I get it. Sometimes you only have one day to climb and you want to make sure you don't miss the classics, must do, or the hidden gems. Here are the problems I recommend at every level. I've either A) done them because they're awesome or B) they're a project. I hope this helps your research whether or not you stumbled here the night before or using it as you plan your trip! Enjoy!

Vfun-3
Outside for the first time or looking to do some fun, chill problems for a high volume day? Here you go!
A classic, aesthetic climb! Just make sure you've got a good pad set up and enjoy the move over the lip to the namesake, Ribcage section!
Ribcage, V3
Is it ACTUALLY V3? Who knows. I like to avoid the swing with a cheeky toe, but do you!
Swingers, V3
Mantles can be a bit foreign indoors. Get your practice in and add some syrup while you're at it.
Pancake Mantle, V2
Right next to swingers and Tennessee Thong, enjoy!
Smoking Jacket, V1
Some even do it no hands! Not me, though.
Scully, V2
Very, very low ball with a ver interesting mantle finish. You got this!
Turtle Tracks, V3
Make sure you get your top out practice in. You heard it here first!
Mystery Groove, V4
V4-5
Fun climbs in the V4-5 range. All classics, all aesthetic as HECK.
Right next to ribcage, go figure! A little tricky, a sneaky toe, and various beta make this a fun one!
Sternum, V5
Climb out of the cave pit with a good spotter and don't fall into said hole.
Art of the Vogi, V4
One of my favorite spots/climbs in Stone Fort. Traverse from the left, don't dab the tree, and finish on V2 slab.
Monster Extension, V5
Yes, it's sharp but SO so good! Crimp queens, this is for you!
Latin for Daggers, V5
Probably the most identifiable problem in Stone Fort and quite possibly already on your list.
Super Mario, V4
A great problem in the front area behind the wave. Great landing zone, to boot!
Genghis Khan, V5
Great climb and requires a dynamic move if you are a shorty!
Dragon Lady, V4
Really interesting top out. Beach whale if you have to and make sure that top is DRY DRY!! Always known for being wet, which means you prob shouldn't attempt it then.
Black Carpet, V4
V6-7
The must do moderates at Stone Fort!
The “Cover Problem” on guidebooks. Deceptively easy looking…it's not.
Deception, V7
Looking for the perfect moderate crimp piece? Here you go!
Cyclops, V6
Don't get yourself a Tennessee Thong and make sure you're padded. IYKYK.
Tennessee Thong, V7
Travel into the tiny cave (very confinded space) across from Ribcage. If people are already in there, wait your turn. Trust me. Grimace, V8 is directly behind it. Enjoy!
Face in the Crowd, V7
Climb the shot gun shell like holds to the top. Questionable landing zone so have at least one spotter!
Shotgun, V6
Must do slab problem. Trust the nasty toe pebble, it goes!
Fortune, V6
Really unique looking problem in an alley that leads to Dragon Lady. May be tough to start if you're a shorty (as with many climbs)
Celestial Mechanics, V7
Outdoor gym problem? Yes. Super dynamic movement, extra nice when there's tons of pads below you! Not so nice, if not. Top out is crux.
Heroin, V7
V8-Vhard
For the crushers or establish a project you can go back to after another training season! Why is this list so short? Because I'm not there yet hahahaha apologies!
Beautiful climb, close to Deception. Go you crusher!
The Shield, V12
This is NOT a photo of Simply Irresistible as I haven't seen it repeated a lot. I recommend lots o pads, researching beta but it's a sketchy big move to the top of a caved in area. Guide book or Kaya it. It's very cool and v scary imo.
Simply Irreisistable, V8
Seems pretty nutty but really cool at the same time. I've seen a few different betas but your crimp strength better be insane.
Biggie Shorty, V10
Right next to Celestial Mechanics. Maybe try it on top rope? Very sketchy, very high up.
King James, V10
Right next to dragon lady and cool movement if you've got the power for it!
