The
Guide:
The guide is a working copy to help classify and find problems. Traffic is
very low at the cliff - let’s hope it stays that way. If a problem has been
done it is highlighted in white. Projects or potential projects are in
green.
Many projects have potential for lower starts or longer finishes. All projects
are open. If I have cleaned the route it may have a name only represented by its
acronym. This is for classification purposes. If I have worked on the route
considerably, and I am close to the problem then I may have printed a name, first ascenders
can still name the problem whatever they chose. Variations, eliminates,
and new routes are all around. I find new holds all the time.
Route Descriptions
:
This guide is streamlined to be simple as possible, yet supplying the relevant
information needed to find each problem and then exit safely. Our
abbreviated scheme will only take a few minutes to become a simple and effective
tool. Additional descriptions will be added as needed:
Starting Holds: the difficulty of a problem is determined by all of the
moves. Low starts are common in bouldering and maximize safe climbable rock.
They also add difficulty quite often. There are basically five general starting
positions.
 | BS Butt Start: Hands on @ about 2 foot ass on the
ground. |
 | KS Knee Start: Hands on @ about 3 foot, one knee
on ground and often one foot on the rock. |
 | WS Waist Start: Hands on @ 3-4 foot, usually
bending over, yet remaining at least one foot. |
 | NS Normal Start: Hands on at naturally relaxed
mostly upright position. |
 | JS Jump Start: Hands on rock at the deadpoint of a
leap, feet off ground. |
Exit Descriptions:
 | TO Top out |
 | DC Down climb |
 | TD Traverse to down climb |
 | JD Jump down |
 | SO Step off |
 | TR Top rope route at given grade |
 | SB Self belay on a fixed line (Gri-Gri used with
no spotters or a sore back) |
