This is currently the leftmost bolted line at the crag. It is fun and well-protected. The climbing winds up being boy-ish but is not as difficult as you might suspect.

Pull aboard the slab, and lean back to get the first roof. The move will get you warmed up if this is your first route of the day. Keep finding big, juicy holds until you get to the 2nd roof. Here, using the groove alone is not the only way. The finish is shared with the two routes to the right.

Currently this is the second route from the left. It joins

Geese In Flight

above the roof. This is a bit tricky down low, then a you do a reachy start into the pumpy, roof crux sequence.

The bullet will give you the shakes, but it won't make you a smoothie. This is not to be confused with The magic bullet.

Clip the low bolt to protect the initial moves off the deck climbing up crimps and ledges. A short, slabby section leads to the intimidating roof above. Good footwork and long reaches will get you past the 2 bolts and over the roof. It is easy climbing to the anchors on top.

This is currently the rightmost sport climb at this crag. It lies across a less/undeveloped section of the cliff and ascends a bulbous arete of sorts. The position is good, the rock is

suspect in spots

, and the climbing is different than most of Clear Creek. For that, given the right mind frame, this climb makes more a nice, little adventure.

Pay attention at the start, as this is where the rock is most suspect. We cleaned off a number of rock chunks here, and the holds are a bit dirty. After clipping the 1st bolt, you move slightly left. A bungled 2nd clip could test your belayer's abilities. Well-featured, bulbous rock has you weaving a bit left and right as you stay near the arete. The difficult definitely eases after the 3rd bolt, but the highly featured rock makes one leery of roped flight.

Finally,

belaying off to the side on this one is probably wise

, since the rope knocked off rock while belaying here.

This is certainly an inviting line and a nice find; however, don't let your guard down until the end, since the crux arrives just before the anchors.

Start just left of a bushed crack-like feature on juggy, bulbous holds. Some gear might calm the nerves if this is at your limit. Note, there is a good-sized flake just down and right of the 1st bolt in the crack-like feature. It didn't come out easily when we checked, but don't rely on it without some protection in or the bolt clipped. Continue up on fun holds to the overlap. Shorter climbers may be stretched to pull over. Play on the face to the left until you get the last bolt clipped. Then stay calm to get the last bit figured out on suddenly much smaller holds to get the top.

This is a fun, easier-than-it-looks route (save for the start) that is definitely worth the effort. A stick clip is strongly advised unless you are somewhat tall or toprope it after leading one of the routes to the left.

The crux (to me) comes right off the start as you pull aboard fighting your right hand's feeling of being levered off the flat jug. Falling here without the bolt being clipped would...suck. Once aboard, the rest of the route is probably 5.8...and delightful...

though folks who are short or who like lots of footholds may disagree

. The roof looks intimidating, but it climbs much easier than you fear.

FWIW, you can go right at the roof, but then it'd be hard to clip the bolt before the roof

. Once above the roof, the difficulties evaporate as you smile from your efforts below. The finish is shared with the two routes to the left.

Also, note I've been told that some start this a bit to the left, traversing in, which can keep the start safer and easier. In addition, we TR'ed the right start. It is loose and unprotected but goes ~5.10.

Climb through the fantastically overhanging body length roof on the right side the wall. The top half of the route is much easier climbing  but a little more runout than the bottom.
