Warmup

Start up the slab corner shared with Instant Classic. Gain the beautiful face and where Instant Classic goes straight head left and up the face through ever increasingly difficult moves to the anchor.

This is the middle climb of the Three Stooges (the nice slab right of the large dihedral).  All Three Stooges share the same anchor.

Climb the finger crack a little left of an arete.  The climb shares anchors with Heelhook.

A bouldery sequence past two bolts gains the base of the roof. From there, about 50 feet of super fun powerful climbing leads to the crux sequence turning the lip. Follow five bolts up the beautiful face to a final 5.11 crux right near the top, unfortunately made a little harder by some unavoidable rope drag.

Climb the classic friction to the anchor.

Pull the interesting start and then face climb to the anchors.

Moderate face climbing trends right to the base of the giant roof. Make a tenuous step out left under the roof and work up to the anchor.

Juggy climbing leads to a short crimp crux over a bulge and then fun moderate climbing to the anchor.

This is another of the small granite crags near Cathedral Rock in the Pecos.  The prominent dihedral is the area's defining characteristic.  Routes, from left to right include: 

  Step Up:  5.9 (mixed)   Heelhook:  5.10c (bolts, same anchor as Step up), quality 

  Unknown:  5.10+? (bolts) 

  Nearly Classic:  5.11b (bolts, start as Instant Classic then left to the arete to a separate anchor)   Instant Classic:  5.11d (bolts), quality 

  Curley:  5.11b (bolts, Three Stooges all go to same anchor)   Larry:  5.10c (mixed), quality   Moe:  5.10b (bolts)
