A short 3 bolt line that starts on the large boulder that separates the Circus Wall. The climb starts on large gym-like fakes and finishes on thin dark rock.  A lot of fun for a shorty.

Tricky start, then head up and right for several clips to reach the arete.  Squeeze your way up this cool feature and wrestle with the last 5 feet.  Hint: stem!!!

Climb huecos up and left to pull onto a ledge stance, then go up and right to the anchor. Short but sweet.

Start to the right on or near a small boulder, move up on hard to find holds to reach the slab and a face.  Merge into Yankee Doodle and figure out the next sequence and then follow a broken crack system to the anchors.

I climb for routes like this! Five stars! Awesome movement on pockets, sidepulls, crimps will make you grin from ear to ear!  A couple of thin moves lead to a sidepull flake near the top.  Get ready to rumble as the holds close down to a few crimps and knobs just before the chains.

Do the tricky Step right this Way start then go left.  As soon as you hit the black streak it gets difficult with multiple 5.12 cruxes and some 5.11 edge crimping for good measure at the top.  Excellent movement with several options for each hard section, make this route tough to onsight.  As cliche as it may sound, the hardest route at the crag is usually the best.  No different here.

This is a short, but powerful route whose grade is mainly derived from the opening moves. Right off the deck you're greeted with an overhanging V4 boulder problem, which leads to a full rest.  Work through a second boulder problem over a buldge (easier than the first) until you reach some moderate low-angle climbing with decent holds that characterizes the remainder of the route.

Clip first bolt standing on boulder.  Boulder problem start, then fun climbing past 5 more  bolts.

Climb up the short vert section on big holds to the base of the roof.  Get the third clipped and launch into a powerful boulder problem culminating in an all out dyno to a good hold.  Run it out to the anchors.  A great thrill!

A nice little route just to the right of The Barnum Route. Start off the big block and move up to a ledge. Undercling and move out through a face and finish on a crack and some crimps.

Short, stout, and pretty fun. Start off a small boulder and pull some easy moves past two bolts until the black bulge is reached. Clip the draw over the bulge and fire the strenuous and reachy crux. Navigate a sea of unobvious and mediocre pockets and dishes on vertical terrain past one more bolt to arrive at the anchor.

Tricky bouldery start up a small bulge to access the gold rock.  Fun movement on great stone!

Fun laybacking, sweet positive holds and powerful movement all the way to the top.
