This is a fun new route (as of 2020) that begins with some easy albeit airy slab moves, to pleasant chicken heads. Don't get distracted by the anchors to Born to be Mild and Tinsel Moose to your right after the bulge. Follow the bolt line to the grassy top. This is a long route, so make sure to tie knots at the end of your rope!

20 feet right of Santa Cruz, follow up a short staircase until your under the bolt line. Fun slabby moves

Either belay from the ground, or (my preference) scramble up to a slopey ledge at the base of the real climbing.  Follow the obvious winding flake up the length of the slab.  Top out on dirty chickenheads to a mossy ledge and head left to find the bolted anchor for Thin As Ice.  Rappel the route with two ropes, rap twice using an intermediate anchor on Thin As Ice with one rope, or walk off.

This route is super fun. It climbs amazing chicken heads and pinches. A great warm up and a great climb to convince people Snowbird is more than slabtastic.   

  Climb through the bolts and break right to a two bolt anchor. or brave the long run out to the leeper hanger about 30ft up for an energetic and exciting finish.

This route is a blast. Fun crack moves, amazing chicken heads. Climb a corner to a lip, clip some bolts, sling some chicken heads and head up and right to a 2 bolt anchor.

Climb straight up between Santa Cruz and Second Sally. Slightly more technical route then the routes on either side.

Follows a line of bolts up a blank slab in the center of the face.  Climb it in either one or two pitches (Usually two).  Extra fun in the rain!

This is a great route. It climbs awesome slab with good features. Follow chicken heads though bulges. You can continue this route on the second pitch of Tinsel Moose.

This route is the ornery brother of Mr. Bill. Climb good chicken heads using a crack to the left with small gear and a few good finger locks. Be prepared to sling some knobs!

This crack is just to the right of Thin as Ice and left of snowflake. Its quite dirty, but got a good scraping in 2015. It's likely been climbed long ago.

If this route has been climbed, it hasn't been climbed in many decades. Had no fixed gear, and copious loose blocks waiting to squish your partner. It starts directly below the large roofs on the right hand side of Snowbird, and follows a choss filled corner system.  

  Pitch 1: This pitch has potential, it is dirty but with some love and such it could be a fun little adventure with good access to the roofs. 5.10R/X 1 star. Belay off a number 2 and number three BD just above an alcove. 110ft.  

  Pitch 2: This pitch has no potential unless you're training for alpine choss wrangling scarefests. From the belay, climb trending right into loose dirty corner, this has some weird rock, loose blocks, and looks to be typically very wet. 5.9 R. Belay from a nice stance to the right just before the angles slacks off.  100ft. 

  Pitch 3: Is this an actual pitch? Loose blocks, moss wrangling and such. 5.5. Belay off of boulders at the top. 100ft. Walk off climbers right.

This route is another good spicy slab climb. It provides good training for Tuolumne. It can be linked into a single mega pitch although rope drag becomes a factor on delicate moves high on the route.  

  P1: 5.7, climb the slabby corner to the right of Born to be Mild, head towards a bolt at the steepest section. Clip the bolt and head left to the anchor.  

  P2: 5.8, climb right past a single bolt to small/medium gear. The route goes into a large slabby corner, this corner is dirty bring a nut tool for cleaning place lots of gear in the crack before the big wide corner. This is the R rated pitch, be prepared for 30+ foot run outs.

Fun short route on far left side of the crag. Climb chicken heads to the top.

An easy-access wall with over a dozen quality routes.  Great for a full day or even just an evening.
