Start in the crack on two good holds. Starting with a toe hook is 'easiest' but depends on your height.

Loki's Lair

No Such Thing

Eric the Northman

Vorshnor

Stairway to Valhallah

Norseman Traverse

Odin’s Slope

A Shortcut to Mushrooms

Thor's Crack

Loki's Lurch

One of the more enjoyable problems in the area. Sit start and pull a few compression moves to a low top out. Only the center boulder is on.

No such thing as a jug ladder outside huh? Fun, simple problem on the left of a nice V2 line. Sit start it, dyno the first move if you are feeling spicy.

This short little route is barely worth doing.Sit start or squat start with the lowest holds you can manage, pull on and throw for the slopes ledge, a simple top out and the problem is done before it really started.

Tall wall of holds, squeezed in between Loki’s Lurch and Lucifer’s Lean. Lots of eliminates and variants possible on this one. 

Traverse the left leaning crack to a juggy arete. Sit start.

A super fun traverse across all of the Norseman. Start using the starting jug of No Such Thing. Traverse down Stairway to Valhalla where you'll find the crux. Continue moving right all the way until you top out on Eric the Northman. There are too many ways to have fun on this line. It can go backwards but I would argue it is worse.

Sit start left of Valhalla start, climb straight up to the apex using slopers and meager holds on the face. This line feels arbitrary and somewhat contrived as it’s easier to use the left or right arete, they degrade the problem so much tho I’d coned it a V0 at that point. Still, arbitrary and contrived, this line is fun and worth doing if you’re here.

Sweet little Smith-y boulder with nice flakes & pockets (when they aren't under moss). Top out in the crack. There is a V2 variation (Second Breakfast) if you sit-start the problem.

 

Start standing and jam up the obvious flared crack. Over as soon as it begins.

This boulder is a great warmup, pretty well climbed out with 8 established lines. If it were another 5-10 feet tall it would host some 4 star lines, as is many feel a few moves short, but still worthwhile.
