"Espresso" is the long and impressive arete and face at the far left side of the Java Wall. There is a large loose looking block protruding from the face at the base. Begin climbing the short steep face, right of the block, to an easy slab section. From here, continue up the arete and make a short traverse left, to pull onto a shelf above the bulge. Follow the left line of bolts (Cappuccino goes straight up) on edges and small pockets on the gently overhanging wall. "Espresso" is one of the best long moderates at Echo Cliffs.

Ramp Route

Start as for Caffeine. Climb the first eight bolts of Caffeine, then move left onto the steeper part of the face.

Climb Caffeine and clip the first four bolts. From there climb directly up towards the anchors.

Start up the arete on the right side of the Java Wall and finish on the face.

This was the first route climbed at Echo Cliffs.

Start up the easy ramp, as for Espresso. From the top of the ramp, move right and climb a steep dihedral.

Start as for Espresso, but after clipping its 8th bolt climb straight up the right bolt line past powerful pocket moves.

Start on Java and clip the first two bolts. Head left to the next line of bolts.

The first bolts on this climb look like a direct start to Death Before Decaf. However, after 4 bolts this route moves left, passing two bolts, and finishes on the last 5 bolts of Americano.

A link-up of Daily Grind & Java. Start on Daily Grind and climb to its 9th bolt. After clipping this, climb up and left, passing 2 independent bolts and some thin crimps. Connect with Java at its 11th bolt and finish on that route.

Start on Java and clip the first 8 bolts. Move left and clip one bolt before joining Death Before Decaf's last 3 bolts.

Note: don't traverse too low: moving left after 2 bolts is Death Before Decaf.
