A surprisingly good little intro to roof cracks and inversions. Sit start on handjams way down in the back of the cave. Climb the crack using good jams and perhaps a bit of OW funk. Top out up the easy layback to the left.If anyone knows the original name, let me know.

Just to the right of Vertical Cartography, pull past the roof on small holds to climb straight up face.

LOCATION: On the Barn Area G boulder in the SCC topo. Right of Pebble Beach. 

  Start with two low pinches. Move out right to large crimp. Left hand to sloper. Follow the slopers up while adjusting your feet to top out. 

  Still a mossy boulder so be mindful of your feet, especially on the top out.

Start on crowded chicken heads/jugs and climb up water runnel

  Start matched in hueco with a lieback. Right hand to next hueco. Left hand straight up to small sloper pocket.  Right hand out to larger sloper; match it.  Right hand out to side pull. Compress and stand up to top out.

SDS to the left of the dugout fireplace on good low holds. Move up to two small pockets (should be able to fit two fingers in each, up to crimp rail, out to right jug, then fall forward to pinch good loaf with left hand, then copout.  

  Named for the spider that I was warned of as I almost wrapped my fingers around the jug. Friend thought it was a brown recluse, turned out to be a little daddy-longlegs, and we named him, Phil.

"From obvious sit start to lip and mantle." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Sit start down and right (yes, down there) on eye feature. Climb iron rails and chicken-heads to finish on Pine Straw."

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks 

  Labeled as V-hard in SCC topo. V8+ is just a guess.

"Start on razor crimps and climb straight up to spicy mantel. Moving out right to jug is not the problem."

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Climb pillar using interesting holds and beta to good top out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks 

  I'm assuming you stay left on the pillar, since the holds on the right make this a V1 or V2 at the hardest.

"Start on ball with heel hook. Gain crimp and sloper to move to jug before topping out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

Beta: youtube.com/watch?v=A-E1dVJ…; (start at 2:46)

  It is actually to the left of the arch according to the topo, but stated as right in the description.

start on low jugs, trend right and top out on bulge.

Hidden among a whole field of pleasant, comfortable boulder problems, this claustrophobic romp was never destined for glory. It is, however, sort of entertaining. This would be good mental training for runout desert chimneying. Use a combo of finger locks, hand jams, and OW technique until the crack widens enough to get inside about 10 ft up. Continue squeezing for another 20 ft with lots of assistance from face holds. Skootch out right towards chock stone when the squeeze narrows. Finish with 10 ft of easy but dirty chimneying.If this has been done before and has a name, let me know.

"Climb featured face right of arch to top out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Climb subtle water grooves to sloper." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

Sit start on underclings, make dynamic move to lip. Harder than it looks.

Start on Arc Second holds and traverse right and up. If you're climbing past Vertical Cartography you're doing it wrong. 

Start low on good jug slot flake. Move up and right through broken crimp to slopers and stand up. Full pad crimp used to be smaller but incut. Broke 1/25/2020 to reveal wider flatter bigger crimp.

"Start on obvious right edge and left edge. Gain left razor crimp and distant right side pull. Using trickery and bad feet to gain undercling and flat edge just outside of the cave. Move to lip using bullet hole. A+ mantel out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks 

  Labeled as V-hard in SCC topo. V8+ is just a guess.

overhung start on incut crimp/edge band with high feet. Move to next crimp band up right. Top out around there or so with more holds.

"Start in hole climb to ball feature using obvious holds. Using trickery, gain pinch at lip." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

Start of jug slopers and work up to stand high and finish out the slope. Starts by a short finger crack that forms something of a mono.

"Start on crimp slots and move to your choice of micro crimps. Make long deadpoint to slopey edge. Topout." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Climb bulgy face." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Start at base or fight facing crack climb up trending right to flat jub and mantel out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Start right on good holds. Climb through crimpy face moves to flat mantel." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

Start on crimps, move up through chickenhead jugs, move to crimpy-jug rail, longer move to right side pull, and top out. Can feel sketchy because of the rock directly behind and below you.

Start down low and follow the overhanging arete until the jugs. I think this is often done feet first. 

Jug start, layback water runnel and jugs to top

"Sit start. Move up staying left of Arete. Classic top out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

Sit start climb up short face to mantel." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

"Climb gently overhanging arete."

 -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

 Committing moves to good holds, landing zone is suspect. Would suggest 2-3 pads.

"Start on rough side pull/sloper and peanut. Move to match crescent hold. Make long move to jug rail using iron band and trickery. With high feet gain crimps up and left to top out." 

  -SCC topo, Joe at First Avenue Rocks

This is the first section of the main bouldering area near the barn. There is a wide range of problems and grades with good sandstone and conglomerate.
