5 out of 5 stars First time to Sunken Treasure. 2nd Route climbed.

This route was awesome! Fun face moves at the start to a good rest on a ledge under a bolt. Crux was the juggy roof including a hidden hold and a high foot over a slight bulge. Favorite climb of the day - I would say solid 5.9!

2 out of 5 stars First time to Sunken Treasure

Easy, funky little route. Hiking to the anchor for the top rope was the hardest part. Good warm up and the wife liked it as well. Crux is the couple of moves on the face.

3 out of 5 stars Def the stoutest of the 3 routes

Some small holds in the crack including a 'hidden' reverse hand pinch. Crux is knowing when to go for the crimps on the left side. Big move to the thin crack at the top. Not much chalk on this one.

4 out of 5 stars More fun than Baby Bear and just to the right of it...

Deceiving becuase there is a nice shelf to start on but it doesn't put you in a good position for the next series of holds. This route was in the best shape of the 3. The safety rating is due to the landing area being on the side of a cliff.

3 out of 5 stars Felt more like a highball boulder problem

Doesn't see a lot of action. Weird angle and interesting feet made it worthwhile. Needs some TLC - maybe if they ever open Hound Ears... The safety rating is due to the landing area being on the side of a cliff.

3 out of 5 stars Hard and High first 2 bolts... Belayers pay Attention!

1st bolt is the crux (high). Stick clip or a pad and a good spotter is key. 2nd bolt is tough, gets much easier after that - esp if you work to the right. Finish is actually 2 bolts on the top ledge. You can walk off or set a TR with a little climbing around the back using the ladder to get to Warpin crack.

5 out of 5 stars Climbed it 3 times on TR - then led it with no falls. Yay!

Fun climb until a you get to a tiny crimp (purple) ledge about halfway up. Pull that and then put your foot on it to get to another hard move (quartz crystal thumb crimp) leading to a very long move and hard finish. Delightful! High first bolt - bring a pad. Can be TR'd - I usually anchor to a tree first...

4 out of 5 stars Douglas Excellent Adventure per the Guide Book

2nd lead ever. Fun climb. 1st bolt is kinda high - bring a pad. Some balancey moves up top. There are a second set of shunts to the right of the bolts for more climbing options. Can be TR'd, steep path on the left will take you to the top. Often crowded as is a popular warm up and learning area.

3 out of 5 stars who names these routes...

long moves to jugs until you get to the top. crux is the last move to the top, two crimpers lead to a dyno for the top jug. just dont miss the jug and hit the sloper to the right or its over. the bolts over the lip for the finish look awfully old and rusty...

4 out of 5 stars my second lead ever...

fun little sport climb, a good warmup for me at the dump. crux is the top bolt where there is kind of a series of crimpy ledges. several different ways to climb it, i def led it again and climbed it totally different. enjoyable.
