An extremely unique climb that traverses a large horizontal split in the boulder. Sit start in the crack out right and traverse it left on  good holds. Go around the corner and start climbing the overhang via good crimps and possibly a kneebar. Continue the leftward movement and press/ stem into the angle change and stay close to the wall. Make more moves in this position until you can reach up right hand to a hold below the lip. Stand up and match. Make a hard topout high off the deck over a not so great landing. 

  Jake and I were working this line trying to top out direct above the overhang, but the natural flow of the traverse sends you into the horizontal stemming sequence. The Line going up from the overhang seems like it will go, and will involves some hard compression moves off of a good undercling and the arete/ lip. 

  This line needs a lot of cleaning still, but it is definitely really unique and a fun problem. There is also some great potential for a hard slab climb going up from the start of this line.

Stand stand on a jug located on the arete. Pull on and make moves up on good holds. Keep climbing up on good holds until you come to a holdless topout.

Sit or squat start with a sweet left-hand blocky pinch and a right-hand press on a large low flat shelf. Pull on and dyno up the shelf. Match hands before busting out right to the arete and figuring out how to reach up to the lip. Fun moves on unique holds. A bit contrived, after matching the shelf, because the jug shelf continues out left to an easy topout.

Start on right side of the face on two flakes. One of them is sideways. One foot on a rail the other pushing on a good foot out right. Make a move left to a sharp sideways flake and match.  

  Then go up to two more crimps, Use some foot work and get situated for a move to a sloping rail and then the crux going to a sharp crimp jug, which is better if you can get your fingers behind it and full crimp it. 

  From here get your feet up and make a few more moves to the top using crimps and slopers on the lip. You can only go one way on the top out, a hole where the boulder covering the caves ends, throw a left heel on a good rail and mantle up.

Sit start with boths hands matched on a large sloping smiley-face-like rail on the overhang. Pull onto the wall with a decent foot and make a hard move out right to a similarly sized and textured hold. Figure out how to match, then unwind out right to the arete and punch for the jug slot over the lip.Once on a series of horizontal cracks, mantle on to the tall slab and head direct up the clean rock. The climb goes through a shelf and roof feature at the top of the slab. The slab is intimidating but not super hard. Might be worth rehearsing on a rope, but the slab is likely V0-1. 

Sit start on a group of rad crimps. Pull on and bust a few technical moves up to a few slopey crimps and a few sharp ones. A few more moves gain a small left-hand hold and a cruxy move up right hand to a sidepull. Keep the tension and continue up to a sloper pinch on the lip. Bust out to a better hold and get on top!

 This problem is one of the most technical and most difficult problems in the park. It climbs up a perfect 40-degree overhang and has a sick set of crimp moves that can rarely be set in the gym!

A very cool looking over hang problem that is worth seeking out. Start matched down low on good incuts and move right toward more good holds. Make a big committing move toward a right hand side pull. Snag this and really crank down on it and move left hand to the seam on the lip. Continue right to good but perhaps dirty holds in the seams of the crack and top it out. 

  Avoiding the block down low for feet is really how I wanted to climb this originally but its very hard to ignore, so I used it for feet making this climb much easier than I expected...

The finest of Clough thus far. This Mega classic lies above the large cave near Mammoth Rock. 

  Sit start way down inside the lair. There is a large flake right of a boulder inside the cave. Match hands and right heel hook. Pull on and make a few cool moves rightwards on good holds and slopers. Reach a good sidepull on the giant shelf and grab the next shelf. Match and make some hard moves pulling around the bulge using a crystal sloper pinch and a left hand undercling. 

  Snatch the lip and top out rightwards.

Sit start with a right hand pinch on the textured overhanging arete, and a good but small horizontal crimp for the left. Smack up the arete, then come in to a flake for the left hand. Punch for a jug, then continue up to improving holds to the lip of the boulder. Once the lip is encountered, all holds run out entirely.A trusting high step and palm smears gains the exposed slab of the boulder. From here, head up and left or out right. This climb is essentially a lower start into "Boom Sauce".Down climb is a bit funk. One can easily walk around left 20 yards then come down the other side by the 5-0 block, or a shorter down climb but more sketchy can be done out right after the top out. Traverse the hill to a series or roots and jugs in the corner and down climb the often wet corner. This down climb puts the climber 10 yards from the climb

Secluded, some bad landings and some good ones, but awesome projects and sweet lines! Bring friends and a stretcher!
