Climb to the top of the pillar on solid rock. Crux is pulling the overhang to the anchors.

Bouldery crux at beginning leads to fun slab climbing above.

Upon arriving at Adit Rock you'll be directly under the steep arête that is Anti-Reflective.  Hop on top of the pillar, clip the first bolt and get ready to do battle.  You'll get a few quick shakes on the route but never anything like a rest until clipping the anchor.  This is a good one to project as the falls are clean and the bolts are tightly spaced.  Speaking of bolts, several of them are surprisingly tiring to clip.

This route was given two stars in the guide book but I decided to bump it up on here. The gear is truly unique, and the climbing is truly awkward. the crux is everything This route used to be bolted along the outside of the bombay crack but has since been chopped. The only way to do it now is to either set up nice guy's and top rope the outside edge of the crack or go all out and lead it from inside the depths of this gaping crack. The lead is awesome. My only complaint was the length. so short.

Climb the wide crack/chimney that splits the face from top to bottom.   

  Climbing the offwidth top section can be avoided by climbing on face hold to the right of the crack.

Climb the steep right side of the big globe feature. Follow blocky holds trending up and left on 11+ climbing to a beta intensive crux above the 3rd bolt. Could be 13a?

As the name suggests, this route is short but what it lacks in height it more than makes up for in easy fun and sometimes awkward moves along this corner crack climb. The crux would depend on your style.

Shockingly fun for a 5.4 on Staender Ridge.  Great rock, good movement.  If you were interested in a couple of other routes near Adit Rock, and were looking for something different, this could be a great excuse for a diversion from the typical day at Smith.  Use this route and a couple others as a good first day of the season, or a nice place to go when you're injured, and still want to climb.

The lowest formation on Staender Ridge. Home to many of Ryan Lawsons newer sport routes as well as some old classics.
