Routes as sport in The Hood

left most route, far away around corner from rest of routes.

One of the best 12a's in the area. Punchy and powerful.

Traverse right before very large move to mantle a bulge. Pleasing movement.

same as Drive By but finish right into Dangerous Minds anchor.

sharp slab to vertical seam/crack. the top of this climb is the branching off point for Dangerous Minds, Watts left, and Watts Right.

Finish in dihedral feature.

Enter Via Warlords if not then did you really send.

Starts to left of Guntower and traverses left, finishing above Corrosion Cave.

Continue from Malt Liquor Man p1 anchors to an intriguing and exciting finish.

The extension to guntower. Excellent varied climbing on technical slab.

start to right of Guntower. traverse into Cop killer. alternate finish on HUTH (slightly easier).

start to left of heatin up the hood (HUTH) and go straight up with hard mantle, then finish on Cop killer.

Climb HUTH but break left at top into crimpy boulder problem.

Start at HUTH, but go straight up, instead of arcing to the left and back. Finish at HUTH anchors.

to the right of I shot the sheriff.

slab to the right of Heatin Up the Hood.

continue up from p1 anchors through punchy pockets and daring smearing. this micro extension is a good warmup if you enjoy wrecking your tendons on pockets!

start as witness this and finish on heating up the hood.

Leftward diagonal line that traverses through a prominent set of horizontal pocket/runnels.

A popular alternate warmup to the Pine tree ledge. Start in often wet concavity and move up into pods, then traverse left on more pockets. Up and right of Wired.

instead of traversing left past P1, go straight up to finish on Boyz in the Hood. Pretty vicious little boulder problem.

When combined with P1, a local favorite, and one of the best climbs at the Hood.

This and Borderline were the first two climbs ever bolted at the Hood.

The paragon of Hood slab climbing: extremely fun, technical, and powerful.

Start on Borderline but then traverse right at the 3rd bolt into a tricky boulder problem.

Back left corner of the cave.

Route has broken near the top making it less fun than it used to be. Still a fantastic climb. Finish by traversing left to anchors for Straight Outta Compton. The extension goes out the roof and is not to be missed!

Continue to anchors in the middle of the horizontal roof. Wild fun.

Start at back right of cave. Boulder problem leads to long calf-burning leftward traverse to finish on Straight Outta Compton.

Roof extension to Energizer

An intriguing obscurity down and right of the cave.
