Really fun practically every hold is a pinch. Start a few feet right of the tree. Using some fancy footwork climb up the meandering slab. A couple tough moves at 2/3 height gets you to a spicy top out.  Scope the top first and clean more holds!

This may have been climbed before, but we think it may be new because a HUGE tree was pushed over during the Derecho that would have blocked much of this problem.  Either way, climbs better now without the tree!

On the Left side of the Lower Left slabby face, SDS 8' right of the arete on a good right hand jug/pocket located in a crack.  Pull on and float up beautiful slopers and triangle shaped edges to some big slopers/pinch at the lip.  Decipher the complicated mantle and climb the large (V0) friction slab above.  Beautiful fine grain sandstone bulge problem.  Go get on it!

Climb up and right around the right side of the arete along the path of least resistance.

Climb the right arete. Big jug half way leads to balancey but easier second half.  Excellent quality movement on high quality rock.

SDS, with right hand in small pod. Climb straight up, then rock over into groove and climb said groove using holds on either side.  Easier than but similar to Groove Rider at HP40.
