This is a short, 5 bolt sport route on the south side of Bob's 5 feet to left of

Rio de Jean Perro

. You can link up into

.

This is the obvious and excellent crack on the right side of Bob's Rock. The pro for the first ~15' is poor/nil because of the flaring cracks. After the small ledge, the crack is a perfect vertical to overhanging hand crack. The rock takes good pro and the fall is safe. Definitely a good place to push yourself if it is at your limit.

The route begins on 25 feet of 5.5 up to a ramp. If you place gear in this section, use a long runner to avoid rope drag up above. After moving right up the ramp 10 feet, continue up bulges and cracks another 25 feet. This middle section is 5.9ish. After gaining the ledge, shake out, and prepare for the crux above.  The upper section is 30 feet of steep 5.10.  The first ten feet is bolt protected due to an expanding flake. The top anchors have chains to reduce rope drag.

This is a new route on the south side between the main wall and the Tool Wall.  Watch out for lots of loose rock and guano. The route needs a lot of cleaning!

The leader and belayer are highly advised to wear a helmet. Also, when rapping off, be aware that there is a bit of a swing when lowering (around the 2nd bolt), and you need to watch out for the tree.

This is a fun, well-protected mixed route up a series of short corners to chain anchors. It is a good addition to the easy/moderate routes on Bob's left side.

Begin below the broken, right-facing corner.  Climb left past 2 ring bolts to the right-angling crack system.  Continue up and left past 3 more bolts to the anchor.

This is great route for beginners.  There is an easy start to some moves that may will make a 5.6 - 5.7 climber think.  This climb has large flakes and even some cracks.

Use the same start as "

Hot Foot & High Step

." The crux comes between the third and fourth bolt.

Climb to the ledge then follow 3 bolts next to seam.  Finish up and left, pull a small roof (easier), then go up into the dihedral to a 2 bolt anchor.

Climb a slab to a stance where you can clip the first bolt. Continue on thin 5.11 moves past the first bolt. It is 5.10 or easier climbing past the next two bolts to the base of the overhang. Bust out the crux overhang, and clip the anchor on the ledge.

In the center of Bob's Rock, there is an obvious lieback flake to start (crux) that continues to an angling crack to a dihedral.

Climb

Bob's Crack

for 25 feet, exit left into a left-facing corner and climb over the roof to a left-angling seam. Follow the seam to the top with a crux about 2/3 of the way up.

This has face and crack climbing up a steep wall and a bulge.  Ya gotta figure out if you want to try to pull the bulge on the left or right at the 3rd bolt.

This is a nice, little route up the arete. You can thank Sarah DeNicholas for this one. The crux is between bolt 4 and bolt 6.

Bobby Lewis set the route.

This is a short 5 bolt lead. It is great for new leaders or a warm-up.

Eds. This used to be a trad lead before the retrobolts.

Climb the crack just around the corner from

Bob's Crack

on the right side of Bob's Rock.

Do the same start as

Chilcat

, and climb up the short, moderate crack. Continue straight up, instead of going up the ramp to the right, to

Chilcat’s

hard sections. Eventually, angle left and up, joining

Hot Foot and High Step

below its last bolt.

This is a fun moderate for the Ark Valley climber.

This is on the right side of Bob's Rock.  It has a couple tricky moves.  The name fits it perfectly.

This has hard climbing on thin edges on the face left of Wire Man Crack (right-leaning crack, 11a) 5 bolts 2 bolt anchor.

This is the second left-most route, just right of the slab, [right]-angling crack, then up through roof (crux). 4 bolts and a few stoppers help lessen the run-out.
