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.

bulletBS     Butt Start: Hands on @ about 2 foot ass on the ground.
bulletKS     Knee Start: Hands on @ about 3 foot, one knee on ground and often one foot on the rock.
bulletWS     Waist Start: Hands on @ 3-4 foot, usually bending over, yet remaining at least one foot.
bulletNS     Normal Start: Hands on at naturally relaxed mostly upright position.
bulletJS     Jump Start: Hands on rock at the deadpoint of a leap, feet off ground.
