This has great face climbing on just less than vertical rock that gets slightly harder as you climb higher.  It has a cool position with an arching arete that falls away to your left.  Thanks to Amber and Ron from Montrose for donating to the bolt fund to help create this route.

This is a cool, left-trending route perched on a face between a falling arete on the left and a curling wave dihedral to the right.  Fun climbing and varied climbing on slighty dirty rock that should clean up with traffic.  I trundled LOTS of loose blocks off this one!  It is a steep, slabby face to a bulge then overhanging stem moves.

This has less-than-vertical face climbing with many holds of all sizes and integrity.  Choose wisely (good alpine training).  This route was down-graded during the first ascent.

This is a relatively new route on the wall. Expect to encounter loose blocks.

This THE historical top-rope route of the crag!  A classic. It was trundled and retro-bolted in 2011.  This is the leftmost route in the belay gully on a dead vertical face.  Start up a left-trending ramp for several bolts, get over some big ledge syndrome, and step out right and up to a face crux.  Pull through some juggy, airy overhangs up high.  Slap a hand over the very top of the dike near a resilient pinyon and clip the anchor.

This line is a littler spicier and a little spookier than

.  A steep, thin start leads to a hollow section 1/2 way up, then awesome steep jugs to the anchor.  It's possible to top rope this route via a directional from the anchors of

This is a slightly overhanging face climb with a few thin moves down low and lots of air up high.  It is the second route from the left end of the belay gully, just right of

.

Start by pulling over a fun bulge past a cool cactus (gently enjoy but don't touch), then go up a fun face (crux) to the last bolt and anchor for

Climb delicately past 9 bolts to a sheltered two bolt anchor. A good bit of rock was excavated while installing this route. There is likely more loose rock that will exfoliate with increasing traffic.
