(1) Chuck E. Cheese (5.9) Trad - The climb is a classic three pitch. Pitch: 1 (5.8) Climb the left facing offwidth/dihedral to the top of a mini-buttress. Pitch: 2 (5.9) Climb the face up on a diagonal left. Traverse right to two bolts below a depression. Pitch: 3 (5.9) Climb up the face. There are two options just below the roof. The right is a crack and the left is juggy. Length: 250'

(2) Back for Seconds (5.11+) Mixed - Climb the arete rather than the the offwidth of Chuck E. Cheese Length: 60'

(3) Fear More Beer (5.11c) Mixed - Climb the face to the roof. Desperate. Length: 60'

(4) Angles Away (5.10) Trad - Follow the left facing dihedral to a set of anchors. Takes small gear in the crack in the corner. Length: 60'
