| Sign (6b+) | Bouldery route that I would push to the 6c category but the book shows 6b+. Cross move is the crux from the upside-down chip plate with a thicker right side if you are a large climber worried about breaking the hold. If you have good reach like me you can skip the cross by throwing or reaching left hand out then putting left foot out and stabilizing with a drop knee. The rest of the climb is basically a walk to the anchor. |

| Jellyfish (6a+) | The large structure has a jug on top of it if you reach far across it. Crux is a pinchy move to a jug you can skip by doing a small dyno though you waste energy doing so. |

| You Can See a Stalagmite (5c) | Fun route, reasonably straight forward until anchor. Here you will have an anchor to the left and right, go right instead of left to protect your rope. |

| Pen Pen Grass (5c) | Fun Route with a couple slopers at the start, there is a huge crack up high near the last clip before anchor. Be careful here as their is a loose boulder inside and grabbing it can mess you up. |

| Kim's Singing (5b+) | Smooth limestone, reach around the face and you'll find jugs to get past third clip |

| Alligator (6c) | This route is by far the hardest 11A I ever sent. V4/V5 bouldery move at teh beginning. used to be a super sandbag 10D! What is wrong with Japan's Okutama Region grading? Could be a Red Rocks 12A for sure. |
