Ascend less-than-vertical nothingness using shallow dishes.  Pull a small lip by means of an undercling pinch and minuscule feet to obtain the first bolt.  Inch up using crimps, mantles, and smears until you are finally able to rock up into a casual stance.  After the second bolt the climbing eases in difficulty but remains thoughtful. 

  While low-angle slab climbing repulses the current generation of climbers, I personally love the style and thus immensely enjoyed this line.  Delicately dancing up a sheet of glass has a beauty and tranquility missing from the popular thuggish routes.

A delicate, fun seam that gets progressively easier.  The crux comes prior to the first bolt but can be protected with a nut if one is persistent.  I was amazed and grateful that the crux protects as well as it did.

Teetering On The Brink Of Madness is a seldom climbed route on slightly undulating face.  Surmount each bulge with delicate feet and small crimps to gain a no hands rest.  Repeat until reaching the anchor tree.  

  Since the route sees little traffic many of the crimps and tiny feet are friable and will break away when used.  Additionally the bolts seem to placed to draw the climber right rather than following the natural weakness to the left.  At present this route is recommended only for completists trying to avoid the harder, burlier lines.

This route shares the same start as Rocket Man.  Climb a tricky face protected by a bolt to a low angle ramp.  Climb the slightly right leaning face/crack to a notch at the top of the wall.

Slightly contrived hard move to the right just after leaving the ground.  After that a good bit of lower angle rock with mantle moves to a steeper thin finish.

Less-than-vertical crimping leads up and past the first bolt where one must decipher a sequence to obtain a small ledge.  Clip the second bolt and stretch your fingers before pulling a plated bulge with larger but less-than-ideal holds.  After this the climb significantly eases in difficulty while increasing in quality.  Scamper up featured, undulating rock to the chains.

Space Cowboy's harder, scarier and less interesting twin brother.  This climb sports several difficult bulge/mantle moves, at least one of which (just after the first non-Space Cowboy bolt) is poorly protected and has serious ledge fall risk.  The midway crux is reasonably well protected, but very cryptic and involves high feet and either a sideways mantle or some nasty crimps.  Felt 5.11 at first, but a second attempt revealed a 5.10(+) method.

 I must admit that I have only inspected this route on TR solo. It's a bold lead that I'll have to come back to.  Plan on doing hard moves in no-fall territory and less-than-ideal pro.  On the bright side, the bolts are brand new (replaced by CASA in 2016).

 Well worth top-roping after leading Space Cowboy if you're not up for the lead.

This is the bolted face climb on the far right side of Wind Wall.  There are a number of bulges on this route which require good balance and some patience.

This route starts at a low angle ramp just left of the middle of Wind Wall.  Face climb past three bolts to a crack in a groove.  The crux is a tricky sequence right around the third bolt.

This climb starts about 15 feet to the right of Space Cowboy and shares the same start with Spaceman Spiff.  Climb a tricky face protected by a bolt to a low angle ramp.  Follow a few bolts up a face with a faint discontinuous crack to the top.

Steve had barely turned 21 when he led Be Here Now in 1979, one of the first of his many ground-up on-sight R and X rated leads scattered throughout Arizona.  Even by then, Steve was renown for his ability to find gear, armed with somewhat newly introduced RPs (the first micro nuts) and solid-stem Friends, and an amazing ability to remain perfectly calm while searching for holds and executing difficult moves far from pro.  This route, thankfully, remains essentially as Steve found it, for those that may be on a similar path — or for those of us who are satisfied with a top rope!Be Here Now starts up an easy slab to an obvious crack that takes a few good cams until it peters out, then links discontinuous cracks through a juggy headwall to the top.  The R rated part is hard moves maybe 15 feet up and right from a nest of micro nuts, although other gear may be found in the vicinity (double ropes may be useful).  The rest is reasonably well protected, if you find the right line!  There are no anchors on top, but a large boulder set quite a ways back can be looped with the rope to arrange a belay. 

This is a sunny southwest facing wall that features some fun climbs which require mostly balance, stemming and mantling.  The sequences on many of the climbs are not straight forward and will require creative footwork.  All of the routes can be easily top roped via chain anchors at the top of the cliff.  Space Cowboy 5.9+ should not be missed.
