Hand Banana is a very steep fist crack. Start under the roof, work your way out this strenous, fist crack. The crux comes after pulling the lip, as this is very deceiving.

This excellent and varied climb has a little bit of everything: hands, fingers, face, and even a fist!

Start at the bottom of a narrow corridor. The crux comes early. See the photos on this page for more beta on its location.

This is an absolutely beautiful splitter on perfect granite.  It starts out fists and goes quickly into offwidth, and it's on a slightly overhanging wall.  Probably a bit of a sandbag, but a good one to do if you want an introduction into the harder stuff because it has everything from stacks to classic offwidth wiggling.  This is a must for anyone interested in Vedauwoo's offwidths.

This is the lightning bolt finger crack which fractures out towards the right. Follow the crack until it moves around the arete, then finish up easy 5th class terrain. The off width pod about 20ft up is deceivingly tricky The rock quality is excellent inside most of the crack, but the face is in need of some cleaning. Beware of a questionable block as you follow the crack around the arete.

This is another Vedauwoo crimper/crystal puller with a few fun cobbles along the way! The crux is between the only two bolts on the route. Get high feet, and go for it!

This is a vexing problem.  Start on the lower flared hand and the good fingerlock.  Figure out the footwork and the flared jams only to find yourself on a slab top-out.  It is a great problem to work till your fingers feel like they will fall off.

This is an amazing, flared hand crack! The climbing is moderate up until about halfway up the route, where you get an excellent hand jam. After the hand jam, the crack becomes more narrow and flared all the way until the finish, where it becomes almost useless - thank God for the crystals! Super exciting and unique!

This is a fun hand crack that starts with a great fingerlock. The crux is the first move. The sit start variation goes at V2.

This is the other side of Hand Bannana.  Start on the fists at the bottom of Hand Bannana and kick into the offwidth below and in front of you.  Follow the offwidth as it goes down and around the bulge, eventually narrowing to fists and then flared tight hands as the angle eases up.  The crux on this is probably somewhat fist size specific, the larger your hands, the easier this problem will be.  Very fun and physical.

Karl ascends a 20 foot offwidth. It is mostly #5 Camalot sized; a good crack for practicing stacking. This is hardest right off of the ground.

Shorty is a fun but short hand crack, which is a great way to warm up or top out the formation. A slight flare keeps this route interesting and gives it the grade of 5.8, despite it being a less than vertical hand crack.

This problem traverses into the topout of

Warmup #1

from the left. Sit start in the crack, and move along a decent rail until you meet back up with the finish of

Warmup #1

. If this problem were to see more traffic, it could clean up nicely!

This is an awesome, overhung handcrack that exits on the topout of the offwidth to its left. After the hand crack ends, there are a few crimps that make the transition to the flared topout easier.

This is ascends a slightly overhanging handcrack and is just like a slightly smaller

Plumb Line

. Climb thin hands at the bottom and wide hands to fists at the top.

Knives Out is a fun, inversion problem that is a great warm up for other stuff in the area.  Bigger feet might be helpful.
