Satisfy my soul

Vulture's tree

Bouldery opening moves lead to exciting edge pulls and mantels, then past thin slab climbing to hanging chains under roof.

A face climb starting on a ledge halfway up the cirque, heading up and diagonally right onto a slab with fantastic exposure. generally solid rock, a few loose stones at the start to watch out for. Crux comes somewhere around the 4th or 5th bolt.

An open-air rappel gets you to the base of the cirque. Tie knots on the ends of your rope.

route starts at the top of a bushy ledge above the 3 bolted lines on the right side of the slab. Climbs up the overhanging rock on the right side of the formation

Climb a broken crack system to a slab which ends up on a ledge with anchors. climb steps to a short wall the up the left side of the exposed wall towards a v-slot and anchor bolts

same start as Vultures tree, but follows the bolt line out right after you climb the tree.

Start on the arete and make balancy moves up and slightly left to a large ledge. Climb over two ledges at the top to bolted anchors.

there may be some loose rock on route.

Start at the cedar tree on the left side of the slab, climb for about 60' to an overhang, pull the overhang to a grassy ledge, climb about 50 feet of a corner system to a ledge with a madrone tree, finally to a 17 foot crack leading to a final ledge below a snag.

the book doesn't mention anchors...

slab for 20 feet to a madrone tree, look for 2 fixed pitons up and left under a roof, continue left to the base of a 12' corner for the crux, belay at a madrone tree. great to continue up Lord of Creation or Hummingbird.

Great holds on textured slab. 2nd to 3rd bolt is slightly run out, but easy climbing. Can be damp in a couple patches. 5th bolt is to the left on the large block. If you go past the large plant, you've gone too far. Might have to wrestle with the plant to set yourself up for the final move. Fun move up to the grassy ledge. Access Lord of Creation (5.7+) from this ledge. Great first multi-pitch if you link the two together.

climb up past 4 bolts to a ledge system and follow it left to a small roof and build a belay with small cams. make a short traverse left then climb directly up to the anchors.

Scramble the right side of the slab to the tree, then CLIMB THE TREE...surmount the overhang on the left. ascend the steep headwall over 3 bolts to the anchors at the top.
