Start low on chunky sloping holds with feet on the skirt. Climb sloping rails to the lip. Small creases and divots on the lip make for a top-out only slightly more secure than the average Kelly Canyon friction-sloper top out.

Start low on a good pinch. Climb up sloping rails to the lip and top out.

Start on two pockets 4-5 feet up. Two more sloping pockets earn you the lip. A nice ridge feature further back on the lip makes the top out less precarious than many climbs at Kelly Canyon.

Start low; grab some good jugs and reach up to a chunky side-pull. Get a high foot and reach through to a horizontal rail (same rail as Warm-Up Arete). Grab the lip and mantel to top out.

Start on the chunky jug on the left facing blunt arete. Move out and right to a good crimp jug using the arete for the left hand as needed. Continue up using decent holds to reach a horizontal rail (same rail as The Ringer). Top out by pulling left around the arete or going up and right over the lip. Stay right of the arete for a slightly harder but more satisfying finish.

Start between two trees on good, slightly sloping rails. Move up and right to a sloping jug, then left to a nice side-pull. A pocket above the side-pull gains access to the bulging lip and a good right hand edge. Find another good left hand edge further up the lip and top out.

Start on jug rail, climb past a nice pocket out right to reach opposing side-pulls on the bulge. Reach up and left to a cool tear-drop pinch, grab the sloping lip, and top out.

Start on a pinch feature about five feet up. Two or three moves earn you the lip. Two pinch features on the lip make the top out more secure than some.

This is the sweet crack across the way and upcanyon from the warm up wall.  Slightly sandy layback moves up to the top of the cliff.  Very stimulating.

A wall of sweeping gashes with roughly a dozen problems all in a row. No names or grades to speak of really, just follow the weaknesses, nothing here is harder than V6. Lots of high cruxes and slippery, slopey mantel topouts keep it exciting.
