Thin crimps and poor feet through a smooth bulge. Move left as the landing drops away, and follow better holds to the top.

This eye-catching line begins with a bouldery sequence to get to the hanging groove up high. The groove looks easy but turns out to be delightfully insecure and terrifying. A classic.

Climb interesting jugs to a long dyno near the top.

This climb is named after my ex-wife.  It's a little dirty but has a couple nice moves.

Pull off the ground statically, traverse the sloping rail to its end, then make a big move for the lip.  Classic.

A deceptively easy-looking problem on great rock.  Sit start on slopers and glide past enticing crack features to the top.

Great rock but too short to be a classic.  Sit start and climb perfect patina knobs just right of the tree.

Fingertip and heel hook traverse along the steep right-angling crack. Either top out at the break in the middle, or go all the way right. Both finishes are great.

The righthand arete is also worthy. Stand start on a jug and pinch the overhanging arete till you can make a big move to the lip. Maybe v5 or so.

Climb the center of the black wall past horizontals, aiming for nice patina edges up high.  There's a reachy move between good edges near the top.

Darth Croofer is a character my son invented when he was three years old.  He is a lesser-known relative of D. Vader.

A short fingertip crack through a steep panel of immaculate rock.

This is a great problem.  Start on good holds and climb an improbable sequence more or less straight up.  There's a tricky sequence midway and a thin move near the top.

This classic problem is named after my son.  Doden was one of his first verbalizations as a baby.

Variation (v0) - Move left around the arete and climb the slab above the tree.  Both have bad landings.

This is a vertical face problem on beautiful caramel-colored rock.  The rock quality is primo.

Big moves on excellent rock.  Super fun.
