Crux is right after the 3rd bolt.  Maybe 10+, but well protected.  In the shade most of the day.

Cinco de Mayo Variation

Cul de Sac Crack

Wild Wild West

TeaPot Traverse

Spout Route: great new route! South side 12bolt sport pitch almost has a crux for every bolt (5.10-) Pitch 2 is a beautiful splitter corner to the West notch(5.9). from there the route wanders across ledges on the North face to the Eastern notch, from the E notch clip a bolt and traverse ledges back to the west end (5.7). final pitch has crazy exposure as you climb past 5 or 6 bolts traversing under the west roof to the summit on the south side(5.10+). rap off with one 60m.

Pitch 1: (5.9) Move carefully past loose rock  to gain a splitter hand crack. Pitch 2: (5.9) Move belay left past 2 bolts (5.5),  and continue straight up up (5.9).

Really more of a mountaineering adventure.   climb the N E face of the teapot handle past a bolt (crux) to a good ledge and traverse left. Then it's pretty much a 4th or an easy 5th class solo up the east ridge to the summit of the handle. simul-needle rap off the west end to the notch. 5.7move off the narrow saddle to a ledge and a nice hand crack leading to a steep 5.9 ow to the top of the teapot. scramble down the west end to a rap station, rap to the next notch. poor pro leads to a descent bolt and a 5.7 move traversing to the north side of the spout ending at the west end and a 2bolt anchor. climb the awkward crack (5.10) or the Cinco de Mayo or Bircham Tatum variation to the final summit. rap dbl rope to the north side or twice single rope to the south side.

Sunny and exposed on the teapot traverse.  Routes up the spout are sunny or shady depending on which one you do.
