Warm Up Crack

Climb short, north-west corner of House boulder.  Trickier than you would think.

Try and climb center line on small hands and feet.

Sit start on a great ledge. Hand/heel match and follow some bigger moves on jugs to the top. Gentle overhang. Got the name due to the log full of hornets nearby. Bailed shortly after the send. 

Start on lower left and traverse up and right on good holds.

On the west face of the House boulder.  Climb up left side.  Pretty easy and a good warm up.

A really fun 15 foot tall near vert slab (like as close to vert as you can get). About 25 yards North of the house boulder with a slightly angled landing, you can't miss it. More technical than powerful so it is hard to rate, but the crimps are pretty small. Start in the middle of the wall pretty much right under the overhanging tree. Find a small two finger crimp/pocket and start with right hand in or around there, and left hand on a crimp about a foot or so to the left. Stand up. Get foot/feet higher and reach for sharp crimps up and to the right. Reposition feet, stand up and reach for a good crimp up and to the right, or a crimpy v thingamabob just to the left of that (be careful because that v thing wants to be broken). Reposition feet and go for the top. Be careful because some of the top out holds are thin and might break easily. This problem is great because from the start, you slowly work your way right and towards the jugs on the arete, but you don't end up using them until the top out when they make for good feet. Also, there could be a good line that starts on the left side of the slab.

On west face of House boulder, climb right side with fun features.  Great warm up.

Start sitting with right hand on undercling/rail and left hand on a solid roundish crimp out to the left. Put feet anywhere below the rail, pull up, and swing/lunge up to a sweet left hand crimp. Reposition feet and bump right hand up rail and/or to good hold above the rail (or any of the ok but not as good holds). Find a good foot and have fun the rest of the way up. 

  This start has probably been done before but I thought that it was a natural and fun way to start. It adds a couple of good moves and some difficulty to a great warm up route, so I thought it deserved to be listed separately. You can sit start the left or right side of the face of the boulder too, but those starts don't add much to the routes. This center one definitely does and it is really the only good way to sit start in the center of the boulder.

Sit start with left hand gaston on large rail, right hand on good crimp.  Stand up with feet out right and then kick in a good right heel hook.  Continue straight up with a series of difficult bumps on small hands.

Climb short slopey bulge on boulder just right of House boulder.  Really fun and the top-out is the crux.

climb Crack with left hand and right hand on arete and face.

Start with booth hands on sloper ledge and heel hook up to mantle and top out straight over middle of pinch side pulls

stand start. Follow sharp crimps to the top. 

You can stand start on good right hand side pull and left hand on arete and move up left side to top. For full value sit start on two lowest right side pulls and move up to right side pull from stand start.

Start on warm up 2 and pull around the arete to gain the slabby crack.

A main attraction right off the trail to the left on the approach. Some warmups and harder problems. The "House Boulder" is the obvious block you first come to. More problems as you head north into the woods.
