If you're only going to do one climb off the A0 ledge, this should be the one. Both pitches are super-fun. 

  P1) Traverse straight left off the belay ledge, following a series of bolts just above the lip of the roof. Finish at a small stance and a 2-bolt anchor. Unless you are solid at the grade, I recommend both leader and follower bring Prusiks. A fall could easily leave you hanging in outer space below the roof. (5.10b/c, 30ft.) 

  P2) Climb straight up off the belay. Exciting moves, gobs of exposure, and the occasional route finding crux keep you on your toes all the way to the anchors. (5.10b/c, 60ft.)

Hero Route

Out On a Limb

Caught In the Hen House

Head straight up off of the belay, then cut right to the first bolt and begin angling up toward the short right-facing corner that marks the obvious path of least resistance through the roof. Clip a bolt and hustle through the roof. Above, more pedestrian climbing leads up and to the right to a 2-bolt anchor well below the top of the cliff. 

  When lowering, if you decide to tram back over to the ledge to do another climb, be prepared to do battle with the tree. I assume this is where the name of the route came from.

From the belay bolts, traverse out left and clip the first bolt. Then climb up and past the big horn at the lip of the roof above. Continue to wind your way upward through an interesting series of moves, and then finish upward and slightly to the left through some very fun and exposed jug-hauling to anchors.

This small ledge sits above the big roof in the Adventure Roof area at the left end of the crag, near the SCC property boundary. A few nice sport climbs can be done starting off this ledge. The ledge fits 3-4 people comfortably.
