5.8 Crack 

This is a great trad lead. Microcams work well to protect the crux move.

Great place to climb after work. We are just starting out, and the combination crack and face climbs from the toprope anchors are great. The whole slab is like a big playground...

An excellent pitch of 5.6-5.7 crack climbing with a brief 5.8 crux at the top.

A solid clean crack climb.

Mostly 5.6 to 5.7, with a brief 5.8 crux at the top.

My first-ever outside route many years ago... It's short and fun for a beginner. Pretty good first lead and aid practice, too.

It appears to me that this route is the same as the 5.6 C1 route described above. I would go with a 5.6 rating if you turn the roof on the left side. 2 stars only because it is so short. If it were longer it would be a very popular route.

This route is the first route you will pass if you take the walk down to the base of the cliff. It is an obvious hand/finger crack that you can top rope or lead on trad. Great trad lead for beginners.

Small to midsize cams & Stoppers. For TR, some webbing and locking biners.

This climb could be climbed all passive.

Short, but very fun trad lead. Great Aid practice too! Planning on sharpening my aid skills on this route and the nearby cracks in preparation for the Finger of Fate on the Titan in a few weeks... :) :)

Such a fun lead! Every time I get on this I'm surprised at how much fun I have. The crack is super clean and eats up stoppers. Finish with that fun finger lock at the last move!

Definitely agree that this is a good place to bring passive pro.

Some opportunities to place small cams too.

Climbed today! A ton of fun. We felt that "5.8 Crack" was a little boring and preferred calling it "Jasper's Ass Crack". Big fun!

Climbed this today - there's a handsized hold at the very top that is very loose and was detriment to finishing the route as it was before. Had the move left and use something else in order to finish. Be careful on that loose rock, could be quite dangerous for those below.

There is also a second loose rock on the top 1/3 of the pitch. It's about a book-sized chockstone in the main crack, just before the roof. Mostly still solid, but it does shift and will get worse with more use as a hand and foothold.

FYI, the broken hold at the top makes the top out much harder and more difficult to protect. New leaders can escape to the right if necessary.

Gear galore; micros and stoppers. "Book-sized rock" shifted a bit. Top definitely in the 5.8 range.

Foot jams are so consistent you can climb this without your hands. Also not an .8. Would be 3 stars if it was longer.

There is only one 5.8 move on this climb, but it really is fun!
