has a couple of long reaches but flows so well. Jugs to the anchor.

A steep sport wall with a backcountry feel. Nestled next to Iron Creek, this wall gets shade until mid-afternoon.
