Despite the awkward and scrunchy sit start caused by the boulder behind it, this is a fun problem on excellent rock. Make a few compression moves on cool holds to a slopy topout.

Overhangatang

Start on crimps just above the small low overhang. Climb straight up the face on improving holds to an easy topout. A sit can be done from a good undercling below the overhang that probably bumps the grade up a number.

Start the same as Overhangatang Left (listed here). Direct finish to the top.  Does not connect with Overhangatang route.

This route's name is a tribute to Murray Gell-Mann, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1969. Among Gell-Mann's contributions was the “eightfold way” idea that came about by the discovery of some 100 kinds of particles in collisions involving atomic nuclei. Gell-Mann subsequently found that all of those particles, including the neutron and proton, are composed of fundamental building blocks that he named “quarks".

Same start as Reptile Reach. Move up to a large crimp right below the lip, then make a healthy reach left to a large side pull. Shuffle your feet and move up to the lip at the furthest left corner of the boulder and top out.

Climb the crack feature moving right and get to the sloping lip. Then bust back left using heel hooks and difficult bumps until reaching the apex of the boulder and directly top out on desperate holds.

Start with compression on the beginning of two rail side pulls, do a few high tension moves on the roof torwards the head wall, matching the top of the wall is a bit difficult but topping out is easy.

First climbed on my 30th birthday in May 2015, hence the name. Jump start or climb into the starting jug and enjoy a handful of puckering moves to the lip. A vertically-gifted lowball problem.

Left most problem on Overhangatang boulder. Techy laybacks and foot sequence. Reach arete and big move to lip.

A short arete that offers explosive moves and great body tension.

Start far under with a left hand on the arete and a right on the crimp. Utilize heel hooking and good feet to make big moves before topping out on crimps/jugs.

Start matched on an obvious crimp. Throw for the lip and traverse to the top out. Short, but fun!

Start sitting with an undercling flake and make a series of tricky and tension-y moves, eventually joining back up with Standard Overhangatang for its finish.

Direct line on the left side of the Overhangatang boulder making your way up and right on crimps and small feet to a big move to lip.
