Climb the middle black streak past layback features, jugs, big reaches, and a high solution pocket. A striking line for the grade.

Voodoo Blues

Ice Pick

Using left hand layback features (both?) go up orange steep face to edges and ultra spooky top out.

Climbs along the first black streak. Start out of the chasm on good underclings which quickly lead to better edges, more side pulls, and a welcomed jug.

The hardest line by far on the wall, this beast is no gimme. Climbs steep, hard crimps to the right of the Voodoo Blues streak. Good luck.

A challenging line that might bring out the worst in you.... Starts in chasm on a big hold.  Move up past two side by side holds, and then up and right into a finger stack. That's when things get rough.

Awesome rock! Start on ground with a conspicuous sidepull. Move up through crystaly holds to a horn jug. Move up and right on big holds. Sort of starts above some smaller boulders in the chasm if I remember correctly.

A fantastic problem which climbs the center line between the first two black streaks. Start on good underclings, and pop up to an awesome finger bucket. Move up, and a bit left past bolt.

Probably the most classic line on the wall, this was always my favorite here. 

  Using hard edges off the deck, move up and right through tricky holds along the split black water streak. A few slopers, a couple of big moves, and if you send, a big ole grin on your face.

The direct start to Ice Breaker.... A cool line, which lets you get to boulder past bolts....

Back in 1999 I found myself staring at geourgous granite features above a debri filled chasm in the middle of Thor's Wall, to the right of the bolted routes. It took a full day to clear the chasm of dead bushes, huge rotten logs, and an impressive amount of throat choking tumble weed.

 The result, however, was well worth the effort. After rapping and scrubbing the lines, I knew I was onto some of the best highball bouldering around Prescott. I did most the FAs by myself with a single midget pad, but it wasn't long before I had friends there sampling the goods. All the lines were quickly repeated by Danny Schwarz and Mike Gasch. Mike was also able to send the only true project on the wall, which we thought was V8 or V9, but this was a while back. With this line, Wide Open Gasch, a new difficulty came to Watson Lake, which is really known for its tall, scenic moderate problems.

 The problems listed here start down in the chasm, with Crystal Witches being the left most line. Though these lines push the 25'-30' mark, the way the wall is set up, one can jump back to the far side of the chasm at about 15' which is kind of rad. All the lines top out on a traverse ledge, with a convenient down climb on the climber's right by a tree. Some of these lines pass bolts, but if your into this kind of climbing that shouldn't bother you none.
