This is the first route you come to from the trail, it starts at the toe of the lower buttress. A 5.8 crux comes early on then 5.easy climbing to the anchor. Decent warm-up.

Albert's route

A very difficult slab move to easier climbing above. Crux comes right after the first bolt.

An enjoyable splitter crack/stem problem. If only it were longer.

Climb up the steep golden face. The highlight is some hand-foot matching. The route is only a TR problem.

Traversing route that heads out on small knobs. Well protected.

Start in a corner ramp, the rock is slicker than it looks! Make it to the jug, pull the mini-lip and cruise up the slab to the anchor!

Easy climbing on the toe of the upper buttress leads to a short bolts protected crux. Easier climbing to the anchors

Climb up the face with just enough small holds where you want them. Climb past a short arete with a mantle-like move at the top to gain easier climbing to the anchors. Very well protected. No rap rings on the anchors. Can down climb the 3rd class gully to the left or rap off the anchors of Unnamed 5.8 to the right.

Straight up the face of the lower buttress, a cool lie-back move on a flake leads to easier climbing above. The spacing on teh bolts is a bit sporty compared to other routes on the wall.

Start in the easy offwidth, bust left onto the bolted face above.

Traversing, well protected slab leads to a short steep section. Height dependent crux.

Tricky slab leads to a highly enjoyable face climbing above.
