Downspout is a great "mind over matter" problem for beginners. A warning, this problem is named for the fact that if it's rained in the last month, this section is moist or worse.

Sherrin Rocks

Itsy-Bitsy Slider

2-D Projector

This is the hardest thing you can do in the scooped out section of The Gutter. The only thing you can consider crux-y is the second to last move, getting over to the left or right to top out.

This is a fun boulder problem along the left side of Pine Rock. There are a couple of ways to start, but you move up and right to top out. There is a more direct line going straight up from the start that's probably V2/V2+, but I haven't sent it yet, so I'm not going to add it here.

Sherrin Rocks is the first climb I've done here that feels like a "real" boulder. Heel hooks, a slight overhang, and a funky start make this problem on of the best I've found in the Urban Wild.

This climb can get easier if you go to the right (a pretty hard Class 4 scramble I'm calling "3-D Projector") or left (walking up the low angle slab gets you to some jugs), but  committing to going straight up that flat section is very rewarding.

The left side of Pine Rock slopes gently uphill, providing opportunity for some shorter toproped climbs and boulder problems.
