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. |
