Hours for Dollars and

are on the right side of the ledge system and around a corner from the first three routes. Hours steps up to an incipient crack on the left via some interesting 5.10 moves. Both it and

Get Rich

head for the same roof with Hours pulling the roof on the left and (5.10c) and Get Rich pulling from the right (5.10a).  Chase a few more bolts through some fun moves with good exposure to the anchor, which is out of sight until you get up to the last clip.

From the middle of the crag,  Fire The Boss angles a bit right up a short ramp with what was some surface debris. This has markedly improved over the years, but some the starting rock is still friable. Nonetheless, Fire The Boss still kicks up some fine climbing. Chase four bolts of 5.10 climbing to a complex sequence into a corner system and over the roof.  The crux is in getting bcak on the feet after turning the corner, and this is a fun sequence on great stone.

Climb the moderate face to a rest, then pull a juggy roof move to find yourself at the start of the crux. Enjoy hard climbing on the arete for the second half.

There is a cruxy and beta-intensive roof move on this one! This is Clear Creek at its best with hard climbing that's separated by a monster rest in the middle. The 12d crimping on the second half is worth climbing even if you don't figure out the initial roof crux.

I am surprised this one is not in the database yet. This and

Free Enterprise

are the best of the five routes at the Upper Capitalist.

A crumbly start is followed by clever stem moves in an open dihedral. An easy mantle sets you up for the roof. Pull over on straightforward and powerful jug hauling. Finish with an insecure step from the slab to reach the anchors.

The left most route, Free Enterprise follows a small corner system for a couple of clips at 5.11 and then fires straight through the roof. A space of 5.11d/5.12a comes in pulling the roof and moving up the corner above the roof. Things run out a bit at the top on frictional climbing at 5.9.

This is a link-up.

It is a great way to finish

Capital Punishment

and adds a crux at the end. You get superb crimping on the second half of this one!

This is a nice warm-up for the cliff.  It is the furthest right of the 5 climbs on the cliff and faces East.

It's best to park at the West end of tunnel 2 and hike to tunnel 3.  Then head south about 200 yards to the cliff.  Ascend a brief scree gully.  Start next to the spray painted name on the rock. A #2 Camalot or #3 Friend is nice for the belay.

Clip 7-8 reasonably-spaced bolts using big holds on solid rock.  The crux is pulling past the bulge between the 3rd and 4th bolts.  Either lieback or use a big stem.  Note, the finish has slick rock.  The anchors do sit a bit back from the top and are widely-spaced likely due to the rock quality.  This shares the anchor with

.  Apparently, this has cleaned up over the years.  Watch for sharp burrs from plant material when you pull your rope.
