Description:
Four unique short cracks from 5.8-5.11a. Great practice for 10a jamming and thin finger work. All routes can be sent off of one set of bolts, but you may swing a little coming off the far left or far right routes, clean swing though.

Good for laps
Walking up to the bolts is not a stroll. Short section of 4th-5th class to get there. Nice cracks to do routes on though.

all fun
Did all these climbs on TR (only way to do it really). All really fun and great practice for trusting hand jams, overhanging jams, finger lie back. Although on the finger lieback I couldn't reach the first real hold so had to cheat up to it. (i'm short) Great spot to get some laps in.
