Start up thin edges on a slab to a horizontal crack where the wall steepens. Higher, fun and interesting climbing past a cluster of three knobs segues into a finishing slab to anchors.

This climb, with the politically incorrect name, starts directly below the short vertical crack.

Begin on tiny and improbable edges, carefully working up the seam past one bolt to the horizontal. Get into the hand crack and follow up and right as it widens into a ledge. Finish at the anchor for Blue Collar.

This is a dangerous lead as a fall from the crux could land your back or head on the end of a block that is only a couple feet away from the wall, directly in line with the route. Starting this climb from that block yields a safe and fun climb that goes at about 5.8. Two stars for the moderate climbing above the R crux.

Descend via easy walk-off to the northeast, away from the climbs, or down-climb Knobulator.

Start below a large brown knob in the center of the face, about 5 feet right of the end of the horizontal crack. Small edges gain the first knob. Continue up past the knobs from the lower, steeper section and run it out from the second bolt on low angle slab. Finish at the anchor below the cap, shared with Knobulator. Good beginner's lead.

This low angle slab climb starts at the far right end of Knob Wall, from atop a large flake. Follow the line of big knobs up and left, passing a small roof on its left side. Finish up and left on even easier ground, to an anchor shared with Pimple Patrol. Fun kid's climb or warm-up solo.

This is one of the best routes in Box Springs! Starting just below the right end of the horizontal crack, climb up through a series of delicate crimps using all the technique in your arsenal. The first 15 feet are rather sustained for the grade; balance and sequence are the keys. Above the horizontal, your efforts are rewarded with lower-angle climbing on this wall's namesake knobs. Finish at a bolted anchor just below the apex of the wall, shared with the three routes to the left.

Release starts on the far left side of the wall, below the left end of the horizontal.

Climb through a series of thin edges to the horizontal. An interesting move laying back the good underclings of the horizontal and transitioning to the crimps above make up the heart of the crux. Continue on thin edges to the easy ramp that leads up and right to the anchor, shared with Blue Collar. Fairly sustained and a solid 5.10a in my opinion.
