A massive dyno to a slopey grey inclusion followed by a slabby top-out. According to legend John Long stuck it on his second try.

Speed of Light Dyno

Robin Hood SDS

5.10 Traverse

Corner Problem

5.11 Low Traverse

Robin Hood

This SDS adds about four moves to Robin Hood and provides the full package experience. This sit-start is shared with the lower traverse. Start seated and lieback the crack before moving through the underclings and slopers into the main sequence of Robin Hood.

Start with the jugs that mark the beginning of the Speed of Light Dyno and work your way right on the traversing rails. This route utilizes any available holds on the face, although the upper rail is considered the best for many of the moves.  Once the rails end, reach around the boulder's arete to a short slanted crack and transition onto the corner problem to the top of the boulder. A great enduro warmup.

Be careful on the corner problem as injuries have occurred here due to the ledge at the bottom of the boulder.

This route starts on the jugs at the end of the traverses and works its way up the corner of the boulder to top out next to the tree up high. This is also the finish to the traverse problems. At least one injury has occurred from a fall high on this problem due to the ledge down low. Be careful.

This is the more difficult low traverse starting with an SDS at the crack below the Speed of Light dyno. Pull the starting lieback into the fat undercling before launching right onto the rails. This traverse avoids the boulder's toe as well as the upper rail until the very end where its final holds can be used to reach around the corner of the boulder into the crack of the corner problem. Finish up the corner problem to the top of the bloc.

Robin Hood is a classic tall face problem just to the right of the Speed of Light dyno. Starting with holds at head height, work up to the obvious side pull in the middle of the upper face. Keep your head and make the delicate slab moves to top out up and left. Add the SDS for a little more length and endurance.
