Perhaps one of the top 3 traverses on Avery Drive. We nicknamed this problem 'Thanks for the pump' for its natural ability to give you a flash pump if you aren't careful. Some of the coolest moves and holds.This traverse is 20 moves one way and a pumpy 40 move lap! A fairly new traverse so the holds are sharp and grippy. The Crux is a thin section with micro edges for foot holds.

This traverse is a V3 one way, V5 lap. The Crux is right in the middle of the traverse when you have to pull a sloper crimp (the cyclops eye) 

Start at the two horizontal crimps above your head, move up the crimps, use jug and dirty but good ledge to top out or match at the block and jump down.

Start on matched crimps below the corner overhang. Climb the arete using both sides. Climb up to the last good ledge turn the corner to top out or down climb the face to get in a bit more climbing and keep your shoes clean.

The Puzzle is made up of a whole wall of horizontal holds. Though it may look easy, this traverse will surprise you. Most of the holds are slopers and the feet are pretty thin. A lap of this traverse brings a V5. 

A classic and quality Arete problem. It does have anchors at the top but have been there for some time. I saw a group using them in August 2019 but give them a check yourself for your own peace of mind. This can be bouldered out and it's real spicy.

Super quality for the grade. Starts on a flat edge and small side pull. Slab your way up and slightly left through a series of pockets and edges to a spicy top out! The movement on this one is just amazing. A must do if you are visiting the park especially with 'Short but Stout' right behind it. 

Climbs the obvious Arete on the warm up buttress. Starts on the left side on eye level flat edges and goes to the right up the arete. Fun moves on this one with a great top out.
