Techy, reachy moves on smeary feet lead up to the roof. Pull around the roof and head up and right into a closed corner. Finesse your way through the dihedral. The last bolt leads you onto the arête, continue to the lower-off anchor.

The newest Raspberry Wall testpiece! Start in the small right facing dihedral and work your way into the left-facing shallow corner. Interesting liebacking and stemming (5.11+) will bring you to a good rest about half way up the route - from here, move right around the arete into the crux. Work your way up the seam and arete using technical (!) footwork, compression and liebacking until the seam peters out and you can step right (balancy!) to reach a new seam. Climb this seam to the top of the route and lower off. 70m rope required!

Be nice to your belayer - back-clean the first draw once you've clipped the second bolt.

Luke and I spotted this line in summer 2019 and found out that Tai Devore had already put an anchor on top of it a while back - thanks to Tai for graciously allowing us to use his anchor to suss and bolt both this route and Rubus Cube. The original line he had envisioned would have climbed the first half of Rubus Cube into the top of Nadine - while this proved unclimbable, once we messed around for a while we realized that there were two awesome independent lines there.

The grade reflects the fact that neither Luke nor I had previously climbed anything harder than 13b, and both agree that this rig is harder than anything else we've climbed. Excited to see what future ascentionists think!

To date (7-1-09) the leftmost route on the Raspberry Wall (don't expect that to last though...).  A four-crux sport route w/ some personality, Skynet employs tricky mantles, friction and technical stemming to thwart it's suitors.  All bolts are easily clipped from good stances, but be ready to rockclimb in between them!

Climb up and right in an obtuse corner to gain a thin horizontal crack and the prominent undercling crack.  Undercling rightwards, joining Funky Monkey at the 5th bolt.  Be careful of the rope getting caught in the undercling.

Pulls the blocky looking roof features in the middle of the Raspberry Wall.  A unique lip encounter followed by tiered roofs leads to laybacking and slab climbing above.  Go left at the top.  Diverse, unique, and fun.

Start up a short layback to a bulge.  Carefully surmount the bulge and head up the low angle face on flakes to a mantle and stance at the base of a blank slab.  Sketchy slab climbing leads up to an undercling and the giant roof flake/crack/jug thing.  Climb out the roof to a horizontal crack on the lip.  Make a strenuous clip to protect the traverse left.  Head up a small corner/arete and easier face to anchors.
