Routes in Red Rock for selected grade

About 20 feet uphill from Chess Boulder is boulder with pink/red rock of seemingly poor quality. Stand start with hueco features and top out directly above on some very sandy holds.

Start low on right side. Top out. various starts possible, all about the same difficulty. It's a two-mover.

Starts as Potato Chips, moving left and up straight after but avoiding any other holds of former problem.

Sit start with both hands on a right-angling rail. Move up to a rad sloper to the arete. Gain the good edges at the lip and mantle to the final slab- be careful here!

crimp line on the far right

Pick up rock with right hand

SDS with two hands in the low crack and bust out up and left. Same finish as "Square Arete".

very sandy

Sit / crouch start with heel hook or toe hook and hands on small opposing crimps under micro roof. Mantle the tiny boulder.

A showcase problem of the area. Sit start with both hands on the flake below the lip. Traverse right to a difficult mantle. The name is a reference to Ryan Moran who first took interest in the problem.

Right of Crimson Crimp, left of Samadhi. Sandy jugs lead to scoop, kneepad helpful. Then long move / jump right to snag a brick jug, mantle, and top out. Originally given 13a/b, but grade has yet to settle.

Rectangular hole start to slopers, underclings, and a slopey, holdless topout.

same start as Buffalo Ball Traverse, but go up and right. Dynoing could be a solution.

hard technical corner

Sit start in middle of low rail. move right to jug edge and then a large move straight up to the slopey rail and direct top out.

Mega slopey. Mega sandy. Mega classic. Mega choss

Begin by climbing an approach pitch (5.9 PG13) on the left wall below the massive roof. This is actually quite enjoyable. Traverse right on a thin foot ledge towards loose blocks, or continue up a massive hollow flake and then move right. This leads to a bolted belay at a sloping stance. 35 meters.

Clip a bolt off the belay with a long runner and step left around the arete into a junky corner. Up this a few moves and then back onto the arete. Stretch right to the crack, place pro, and commit to the short but surprisingly steep finger crack. There is basically one move of each size - tips through hands - on the way to the roof, so no matter your hand size, there's a crux for you! Under the roof, cop a pumpy rest and avoid clipping the lowering bolt; instead launch outwards. #2 Camalots quickly widen to #3 Camalots at the lip where a jug awaits for pulling over to the top. For many this "11d" section proves to be the crux.

Backjump and lower from the bolt under the roof to clean.
