An amazing left to right traversing crack system that finishes on an exposed knife edge compression arete. One of the most fun 5.9 climbs I've done in Taylor's.

Start with a slightly overhanging face, then up a finger crack to a very interesting exit over a bulge. finish up an easier hand crack.

A beautiful finger crack!  The crux of the route is the wider part a third of the way up.

This is a great route of all mantles that looks a lot easier than it really is.

Climb to the small roof and then up the seam.  The crux is near the top of the route.

Start by mantling the broken ledges to the main wall. Climb up to a horizontal hand jam. From here you can stick the dyno straight up, or go slightly left to slick crimps. Finish by working up the smaller ledges angling up and left.

This inside corner flaring crack can be tricky but is a fun climb.

Tricky little sequence.  The awkward angle of the arete makes you use your brain on how to do it efficiently

This area is not visited often but has a few great routes.  I think many people walk by and never know that there is climbing here.  Warming up on Thrombus and Mickey Mantles and then having some fun on the harder cracks makes for a great afternoon.
