Sit start with your hands match on the jug on the arete. Work up the arete using a crucial heel and a tough move to the lip. If it were taller it would get three stars for sure, super fun moves. 

  Really not sure where to put the grade on this on climb it and let me know! 

  Also the top needs to be cleaned soon. It will be done shortly.

This is a fun overhanging arete that is climbable with a pad or two.

 Sit-start the right arete with a left hand sidepull and a right hand pinch on the arete. Climb up sidepulls and holds on the arete. This problem provides a fun and tricky warm-up for harder climbs in the area.

 If anyone knows or can suggest a name or FA for this climb, don't be afraid to speak up.

If compression is your thing I would highly suggest this short route that packs a punch. The crux of this climbing is the first 5 feet.  

  Start sitting with you right hand on the arete and left on a good sidepull. Slap your right hand up higher on the arete and with fancy foot work move your left hand to the jug at the lip. Then top out using good holds on the arete.

Among the jumble of rocks on the right side of Monsters hides this unlikely, and classic, problem. The problem climbs a beautiful steep face that is streaked with vertical quartz intrusions.  

  Start sitting. Use sidepulls, pinches, and drop knees to power and technique your way up the face. A heroic throw to the lip provides a fitting end to this amazing problem.

Start on a spike jug in the steep roof and power your way up through cryptic moves to a fun top out. This route feels impossible until you get the beta just right. My only hint is a kneepad :) 

  I originally heard this was a v7 but I have worked on it and a few of my friends have sent and we all agree its closer to v6.

A short, steep and powerful compression line with a hard topout. The crux of this problem is avoiding the dab on the rock of which this problem climbs over. There is a lot of body tension involved to avoid the dab. This problem is a surprisingly fun line once you get over the dabbiness,

 Slide down under the overhang with right hand on the arete and the lefthand on a low left sidepull. Pull on and move the right hand up to a crimp edge on the arete before moving the left hand up to another sidepull. Once here stay tight and make a difficult move to the lip. Match and figure out how to get over and onto the slab dab free.

An excellent steep splitter crack! Start low in a fist jam and some foot cams, then pull up into the thinning crack and make your way to the lip. Turn the lip, jump back down and do it again. Pure jamming joy.

This is a hard compression block with some really good movement. Sit start under the boulder with the left hand on the left arete and the right hand on a good sidepull. Pull on and make your way up both of the aretes using a variety of heelhooks and toehooks. Somehow figure out you can move to the textured hold on the face, from here power your way up to the lip before matching and mantling over onto the slab.

Sit start low under the short steep wall with each hand compressing the two aretes. Pull on and make a few hard moves to the lip of the short boulder before a hard mantle onto the slab. This problem provides some powerful compression moves at the grade and a full value topout for a short boulder.

Sit start matched on the horizontal rail. The left hand is good, while the right hand is a bit slopey. Find your feet and deadpoint up to a good edge before hitting the lip and traversing on slopers and eventually jugs in order to top out.

This area has some great classic powerful overhanging climbs. Many of the blocks are square cut and rectangular, such as "New Freezer", "Dab Control", "Certain Frequency" and a hard steep compression project found to the left of "Twisted Sister".
