A lower-angle slabby start gives way to a steeper upper wall.  Climb through a short section of overhanging thin crack and continue to the chains using big holds.

Critters on the Cliff

Climb a low-angle slabby start to the more vertical wall.  Ascend the steeper via reachy moves and big holds to the roof just before the anchors.  Pull through the roof to arrive at the chains.  Good route.

Return of Manimal

Easy trad romp to the disconnected blocks below the two bolts.  Mantle the ledge.  Clip the bolts and head to the anchors.

Put the Best Foot Forward

Surmount the bulge at the first bolt with the help of a slopey sidepull pinch. The route eases up after the first bolt.

Guardians of Gaia

Start by climbing up a flake to slightly easier ground above.  Good fun.

Hey There Fancy Pants

Fun bolted route just to the left of Sweet Jane. Climbs a little bit easier and is a little more fun than Sweet Jane.

According to Jeff Colombo, the route got it's name from the large bees nest that usually forms near the bottom of the route each summer. Glad I was there in the spring!

Bee's Business

This short trad line may be worth doing if you happen to have your rack with you at this predominantly sport area.

Finesse your way up a short flaring crack to a horn.  Continue up the thin, left-leaning crack to the anchors for A-Beano.

Immodium AD

Hard first move.  Easy climbing to anchors.  Last move is easier if you are taller.

A-Beano

Start on a right-facing flake, then pull boulder problem through the roof, and up easier ground to the chains.

Little Viper

This route has a little of everything from face moves, jugs and a mantle to get you to the anchors. Clip the anchors high and to the left on the ledge.

Trundling Kentucky

The guidebook calls this a "one-move wonder," but if you don't have some gas left to get to the anchors after the roof, your next move will be straight down.

Starting at a short dihedral, climb up and right to easy ground that leads up to a roof.  Clip the bolt on the lip, then hand-traverse right before making a reachy move to pull the roof (crux).  Continue straight up past the last bolt to anchors that are invisible until you're almost on top of them.

Don't Take Yer Guns to Town

Nice moderate sport route.  Climb up the low-angle slabby start on balancy little knobs.  Then climb up the steeper upper wall using good big holds.

Rat Stew

Climb the plated features to a crack system, and chimney behind a large flake. Standing on top of the flake you can choose to go left onto a ledge and climb straight up, clipping two bolts (Put The Best Foot Forward) or continue angling right out a crack system towards send me on my way. Top out a large ledge where you'll find a set of rappel anchors or end on Send Me on My Way if no other parties are occupying that anchor.

The rock quality deteriorates when Get on the Good Foot angles out right, be careful not to knock rocks on those below or choose to clip up the bolts and finish on Put the Best Foot Forward for better rock quality.

Get on the Good Foot

Climb the moderate slab to get to the first crux section as the wall steepens... This crux can be done to the right of the bolt (techy) or the left (powerful) at about the same grade... above this you get a little rest the one more crux pulling an overlap and through a notch(an undercling may help)... from there it eases up a bit till you are at the chains...

Workin' For The Weekend

A popular route that is super fun and a good example of the 5.11a grade in my opinion...

Start on thin holds climbing past a scar in the rock to better holds for an awkward move or two and then a rest looking up at a shallow corner with a crack in it... Jam or layback a few moves in the crack to more moderate but fun climbing to a mantel and the chains...

Jungle Trundler

Climb large plates and pockets to a short crux near the anchors.

Ohio Climbing

Solid pockets and very nice underclings climb to a nice top out on a large ledge.

Redeye Brew

This route is the bolted line to the left of Bee's Business. Ascend a slabby section to a small roof, navigate the roof and continue up the slab to the top.

Stay Off the Radio Jeff!

Feels easier than 5.9, easy clipping stances, nice jugs.  Very good climb.

Send Me on My Way

Start from the boulder or ground and ascend poor open hand holds to an anchor.

Redriveroutdoors.com

Traverse in to the arete from either side, or attempt the bouldery, reachy direct start for bonus points and a jump in the difficulty rating. Then go up.

Flutterby Blue

A broken wondering crack system to a small ledge to a right arching crack to the anchors of Red Eye Brew

Pine Needle Shuffle

A dirty hand sized crack through a tree ledge. The name is a pretty good description of the experience.

Dirt In Eye

Formerly one of the few interesting trad lines at Bruise Brothers, Sweet Jane has now been retrobolted as a somewhat less remarkable sport route.

Follow a somewhat broken and nicely-featured dihedral up to a short left-leaning hand crack toward the top.  Pull the crack and finish at the anchors under the big roof.

Sweet Jane

Crack system that begins from the base of "The Offering" up and right to chain anchor on "Get on the Good Foot".

The P. Heist Rockway to Heaven

This route ascends the overhanging pocketed face out the middle of the mini-amphitheater. Solve the thin cruxy sequence between the 1st and 2nd bolts, then swim up 5.10 jugs to a Fixe ring anchor below the final roof.

Shinrin-yoku

Easy climbing leads to roof pulling on somewhat positive holds.  Make a long reach up to the next hold over the roof, don't fall the last bolt is a long way down.  I used a #4 camalot below the roof, to protect those moves.  It's still not over once you get over the roof.

The Offering

An extension to CH4.  Climb up to chains on CH4 and continue up through large bulging roof for 3 bolts to top chains.  Really fun and bouldery.

Rising

easy 5.5 climbing to a short corner.

Plug a medium cam and make the one slaby move and cruise to the anchors.

Tomthievery (aka The Sultan Returns)

Another short but fun route that is well sheltered from rain... similarly to A-Beano you start with the crux and go on to more moderate stuff but unlike that route you will hit one more challenging move right before the anchor...

Right of “Guardians of Gaia” is another route that has a slopey crux at the first bolt. This one is a bit more desperate and requires some technique and balance along with some sloper squeezing.
