Another classic...a tricky start leads to pumpy plate pulling pleasure...Yeah!

The furthest left sport route on this section of wall, move left to a nice arete and balance your way to the chains on delicate feet.

Go up to a ledge, pull the roof and continue up on a wide dirty crack to a tree. Be creative to protect on this section. Once you reach the tree traverse left to the chains on Tall Cool One.

Overhanging slot requiring some slithering, squeezing, and squealing. Bring big gear.

This climb is a classic "must-do" for the area...technical/pumpy climbing featuring pockets, jugs, and sidepulls with a steep finish.  Enjoy!

Fun route with good holds, just like the other three at Tectonic.  Pull through a big flake followed by a crack to a ledge.  Climb your way to some massive KY plates after that to the easily clippable anchors.

Interesting and hard to read moves off the ground with undercut feet to the right make for some bouldery moves to the rest at the ledge above. Pick your way around the damp and sandy holds and ledge before busting into the crux face moves and to a left-trending rail/dihedral. Cop a couple of great, smooth hand jams and enjoy easier terrain for two more bolts to the top.

Finesse your way past the first bolt on rounded holds to reach longer moves on big holds, then take on the dyno or use sharp crimps and crank to the jug. Run to the anchors

Easy start leads to ultra technical / ridiculously large moves. There's a lot of chalk going out left at the third bolt going to four. It looks as though the route boomerangs around left then up right back to the bolt. Or, go direct with giant moves or tiny intermediates. Either way, try to have fun!

Note: The medallion at the base of the route says "Boom-Slang 5.11c.) It feels more like 5.12c!

Figure out how to reach the flake and follow it up and right to a roof.

Wide vertical crack/flake with lots of laybacking, stemming, and chimney moves.

Stem across or wiggle up the off-width to a ledge. Protected by three bolts. Then work up a wide chimney to the ring anchors.

Also possible to head up a "Tall Cool One", traverse 8 feet left to the top anchors, and set-up a TR.
