An enjoyable romp up the left arete of Bandit Buttress. Well protected and a great way to steal that last bit of sun on a winter afternoon. Not the worst rock in Woodfords but not the best; expect a little exfoliation. This route will clean up nicely with traffic.

Cervesas in Zapata Land

A top rope route that can be easily climbed from the anchors of Cat Burglar/The Prowler. It connects an initial crack system with a thin left facing seam to the top portion of Cat Burglar.

The tricky face move start getting to the third bolt is the crux. Good rock leads you up and right next to a large crack that pinches out to a ledge above. Step left and wonder up and over several blocks working up and left to the anchor. Shared anchor with "The Prowler".

This is an enjoyable climb involving mostly crack on decent rock. Although this is usually climbed as a sport climb the FA was trad and can still be climbed as such. Bolts were placed to vastly improve rope management and to allow face climbing options right of the crack. A new anchor was installed on 7/3/20 with mussy hooks about 95' up. This a great climb for learning to place trad with bolts for back-up if needed.

This is an enjoyable route that becomes more interesting the higher you get.  The crux move is about 20' below the anchor.

This route is located 30 feet to the right of Cervesas in Zapata Land. Start in a shallow flare. A boulder problem start (crux) leads to a stance. Thin face moves lead to another stance with a left facing flake (pro) step right and mantle to the anchor. Easy to toprope after leading Five Finger Discount.

Start 10 feet to the right of Smooth Criminal. Climb a shallow corner placing a few small pieces along the way. When the crack pinches down step left to a stance. Make a thin face move working your way right then back left to another stance. Make another thin move to a cool knob and the shared anchor of Smooth Criminal.

Thin moves have you wander up moving left than right to a tricky move to obtain a horizontal dike of sorts. Continue to the right then up.
