Will the holds appear or not?

Steep face climbing on huge holds lead to a nice, ledgy rest.  Follow the bolts as you climb up under a little overlap and do the killer mantle that you're sure to remember.  Vertical edging on positive holds kicks back to cool climbing through blocks with hidden edges.  Finishes at the same belay as Specter.

Specter

Pitch 1: Either start from the belay at the bottom of the Specter Wall, at the belay for

My God, Your God

or over at

Indie Dog Memorial Route

. Head up the slab passing two bolts then traverse into blocky steepness, passing interspersed gear and one bolt to reach a broad ramp. Continue past a bolt to reach the anchors of Specter/Apparition. This is the easiest way to get to the top of the Specter Wall, making for a great way to work these routes..

Pitch 2: Scamper left from the belay and scramble to a high bolt before launching into 60' of tricky patina climbing, trending slightly right on decent holds to a reachy crux right below the lip. The anchor is over the top on a flat block, two bolts which are currently choking in multiple generations of webbing and cords, faded and rodent-munched. Bring a knife.

This is a nice line. A steep crux, a vertical crux, an off-vertical crux. Some of the best, most crisp crimps I've laid hands on.
