Probably the best route in the Dells.  Approach pitch, to amazing splitter crack up high.  On the wall directly behind the High Rappel wall.  as you walk right along the wall, the wall will end, and look up and see the obvious splitter behind the High Rappel wall.

This is a fun and pretty steep/pumpy route!  Fairly easy to set up as a top rope.  Some will find this route a bit "heads up" to lead: don't blow any clips, and bring a rack of singles from small tcus  to #3 camalot.  Maybe 11c for the onsite lead.  There are very few easier moves on this thing.  First move off the ground is tough, and it gets harder.  Crux in the lower third of the route, and is a bit mysterious to find the sequence of moves in a timely fashion.   Especially the move getting past the second bolt.  Funky route finding at the end.  If you like 5.11 dells climbing, and have not done this, it is a worthy route!

The Rock Climbing Arizona, Green, guide calls this a 2 pitch climb, but there's no reason to not do it in 1 pitch.  Start under the obvious thin Cling of Pain (King Cling) Crack and climb up easy rock and follow a low angle ramp to the base of the corner.  Ramp and start (5.5).  Climb the thin dihedral up to the top.  It has great stemming, a few hand jams, and a nice horizonal in the right wall.  The rock in the crack is a bit crumbly, but not scary.

To the right of the 5.8 corner is a seam/crack in the middle of the smooth face.  Climb chunky rock to the base of this.  Clip the bolt and crimp up to better holds and another bolt.  Move up and left dropping in a piece or two and work your way to another bolt and a boulder problem crux.  Old school open coldshuts await you at the top.

Climb the slabby face past 2 bolts to reach a left leaning finger crack on the far right side of the wall.  The crux is getting past the first 2 bolts.  The upper crack is really nice, but short and is much thinner than it appears from the ground.

P1 (5.9):Start from the Oak tree and head up past 3 bolts.  A Supplemental cam can be placed between 1st and 2nd bolts.  Belay or rap from bolted anchors.  If continuing on to the 2nd pitch it may be wiser to belay at rap anchors to the left (short traverse).   P2 (5.10a): Climb past 3 bolts to Oak tree.  Rap tree.

A seperate little area around the south end of the main wall.
