Description Start up left of the first bolt on a relatively smooth, black-colored section of rock, using good feet, an undercling pocket, and a reachy move or two. Continue straight up past the first bolt on good edges for both hands and feet. After the third bolt is a slightly trickier section, but good holds are available. Finally, trend a bit right to the anchors (for the full value, climb over the little bulge directly below the anchors rather than going around the bulge on the left).
Location Starts up a prominent black area of rock; the middle of the three bolted routes.
Protection 5 bolts, double-ring anchors.

| Um...how did you say that again? The easiest line on the wall. mellow climbing to the top with a big ledge in the middle. |

| C'mon, where's your Google-Fu? I was looking for a name related to tides and thought all the y's made for an interesting-looking word; the buzzing, Dr. Seuss-like pronunciation is a bonus. |

| Worthwhile route. Rather straightforward, fun climbing on good edges. Sweet rock and some really cool holds. |

| Fun easy wall. I think someone has the ratings backwords for this and the one to the left. This felt more like the 5.7 and Aqeous felt like a 5.8 at least. Good ledges, positive holds and a small bat cave towards the top. |

| Fun climb, huge jugs. There's a cool hold in the upper section that looks like it's about to break off, but it's bomber. |

| Got on this one again the other day and it was better than I remember it being. Really enjoyable, cruiser climbing on great rock and big jugs. Fun! Changing it from two stars to three stars... |

| Really fun route. Its easy, but you get some fun moves all the way up. Good holds all the way up, but sometimes you have to look for a second. The feet are solid, so the looking isn't scary at all. |

| It's a good taste of vertical (or close to it) with enormous holds and interesting rock. I'll come back for another go on it. |

| Really fun route with a tricky start. Good rest on a big ledge in the middle before a strong finish. I had a beginning lead climber set this one after I put in the first clip. The route is well protected. Although some of the bolts may seem drawn out, that is just because of the ease of the climbing. |
