This route traverses leftward above all of the other routes.  There is one large roof to pass under which is face climbing protected with two roof bolts.  There are rap anchors on both sides.  If you want to use all the anchors (more to the right of the roof) bring some long slings to keep easy flow in the rope belay system.

This route goes north to trade for an easier way than the direct.  Crimpy in places and an uncertain handhold needed for the passage through the parallel walls.

Ascent the gulley marking use of cracks, ledges and face holds.

Some say it is an 8 while others say it is a nine.  While next to a bolt you have to use a single strong hold, really this is what happens quite often on an eight.

Next to a bolt you will have to figure out the most perplexing move of all the ten's  moves on this wall while the meter is running.  Some of the foot holds are kind of high.

This route ascends the arete just right of Delaware.  On a couple of occasions it is possible to chicken-walk off the arete and go for easier climbing but then you don't the get the feeling of being on a narrow arete.  Your goal is stay on the arete line through the final big roof--hands and/or face.

Cannons begins down and right of the right side of the large slab the lays against the main wall.  From the left side of the flat bench ascent steep rock to the arete and continue up and right to steep rock with ledge like hold.  Finish this section for a short crack or face to ledge and find a way to clip rap bolts

A gully route with lot of security.  Sometimes you can just step around the apparent problem and continue towards your goal.

It is easier to begin right of the main line and move up and left on the gray shale stone and make the clip below the roof.

You always on steep turf fighting on this face route of the Rev Wall.  In general big hand holds will get you through.

The route is quite direct and the obvious roof is fairly negotiable leading to easy going.

Delaware is the 4th route from the left.  After gaining a ledge on a sandstone corner work across a shaley but firm face of slopers.  Next the formation changes to a short sandstone crack and then unto some ledges for the final holds to the anchors.

This route is the left most on the wall.  Ascent some ledges to crack and layback system the up and into "V" of gulley.

This arete route follows an easier line than the arete route to the left but still offers a challenge to stay on the arete line down low.

This fill in route made use of some unused turf between two already existing lines.  Consequently one may want to wander to the right where the going is easier.  The main objective is to pass through the crack roof and then join the route on the right.

The route passes along a shallow section of crack in the light gray shalestone and later passes left of the biggest roof section but has neither good foot holds or hand holds to make for an easy passage.

Valley Forge is located on the east face of the Rev Wall and begins immediately to the right and below a projecting block about 12 feet high.  Strenuous moves get hand hold access to the large block (Forge Rock) but doesn't assure getting on top of it.  Continue up the crack a short distance crossing a slippery face to some roof holds.  Pull it down and angle to the left for the anchor bolts.

This class sedimentary route will run you through a variety of handholds textures after you gain access to the top of Forge Rock.  When going left at  the bolt on the major roof as shown in the picture leads to a crack crux.  While going just right of the bolt leads to an almost lunge like stretch to get the good hand ledges under the next roof.  After gaining to the ledge above the 2nd roof their are rap bolt both to the left and to the right.

Ascent the left side of large slab that leans against the main wall. The going gets steeper to a jutting block.  Its been done by going either way around the block.  A long reach gets you home for a few more moves to the rap station.
