Brits In Drag, a trad route at 5.10b, and Twittish Empire, a 5.11b trad route, are among the named options. The sport routes include Takis at 5.4 and Butt Nugget 2000 at 5.10. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Yucca Valley run to highs around 73°F in April and 80°F in October, while July and August average highs near 96°F. The station sits roughly 1,100 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler.
