  1. 1

    Warmup Face v2 ★★★

    Start standing on a good finger ledge, climb up the easy face. Using pods to gain the sloper top. Moss grows back fast so give it a quick scrub before embarking.

  2. 2

    Blink Twice For No v8 ★★★★

    Start standing matched on a bread loaf sloper. From here climb towards the splitter crack to gain a flat jug on the face. Turn to the face and continue up sculpted edges to a large break. Compose yourself then do the spicy topout finish. Masterful movement.

  3. 3

    Wolverine v9 ★★★

    Starting tightly crouched matched low on a double undercling hueco. Climb out the roof on edges and finger buckets. Gain the break mid way up the boulder and top direct. Starting matched in a sharp hueco system to the left of the dabby block making a long move to a thin finger slot.

    • Professor X v10+ ★★★

      Start matched in the sharp hueco system left of the dabby block, make a long move to a thin finger slot, then use full body tension to gain edges and finish as Wolverine.

    • Sabretooth v8 ★★

      Climb Wolverine out the roof, then finish rightward up the slab face.

  4. 4

    Skeletor v3 ★★★

    Start next to the seemingly loose block. Climb up the featured arete. Good movement and near perfect rock. Loses a star due to proximity to tree.
