Ground Zero

This steep, abandoned project is situated 6 feet right of Straight Outta Compton. It was bolted more than a decade ago but never redpointed. Climb the obtuse corner with delicate footwork and explosive moves past six bolts to a rest (13b). Then, monkey past four more bolts on the horizontal finish to Animal Attack.

Go up and left for 5 bolts. Then directly left through 2 large huecos, then left to the Straight Outta Compton anchors.

Climb Hasta La Manana and continue 5 more bolts through a very steep right angling groove.

Climb up 5 bolts, skipping the 6th at the underlcing slot. Go left on a slick face, clipping one bolt and linking into the 8th bolt of Closing Down. Finish Closing Down.

Climb Legend and finish all the way through Facile.

This is an awesome route with pockets and tough moves, as well as a building pump.

Trend up and right through a series of hard moves with strenuous rests in between.

The crux is only a handful of feet before the anchors - a deadpoint to a split-finger set of pockets.

Climb a slab for 20ft to reach the 1st bolt. Climb on up to the base of a dihedral.

Start the same as the Unknown 5.11c. At the 5th bolt, angle up and right along the steep slab to a ledge. up above the Compton Cave.

Start on Closing Down. At the 6th bolt, move right and slightly up 10ft along a slick face to a bolt slightly above an undercling slot. Continue past the bolt to the anchors.

Climb up the slab onto the ledge and continue up the shallow left facing dihedral. Shares anchors with other routes that ascend the slab further to the left (Soul Slab area).

"Climb very steep rock up and left into a left facing, smooth dihedral. Climb up to a large hole. Continue straight up after the last bolt to another hole, slightly down and left of the anchors" R0xanna Brock-McDade

Start on Legend and finish on Hasta Mañana.

This cave boasts some of the most classic (and difficult) sport lines at the Hood, and in the USA. Shade can always be found in the recesses of the cave, or under the nearby pine trees. Most of the hardest routes are found on the left wall, where you will encounter six 5.14s!! The hardest being Hasta La Vista, weighing in at 5.14b/c, and first redpointed by Christ Sharma. It is mainly through the efforts of Tony Yaniro that the harder routes here were equipped. He worked hard on some of his projects that others finally redpointed.  

  One route not to miss is the classic Straight Outta Compton a sustained 5.12d jug haul and the original route in the cave.
