Flared slot up to cupped jam.  Lunge to jug at left.

Start right of Bob is Back in broken corner to v-slot.  Good below, broken and loose above.

Flare crack (fingers to fists) in beautiful basalt.  Crux off the ground and then again topping out.  Several nice stances.  

  1962 Movie "Lonely are the Brave,".  The film brought together two disparate strands of the American left: the screenplay was by Dalton Trumbo, one of the greatest blacklisted writers in Hollywood (Sparticus), while the screenplay itself was based on one of Edward Abbey's anarchist/deep ecology masterpieces, "The Brave Cowboy." 

 

Finger crack to short roof at right of White Riot amphitheater. 

Start at left of White Riot Amphitheater and climb up to finger crack under V slot.  Decent protection to small mantle.  Some blocks suspect.  Easier climbing to anchor.

Prairie Rattler seen climbing down a crack in the wall.

 

Starts below bulge with solid in cut holds.  Bouldery Crux sustained passing first and second bolts.  Follow shallow corner to mantle on large ledge.  Lower from ring anchor to left on Sternotomy.

Hard flaring finger jamming and trying to clip the third bolt makes up the crux.  

  "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.--TEDDY ROOSEVELT

Right facing corner to hand crack. Crux moving past second bolt.

Start under cracked white panel and climb nice holds to roof crack.  Crux moves through flared finger crack over roof to nice stance.  Every move interesting in this short/stout test.   Classic, for Upper Tier. 

  "If you're after getting the honey -    Then you don't go killing all the bees   - it's what the people are saying   - there ain't no berries on the trees"                       Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros 

Thin crack set back in last alcove of solid rock.  Black patina meets lighter rock.  Above the recess is white.  Sweet alabaster goodness...a cave like limestone but likely 'caliche' covered basalt.  Starts in nice short fingers to solid undercling and finishes in short flared crack on right.  Solid pro until the exit. Loose rim.

Further North along upper tier you come to a set back cove of climbs.  The left side climbs start up on a low bench.  The right side is Southeast facing and steeper, short routes.
