| Granite Oak (8b) | This route took a lot of my technical climbing skills to piece together, and a lot of skin was donated to the crag over the last few months. I’m psyched to open it up for people to experience some of most technical climbing in the South Saint Vrain - one of the best kept secrets on The Front Range. |

| Flying Circus (8a+) | A variation to the main line, Granite Oak, that finishes on Temptation Arete and avoids the final traverse back left. A crimpy, technical battle on what is becoming more of a clean and fun route at this point! |

| Bun in the Oven (7b+) | A left-start variation to Temptation Arete. We bolted it when Laura was 4 months pregnant, and she even managed to snag a TR send with the real bun in the oven! Technical layback climbing to a weird little crux just before meeting up with the arete. Hard to grade. It feels easy until it's not. |

| Crawfish (7b+) | Short but fun. Extension should be rebolted. |

| Goldfinger (8a) | 4 star rock climb! Really very nice, but bring your rock climbing technique because this is one is no gimmie. Spicy! |

| Fire On the Mountain (6c+) | Probably would have been a better climb if it were done mixed. |

| Bruise Collector (7a) | Very funky. Felt harder than Temptation Arete... I can see how people might have originally been fooled into thinking this was 12b. |
