Scramble up to a grassy ledge and place a finger size cam in the beginning crack. A belay can be made here using the first bolt of Rough Cut. Tricky moves around the bulge sets you up for an exciting face encounter. When putting up this route I was finished at the second bolt due to tendonitis so Mike took over. He took a good leader fall with all the gear on but recovered and sent. This was probably his second time doing a ground up route. Awesome!

Scramble up to a grassy ledge where the first bolt is. You can also belay from here. A great series of small ledges and edging brings you to the midway crux which requires good smearing and thin edging. Easier to the anchor.

From the anchor of Gem Stone move right 10' to an anchor at the base of a rt. facing dihedral. To the right of the anchor is the first bolt to get you into the crack. Stemming and liebacks get progressively harder until a step left passes several more bolts to the anchor.

P-1 5.8 80' Follow the bolt line to a large ledge and the anchor. Nice incuts and small ledges. 6 bolts

P-2 5.10b 90' Difficulty starts off the ledge and remains continuous through the pitch. Lower back to the big ledge and rap from there back to the west tier trail. Don't rap down to the lower anchor. 9 bolts

P-1 5.10b 120' Left on a short ramp then straight up. Continuous smears and edging to the anchor. Can rap from here 100' to the ground below Rough Cut.

P-2 5.10a 80' Difficult moves past 2 bolts then eases off.

Undercling the cave to clip the first bolt and move out with a large stem and lieback the flake. Keep moving right to bolts up the slab and thin edging to the shared anchor.

Start with a mantle into a water grove then trend right. Now a silky smooth slab is encountered with difficult smear moves past the bolt to gain a ledge. More precise footwork follows to the anchor.

Use your crack skills up to the bolt, then step right and into the small roof. Here, pull over the roof and onto the arete for a few moves. Nice face climbing to the anchor. 90' rap

From the anchor of Kerfuffle go left to the first bolt and begin sustained climbing with some long reaches. Place a cam after the first bolt. The angle eases off after 4 bolts

Mantle a horizontal ledge then get to the white rock with thin edges and smears. You'll probably be peddling to the next bolt where the difficulty eases. Shared anchor with Silk Road.

Very nice face climbing to a high anchor. The leader can clip the chains and lower to the anchor of High Profile. When the second arrives at the chains just lower them to you.

Several bolts lead up to a ramp. If you stay on the face you get really nice granite moves or move to the ramp for easier climbing.

P-1 5.8 95' Just follow the bolt line past some grassy ledges then onto clean rock.

P-2 5.6 70' Head towards the right on plenty of edges, mostly solid but might have an occasional loose one.

Start in the gully and move right around the bulge onto the proper face (1st crux). Continue through moderate face climbing trending right. A diagonal dike cuts to the left (2nd crux) then straight up to the shared anchor.

More edging along the edge of the dihedral.

A great slab of clean rock with some delicate moves passing the 4th bolt. Easier after that.

P-1 5.10b 90'  One bolt to the crack, a .5 or .75 can be used here then stand and clip the bolt. A hard move over the bulge leads to easier climbing, keep the feet as high as possible under the bulge.

P-2 5.6 150'    Head out left on moderate moves, the bolts are farther apart but easy climbing on ledges passing a midway rap anchor. 9 bolts. A .4 cam can be used after the third bolt.

Place a cam to start which keeps the rope from getting in your way. A series of hard moves past the bulge followed by edges to the top.

This is the next right facing dihedral heading west. Great liebacking and finger jams to a midway crux. More liebacking then the crack gets wider. Turn the dihedral to the left to a rap anchor.

Place a cam at the start and mantle a ledge. Difficult edging past the next bolts, then moderate climbing on the lip up to the arete where Chalk Walk merges. Nice face climbing from here on. 90' rap.
