End of State Maintenance

In the right side of the nursery, this route ascends the massive roof you pass as you head up the trail towards the cliff line.

Angle right a bit through large holds then deal with a hard 11d+ section.

Climb up to a larger horizontal ledge then cruise up the slab, passing another horizontal, then all the way to the chains.

Bouldery moves and underclings down low lead to a rest and a mellower finish as the bolts become more spaced.

Third route from the left on the slab wall (next to Pixadoodle). Climb up and into a hueco; getting above the hueco is the crux.

Start just right of End of State Maintenance. Some big moves to good holds lead to a ledge. Pull the final bulge on big holds to an anchor at the lip.

Mantel up to a ledge then fight the pump on a slightly overhanging face

Climb up between Hazy Dazy and a hueco. (This is the second route from the left on the slab wall.)

start just right of kentucky two step. Climb up some leadges to a tricky spot. As with most of the slab routes the ability to highstep and mantel will make this one easy.

If you're up for a bit of adventure climbing and you lugged your trad rack to Nursery, this is the route for you. Some of the moves require a bit of faith but the gear and holds are all there. Prepare to get a little dirty. When we told someone our plan was to clean and FA this route, they remarked, "You can't polish a turd." Well, it turns out you can.

Bouldery start into good jugs some good rests then thins out at the top

Starts 20 feet left of Solomon Grundy. Work your way up through some easy ledge climbing to a stance below the first bolt. Moderate climbing on solid edges and pockets takes you to a rest before the roof before the steep headwall. When ready, make a move to gain the roof and get ready to pull hard. Choosing pockets wisely may be the difference between sending or not. Rock quality on this is significantly better than it's neighbor to the right.

Climb up the slab, passing a hueco on the left. Continue through a tricky/technical sequence (or just reach through) and finish at the chains.

Start on the overhung face and get your money's worth for the grade in the first 10 feet. Recommend stick clipping the first bolt if you're not solid on 11s. After that just pumpy and fun moves to the chains.
