The Overlook

The Overlook is seeing a surge in development lately. Trail work has been going on and lots of new routes. Routes are listed right to left.

Consider wearing a helmet to belay since small rocks are still being dislodged on many of the routes. It's less of a concern on the steeper routes as many of the rocks fall out past the ledge.

Isle of View through Bird's Eye View climb and overhanging wall on the left side of the overlook.

Name	Grade	Length	Comments
Isle of View	12b	24m	Follows steep rock to a technical section above the overhang.
A View to a Kill	12a	24m	*Start in a right facing dihedral, pass through several roofs and join Out of Sight* for the last 3 bolts.**
Out of Sight	12c	24m	Follows a thin black streak and through two large adjacent pockets beneath the lip of the overhang. Currently sports a fixed chain draw on the 3rd clip.
Seeing is Believing	12c	22m	Follow red bolt hangers to undercling crack, then climb a short difficult sequence on pockets to easier climbing.
Abre Los Ojos	11b	23m	*Spanish for "Open your eyes". Clip the first two bolts of Birds Eye View* then move left (2 bolts) to join Seeing is Believing. Excellent!**
*Birds Eye View (previously called Crack Ho)*	11a	19m	The route follows an overhanging crack to a pocketed face. Swallows sometimes live in the crack. 8 bolts
Then next two routes are on the tall blonde face around the corner to the right of the above routes.
Overlooked	11b	26m	Goes up the right side of the tall yellow face via a corner. It has several 11a cruxes. 10 bolts
Project	10?	30m	*There is a route being developed aprx. 20m right of Overlooked* .**
The following routes are a little mossy and have some loose rock. They are located on the far right side of the cliff. Access by walking the ledge past Isle of View, etc.. and beneather the other routes. Going the low road beneath the ledge is not as pleasent as no trail work has been done yet.
Unknown 4	10b	22m	About 100m leftt of the following two routes. Climb grey rock split by 2 big ledges. Possible ledge fall potential clipping the second bolt above the upper ledge.
Unknown 3	10a	20m	Climb a blonde corner, move right onto a ledge, then up the slab to anchors. Long runners useful.
Unknown 2	9	20m	Start on Unknown 1 and traverse left to finish on Unknown 2.
