The trail brings you to the base of this route. The first two bolts are shared with

This is the test piece for the cliff. It is balancy, delicate, and challenging. It is guaranteed to make you think. Climb the slab through a small overlap to anchors above.

Climb past slabby rock and an odd sequence to the second bolt. Another thin section beneath the roof leads to better hold. Test holds in the roof.

This has interesting and fun climbing up a right-arching feature. Unfortunately the rock is the worst at the cliff. Test holds carefully. This shares anchors with

Chicken Spider

. Please use care to reduce erosion below this climb.

Start where the trail hits the rock. Climb past two bolts (shared with

DCL

) then up to the visible notch through the overlap above. Be careful of loose rock through the groove.

This has creative, balancy climbing. Find your way through the delicate foot work to the jugs.

This is probably the best 5.9 at Halfway. It is definitely the cleanest. Climb up the minor arete at the bottom to the face and crux up top. A few longer draws might be nice higher up. This shares anchors with

Boomerang

.

Is this the best route at Halfway? Maybe if it was longer. It definitely has the most solid rock at the crag. Follow bolts and crimps up the black slab reaching a series of small ledges. If the leader is sketchin', the belay should be heads up till after the third clip .

Thin, slabby climbing leads to two over laps. This is fun and varied. Be careful of loose rock in the roofs, the 2nd roof has a block that will most likely go airborne in the future.
