Venture Capital 11a

This route makes a great second pitch for "Lunchmoney". From the anchors on "Lunchmoney", move up and right about 15 feet to a two bolt belay at the base of the route. This belay can also be accessed by climbing a third class left-angling ramp, which also leads to "Stroh's". Venture Capital climbs up right to a good size ledge, and then takes a series of small overlaps in a shallow corner. 7 bolts.

Downsizing 10c
FA: Vaino Kodas, Mary Zuvela, 2004
The trail to the Capitalist Crag leads to a flat area with a large "picnic table" boulder. Downsizing starts from the left margin of this flat area, where the ground starts to dip down left. Follow 4 bolts up to a big ledge (the third class ledge that leads to Venture Capital and Stroh's). Continue up an arete past 8 more bolts to a two-bolt anchor. 12 bolts total. Be careful pulling your rope since it may land on the ledge and pull down some loose rocks.
