Description 

This area has a few really fun routes. 100ft of of solid rock (plenty of gear placement options that are sound) with face climbing, a fun roof, corner routes and a few jams here and there and a really fun offwidth to roof start option called Cal's Ceiling 5.7+. You'll find a nice mix of features in this area. Great cruising to moderate difficulty level routes.

Most of the routes start at the big ledge about 20ft up (can't miss it once there). You can mix and match routes (starter route to ledge links to start of another route) easily.

There are options for anchors on top including slinging natural features.


Getting There 

This is the 3rd prominent formation to the right starting from Jim's Throne. Jim's, Pillar 2 then Calvin's Slabs.

This is a start option. There are several including a bouldery start (on the face of the flake feature on the ground) and an offwidth to a roof. Easier face starts and this corner crack are nice ways to gain the ledge where more options exist for your imagination to link up routes.
