This beautiful line soaks up the sun in Willow Springs. It features tricky double finger cracks down low and a stellar overhanging, left-slanting hand crack above.

Climb the initial easiness shared with Spiderline, build an anchor on hand-size cams on the left end of the ledge. Climb left, heading up to a (now) fat bolt on decent but thin holds. Climb the face above, looking intently for gear, then slab it out to the shared top ledge/tree with Spiderline. A heady, old-school route, but at least the bolt's good-it was solidly X-rated when I lead this on the original paper-thin SMC hanger and a shorty quarter-incher that left a long rust streak to remember it by. Thanks to the ASCA for the replacement.

Okay face climb to ledge to the left of and below Sin City. Passing the time during a crack climbing class at Red Rock Rendezvous with no crack climbs available. There's one nice hand jam/undercling about halfway up, below where the black varnish starts.

This is the obvious second pitch to Karate Crack. From the top of that route, move left around the corner and climb the righthand leaning flake to a big move, then continue up the easier, pretty dihedral to an anchor.

 This is a stout line - a bit sandy but good, bouldery fun. Finger size and ability to power-lieback will likely shift the grade one way or the other in the 5.12 spectrum.

Climb crack and face to its right up to ledge.  Climb featured face near the left edge of the black varnish through a small bulge at the very top (easy).   Climbing is usually positive, but the pro is thoughtful.

A beasty Roof problem with a direct overhanging crack that flares to offwidth, or take a traversing escape(5.10a?). I did Both.

This is a short but steep, varied crack with enjoyable yet strenuous jamming close to the road.  The rock quality, for the most part, is good very solid.  Follow the obvious crack to the right of the corner proper (the crack system closer to the road, it is fairly obvious) to the top.  Make athletic moves up and then pull over the final moves and wander up low angle rock to an anchor tree.

At the end of the pavement in Willow Springs Area is a small picnic area on the right, at the source of the springs under some nice trees. There is an outhouse here, and this wall is directly behind it.
