Step onto the wall for a couple of easy moves to the first bolt. Hit the pocket in the back of the first roof, and then pull a tough boulder problem past two bolts and two roofs. Knowing a proper sequence is definitely advantageous, but that's for you to figure out. Once you've pulled the roof, finish on 10/15 feet of easy but dirty slab to anchors. 

  All in all, this route comes down to 5/6 stopper moves. Similar to most routes in the Grotto, this route is short and sweet - certainly worthwhile.

The crack in the big flake behind mudwall. Start to the left of the bottom of the crack then traverse right on a horizontal crack to get established behind the flake. Once inside shuffle and chimney your way to the top. if you climb it please let me know what you think about the grade I'm not familiar with that kind of climbing so I'm not sure if it is accurate.

Traverse to the roof from the left or right. Continue with fingerlocking and hand jams. About half way out you can sink a good fist jam. Tape up on this one.

A hard bouldery move gets you to an arching seam.

Climb on right side of conglomerated crack.

Thin technical face climbing first two bolts up to small roof. Big move ghaston to a juggy flake out right for straight up direct will give it a harder grade.

Steep face climbing with cross shaped looking crack.

Start just right of the arete. Pull two small roofs. There is an obvious weakness to the right at the last bolt below the anchors. The direct line should prove to be worthy. Fun route, too bad it is short.

Ridiculously crimpy slab climbing. Looks and feels like climbing a flat wall.

Crank on some shallow pockets to a nice rest, then enter the crux involving some gnarly crack slots. Pull through this sequence to the last bolt and do one or two more decently hard/tricky moves utilizing the multitude of holds available to gain clip jug.

Start on a dirty 5.10 slab/corner which is sometimes wet. Gain a ledge after the second bolt where you can stand/sit. From here, about 6 easy moves on jugs lead you directly into a very hard move off of a terrible and sharp left hand gaston. This move alone is probably a single move V9. Once stuck, clip the next bolt, and without rest launch into another powerful v7 sequence involving a huge span to a diagonal crimp rail/sidepull. An easy match and a fun dyno to a jug means you have sent! 2 more bolts of 5.10 to the anchors. 

 This route deserves more traffic. Every draw in the hard section can be pre hung with a stick clip by standing on the boulder across from the route. I recommend a long sling on the 2nd to last bolt. 

Shady area. Mostly 5.11's thru 5.13's   Usually don't have to wait in line on any of these .
