| Time Slips Away (5c) | A great crack climb. Nice jams with good footholds the entire way. The rock texture is pleasant and the gear is good. Too bad it wasn't longer! |

| Den of Thieves (6a) | A nice warm-up for the crag. Seeps after rain, unfortunately. Physical climbing on big holds with technical footwork. My first outdoor route of 2024! |

| Keel Over (7b) | At Ocean's Wall... Trad climbing to the ledge and then bolted face climbing above. A tough sequence near the top on great, rough stone. Technical for the grade with hard-to-decipher cruxes. A pretty cool spot to go cragging on a late-November day. If you make the effort, chances are you'll have this area all to yourself. |

| Fiddler's Green (6b+) | At Ocean's Wall... Felt dang hard for 11a! A decent pitch of technical face climbing with two distinct cruxes in the upper half. Kinda' sorta' works for a warm-up... |

| Photosynthesis (6c) | Sweet movement up the bolted crack. Could have been a dangerous trad route, an awkward mixed route, or sweet and popular sport route- I chose the latter. |

| Olive Oyl (5b+) | If you make it past the first bolt, you're home free. Again, super slick river-polished rock at the start, which creates a getting-off-the-ground crux. |

| Popeye (6a) | Really fun bouldering through the low roof. Way easier above, but worth doing just to experience the smooth rock moving through the roof. |

| Yellow Something (6b) | The hardest route at the crag, so far... Tricky stemming to an awkward sequence getting into the alcove. Okay, but pretty dirty and a bit chossy. This may improve with time, but for now it's a bit off-putting. |

| Wolverin (6a) | In my opinion, the best route here. Four bolts worth of continuous, smooth-rock climbing to easier face climbing above. Clean and interesting. |

| Kittos Taulula (5b+) | Reminded me of the Water Wall in the Rockies. Super polished rock at the bottom leading to much easier climbing above. |

| Master of Deflection (5c) | The starts of these climbs are quite river polished, which is often where the cruxes lie. |

| Madhuri Din (5b+) | I don't know how this could be 5.9 unless you really forced yourself off the good holds. It logically climbs on the left of the first bolt, which leads to better holds above. |

| Klem Trails (5b) | Slightly harder than Eat Dirt. A good climb - long and interesting on very juggy holds. |

| Solar Panel (7b) | Sweet little line up a clean, sun baked panel with crisp edges. After the overlap it climbs a thin crack in shallow corner. 5 bolts + thin to tips cams |
