Staying off of the right wall or corner (the rules), climb the finger crack to the top. Sees little traffic so it is a bit dirty.

Climb the thin crack when it runs out, continue up the black rock face on anorexic / thin holds leading to a slot. Move past a horizontal stepping left and pull the roof following the broken crack to the cedar tree directly above.

Follow an arete up and over a roof (crux one) to a pin and optional ball-nut placement. Move left to the arete (crux two) and continue climbing one of the best aretes in maryland.

 Use the anchors; topping out this route puts you right at the overlook. Keeping a low profile can only help access.

Climb up the left-facing overhaning corner to where it turns into a small roof. Climb over the roof and up the fractured line of rock left of a sheer face. When you hit a ledge 30 feet up, move right around an arete into a slightly overhanging  face on decent holds.

Climb the prominent left-rising crack system to a small blocky ledge. Climb straight upward to the roof capping the wall. Climb directly over the roof to an airy ledge. Scramble up and off.

Begin climbing Baby Burn but climb straight up the left side of the wall to the top, rather than trending rightward with the crack. There is a small overlap near the top to deal with.

Climb the prominent left-rising crack system to a small blocky ledge. Climb straight upward to the roof capping the wall. Climb around the left side of the roof to an airy ledge. Scramble up and off.

Follow an ever widening crack that flares out real wide (#6) at the top. Juggy moves and solid feet lead to a vertical move or two. This route follows the crack but using face holds along the way. Tops out onto an airy ledge with lots of loose blocks and extremely sharp edges. Walk off to the overlook OR scramble down to the gully on climbers right at the top and rap off the pine trees with tat.

Climbs up the left side of the wall in a left-facing corner. Finishes at a funky curved forked tree.

Begin in the center of the wall at the right end of a ramp. Climb up to about where two cracks meet and head up left along a crack until you can access a main crack that goes to the top

Follow the ever widening crack that flares out real wide (#6) at the top. Juggy moves and solid feet lead to a wide crack. The "rules" of this route are once you are to the proper off-width section you only use holds and jams inside the off-width. Feet are nice and fair game all over. Would likely go around 5.9 if you applied the same rules to the feet. Fun pitch, Worthy of a rip!Traverse left at the top for a great crack for a gear anchor, or top out onto an airy ledge with lots of loose blocks and extremely sharp edges. Walk off to the overlook or scamble down to the gully on climbers right at the top and rap off the pine trees with tat. 

Begins on the right end of the wall just left of a tree. Climb up and a little right dealing with the tree. Keep going up the face near the arete. If you get out around the arete it gets too easy so stay left. When you get to a broad ledge with loos blocks keep going on the last 20 feet of Blackwinter.

A sketchy but easy first pitch followed by a hard, well-protected 5.8 pitch that's tough to the end.

Begin left of Deceptive about where it tops out. Climb a backward "C" shaped crack (to the right of Wasted). The crack curves left near the top but continue straight up the face to top out.

Start just left of a 6 inch wide ledge about 4 feet off the ground. Climb straight up the middle of the wall. It steepens near the top but your find a nice handjam in a horizontal

Start at the base of the arete and climb The Broadcast to the roof. At the roof, make a move or two towards the teardrop-shaped flake on your right. At the hollow teardrop flake, follow the seams that trend up and right to some easier rock where you can then gradually climb towards the anchor.

Climbs the obvious crack (flaring) 15 feet left and around a corner from a cedar tree. Climb up the left-facing corner to its end, continue upward taking a right-leaning crack up through a roof to the top.

Start on the left side of the wall at the right side of a small, foot wide ledge about 5 feet off the ground. Climb the most obvious thin crack rising rightward up to a large vertical crack. Climb straight up from there. The name comes from the first ascent happening mid-summer on a 100 degree day in the sun.

A collection of short walls form 25 to 70 feet tall and one free standing pillar.  Some of the walls can be linked together to create a multi pitch climb to the top of the cliff.  There are some good routes here in this lesser visited section of Maryland heights, just beware some walls have loose rock and ledges can be bushy.
