| Light Rangers (7a+) | Ok, this one really got me. For me, the first move is the crux. Right after clipping the first bolt I had to do a strange dyno to a two finger pocket while hoping my left foot stays on something I would hardly call a smear - a very low probability move! Then the next crux comes at the 4th bolt. The crux in the book isn't really a crux in comparison to the other sections. |

| Trigger Finger (6c+) | This climb is very intimidating for me. Lots of slab and lots of hard climbing along a thin broken seam. If you check it out on toprope first(by traversing to its anchor from the adjacent 11a), you may not even want to bring gear for the lead. The only runout between second and third bolts gets much easier than the rest of the climbing by the time you want to place gear. This is one of those routes in the gorge where the need for one piece of gear prevents 99% of people from climbing it(not like the total number of people that go up to the north gorge is that many anyways). |

| Hanging Garden (6c+) | Very crunchy at bottom, gets better toward the top. Lots of large ledges to rest on. Ok warmup, less pumpy than the 11as in the area. |

| Wafer Thin Mint (6c+) | Sharp & very abrasive small edges. Sustained, scary but well bolted. |
