Difficult climb with minute, sharp crimps on a slightly overhung wall. The first crux is getting on the wall to the first bolt, which requires some contortion and major balancing skills. The second crux is transitioning from the 8-inch long finger ledge to the finger crack up and to the right (there's a smaller crimp to the left that helps).

 The climb was named after the wild black crystalline structures to the right after the top-out.

Black Quartzite

Froggy Potion

Banana Potion

Totoro

A short overhung sport climb that sits in the shade of a large tree. Awkward stemming on a crimps to the first bolt, then a precarious sloper to the second bolt. Techy finish from the top of the "toes" on the right halfway up.

A series of rock steps to the first bolt 10 feet up, Thin and balance-oriented through the face to the second ledge. More fun face-climbing with minor ledges thrown in the rest of the way to the top.

Mostly easy steps with some slab and smears up good granite with minimal lichen. Crux is the steep section in the middle of the route.

This area was named after the cartoonist and director of incredibly illustrated movies like Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro. This area boasts rock that seem straight out of one of his wild films: a highly intriguing granite outcrop composed of massive, bulbous boulders.

 The area can be divided into several distinct walls.

 The north side of the Miyazaki Formation has one hard climb (so far). The west side has a large number of 30-35 foot crack climbs. The east side has the potential for some amazing overhung sport routes as well as a couple trad routes. The south side is low angle and lacks potential for climbing.

 Totoro (5.6) is on the rock east of the Miyazaki Formation. Poschein Wall is behind a couple trees across a large flat granite slab to the west of the Miyazaki Formation.
