This is a fun, little problem in the lobby of Mathias Hall. Walk in from the south entrance, and the route can be seen straight ahead.

Start with both hands in the crack closest to the water fountain. Some safety precautions may be necessary (such as moving trashcans and fake trees that decorate the lobby). Without moving trashcans, this route easily bumps to V7, and the danger increases to possible death. Additional concerns are the RA on duty. Choose your time of ascent wisely.

The first ascent: Dane and Soren.

Ye Shall Know

This is an adventure route. I don't really know where it goes..., but I hear from a reliable source that it goes. "It was a pretty fun and approachable route".

Fishbowl Traverse is best done at noon with a large crowd.

This is best done at night, don't use chalk. Eet eez über classique.

Get from the far window ledge out the door without touching the floor. The crux is the start to the first handrails. The swing around the shower wall is siiick.

Everything on the walls is on, but DON'T be a dingus and break things that can't take your weight, like the towel hook, shower curtain rod, paper towel dispenser, or toilet seat. PLEASE respect the building.

On the backside of Palmer Hall by the HVAC unit, go up the window pillar, and dyno to the window ledge.

Sit start on the right corner by a drain with a right hand crimp on the bulge on the third block from the base and your left hand on a sloper bulge one block down on the left side of the corner. Move up and left on a jug-crimp and high, right sidepull (right side of the corner) to gain an incut jug. Use crappy crimps and solid feet to traverse left, and stem onto the far left corner. With better feet, either pop to the window lip or inch up on okay holds.

Downclimb (if no pad) by stemming the corner.

Start low with your left hand on the left edge of the lower window and your right hand on a solid crimp. Slap up the left corner, and gain a high right hand jug. The crux move is laybacking the top corner of the lower window with a high left foot to bypass a blank section and get a bad crimp. Make a quick left hand pop to the windowsill, and top out to see the prize waiting at the top.

Get on the entry canopy and levitate up on ledges. By the time you are done, you will be one with the math department.

What a beautiful line! Follow the flared corner leading up to the entrance doors to the Sports Center. It climbs less as a dihedral and more as a technical face. Top out, and enjoy the leisurely descent. There is more potential development on the rest of the wall to the climber's right.

This route is pretty even. Use the pipe and windowsills to work your way up. The crux is topping out.

Facing the Slocum deck from the back, climb the third pillar from the left. This is done as a V3 using the corner blocks... it is considerably harder going up the "face" crimps. At the top, dyno to the deck's edge.

This is on the site of a historic bolt war. Don't climb this route, but if you do, cumbre o muerte!!!

Start to the right of the green drain on mid body-height crimps or the right arete. Make a move to a okay right hand crimp, and shuffle your feet higher to then reach a bad, intermediary, left hand crimp-sloper. Make a long reach to the lip on good feet.

Ye Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Set You Free.

Don't land on the railing.... Honestly, don't fall. The cool kids campus the traverse.
