If you enjoy 5.10 gear lines, this is the route for you. Samsara climbs a steep crack which grows from fingers, thin hands, hands, fists, and finally off-fists. The starting hand crack is protected by a couple bolts, which leads to the crux off-fingers crack in the overhanging wall. The final crux is in the fist sized finish to the anchors. A few key face holds keeps this at the 5.10 level. (barely)

In the Moment climbs a vanished wall with good edges with a crux lieback or reach move mid way.  There are good handholds to clip bolts after each hard move.

Follow a right leaning crack to a ledge and then up ledges with friable ledges to a 2-bolt anchor inches below the summit.

Huecos up to bulge, then some reachy crimps to anchors

Off Balance moves through a bulge lead to nice varnished crimping. Eight Bolts plus anchor

Start in a 15ft right facing dihedral with an obvious fist-wide crack with an unobvious finger crack inches to the right. From the ledge go up another 20ft through a loose conglomerate band. Then go up the 3rd crack through a brown face. Finish on the small left-facing hand crack on the left side of a large flake-type feature. Two bolted anchors are found at the top of the hand crack.

A cool route that makes a nice warm up.   Start in a corner and follow a crack system onto the face.   climb the face to reach a small overhang.   Clip the  bolt and pull the overhang (crux)....and coolest part of the climb.   Be careful of what you grab above the roof, there are several awesome holds that are about to rip out.

A nice slab climb with positive edges.   The occasional white limestone like patina makes some of the moves possible.   Fun moves.  The harder moves are near the bolts.

Pure mind climbs a well protected but heady sandstone slab with small varnished edges. There is no real crux but the climbing is sustained. The anchors are visible from the cliff edge and make for a easy rap into the wall.

Offwidth, offwidth, offwidth, grab your flannel, hightops, fat cams, and get after this stellar inverted roof problem.

climbs a flake that goes up a varnished wall through the crux then through some nice crimpers up to the chains.

Thin moves with difficult footwork climb on nice varnish on lower section. If you are tall you will have an easier time and i will hate you. Short slab leads to fantastic roof that is more fun than difficult. Consistent 10d-ish climbing to the top.

This thing is pretty sweet!   A nice techy arete.  Start on the right side, connects with the left side at about half way, then back up the right side for the finish.  Very nice movement on thin holds.

This climb gives a little bit of everything. Blocky and geometric climbing and a side of friction at the bottom lead to flakes and even a nice hand jam and some finger constrictions later. Some questionable rock, but very well bolted.

nice slab climb through crimps side pulls and edges. crux is about halfway into it.

Climb the slab, stemming off the wall to the right and usng the crack for hands for a few bolts and then move left for the final 2 bolts to the 2-bolt anchor.

Beautiful line. This awesome route climbs over a very powerful and sequential V6-ish roof to some slopey-pinches  on the arete. Then continue up the left side of the arete for much easier and interesting climbing, probably in the 5.11a range. Suggestion: Clip the first bolt by hand from the top of the boulder and stick-clip the second. Clipping the second bolt will likely be too difficult for someone who is challenged at this grade; and the fall from pulling over the bulge and not clipping the 2nd bolt is a grounder onto the boulder below.  In the Goss guidebook, this is rated 5.11d. Not even close.

The initial 20 feet of varnished arete climbing is the main appeal here, with difficulties that start as soon as you leave the ground. Get on the ledge above the arete and cruise the easy face up to the anchors.

To the left of Stinger at the Tail, Huecos to edges through a bulge.

Nice Pockets and edges past seven bolts up face just left of One Hand Clapping.

To the right of a bolted slab and a chossy OW corner, there is a vertical face with a broken seam and a line of bolts. This appears to be an unfinished project, though maybe it has been done.

Devious face of small edges and varnish crimps

Jam obvious fist crack through a small roof.  A little loos in the middle.

AWESOME LONG ROUTE. Begin climbing sweet arete with large (chipped?) pocket near the 2nd bolt. Crimps, jugs, and sloping ledges lead to crux getting to last bolt. Long and good. Prob. no chalk but DO IT !

Sunkist ascends a striking arete at the northern end of the Zen Wall. Belay either from the ground directly below the arete or a two-bolt anchor at the base of the climb.  To reach the base of the climb, scramble past loose boulders on the right side and then traverse back left on large ledge. Clip an anchor bolt and your first lead bolt from a stance, take a deep breath, and launch up the face. This is a well-protected and super rad rock climb. The anchor is equipped with Metolius rap rings.

a very fun climb! its a bolted crack which was bolted because it is to small to protect. really fun though. starts with some nice ledges and a side pull goes up over a hump onto a slab and then a hand free rest up to some technical climbing of crux and good rest and crux and good rest. with the crux's getting harder after every rest clear up until you clip the chains. fun moves up the whole thing with a couple finger jams where the crack widens slightly and one or two nice spots for a foot jam.

Good technical route that begins on top of a boulder. Begin on small incuts through the first 3 bolts to good rest. Climb to top through steep section on cool pockets. DO IT !

The climb starts in a shady alcove. Climb a loose start up to an arete. A juggy varnished wall leads to the anchor.  Some of the plates are hollow so pull lightly. A fun steep moderate...
