The "Trueverse" is a super fun and sustained hand traverse that crosses 9 climbs, utilizing existing bolts, in approximately 150 feet. It's a climb to be done only when it's real quiet at the crag though. Embarking on this journey with someone else climbing what you're about to cross is a bad move - so be smart.

-What's good about it?:

It's long, fun, adventurous, and challenging with loads of good handholds, great friction, and it's mostly protectable with bolts.

-What's bad about it?:

Still a little dirty with some suspect flakes and lichen, feet can be tricky in spots, requires some gear placements to be safer, big pendulum fall potential for leader and follower in places, rope drag, and it's only climbable when no one else is climbing in the area.

Although it's 95% bolt protected you'll want to bring along some cams and slings.

Right after leaving the third bolt on "The Pumpkin", as the actual traversing begins, the feet get tiny and the hand holds can be tricky on the bulge for about 15 feet. Place a piece as soon as you can and place it well. A second bulge comes after passing "I think the Devil Just Called My Name", and is a little heads up. Some of the rock is suspect in places so use really good judgment to eliminate the risk of blowing a piece if you or the follower fall.

DON'T place any cams behind flakes - only in solid rock

. Check holds before yarding on them.

A fun little route with no distinctive crux. It's a little chossy between fourth and fifth bolt but should clean up with time.

hardest move at third bolt. then well protected climbing to anchors

crux is at 4th bolt decent holds bad feet

a powerful move at the second bolt gets things started from there follow the seam to the crux at the sixth bolt.after clipping the last bolt go left onto the face good holds lead to anchor.

big holds lead to a thin crux move at the last bolt

crux is pulling roof at fifth or sixth bolt

cool roof moves at about the 5th bolt lead to funky dihedral climbing and one more roof.

a couple cool moves pulling th bulge at 4th bolt then cruise to the anchors

crux is at the fifth bolt then easier moves to anchors

fun steep moves right off the ground lead to a thin crux move at the 5th bolt. from there head left to an arete to two open cold shuts

casual climbing leads to a steep powerful crux at the last bolt

follow the bolt line and go left at the last bolt.

technical face climbing. action packed. 9 bolts and chains/clips
