The "Grotto" is located on the left side of the wall. Most of the route is 5.5 or easier with a couple of 5.6 moves. The "crux" comes just after you clip the 3rd bolt. Step up to clip the bolt then move up and slightly left of the overhang. For an easier time, clip the 3rd bolt then move right.

Avoidance

From the anchors you can top rope "Avoidance" on the right side of the slab or any of the real estate between "Avoidance" and "Grotto". Make up your own routes as you go!

The name was derived since the climb "avoids" the easier corner to the right of the climb and "avoids" the poison oak at the base.
