Barbarians at the Gate - 5.10a ** (55') F(5b)

Begin at the base of the outer edge of the arete. A bouldery crux start leads to fine varied and sustained climbing to the directional bolt at the top of the arete, from there step left to reach the shared chains at the top of Storming the Gates.

Storming the Gates - 5.9 **** (40') F (4b)

Very short but very sweet climbing up a ladder of rails and edges. Begin on the face between the two vertical cracks on the right (east) side of the mouth of the slot and climb directly up to the 2 chain anchors on top.

The Lion's Roar - 5.5 ** (70') F (7b)

Begin a few feet below the large Fir tree in the upper end of Hidden Slot and climb directly up on good (if somewhat broken seeming) holds to the directional bolt below the top, traverse left a few feet to share the top anchors with Lion 'n Wait. Crux is just below the top where you wouldn't want to fall stepping above the last bolt. Tricky and interesting climbing for the grade.

Sisyphus - 5.11a *** (50') F(5b)

Climbs the south face of the left (west) side of the entrance to the Hidden Slot. A very short route, but steep and sustained climbing for the bottom 30' leads to a good rest and then the more delicate finish and chain anchors just below the top. Probably a very hard onsight for the average 5.11- climber.

Thirty Feet to Heaven - 5.9 *** (30') F(2b)

Climbs the middle of the short lower south face on the small wall to the SW of the start of Hidden Slot, to the chain anchors just below the top. Lots of fun, and a tricky onsight!

Lion 'n Wait 5.7 ** (55') F (5b)

Begin at the upper end of Hidden Slot, just a few feet uphill from the large Fir tree. Climb the west facing wall to the chain anchors just below the large pine on top. Varied and interesting climbing with a tricky lower section that is unusual for this grade..
