The Trashcan Rock of the Valley. My partner had never climbed Yosemite jam cracks before, so we ran lots and lots and lots and lots of laps here to get him well-versed on Valley style of climbing. Well, at least the normal, not flared and spooky stuff...yet! Also a really fun place to solo, woohoo

Also found a fun bouldering traverse that goes from TBA to TBA, starting in an off-width crack, then a finger crack, then a long horizontal seam/crack.

Great place to warm up!
Lots of fun routes for all levels! Great for soloing, top ropes, or introductory climbs for newer climbers!
