This third climb on the wall starts on steep, crimpy face moves then cruises up mellow ground to another steep crux section at the anchor.

This is the second route on the cliff. It starts up a corner system that continues nearly all the way to the top of the face.  The crux consists of random bouldery moves followed by many good rests. 

Start on an overhanging, bulge crux, then follow bolts up to the anchor keeping on the face just left of the arete on the uphill side of the crag.

This is the last route on the cliff. Start clipping a bolt at head height, and pull through overhanging moves on large, sharp holds.  Continue up easy corner climbing to the anchor.

This route follows the long broken aret on the left end of the cliff two a two bolt anchor.  Three crux sequences are off the ground, the ledge and approaching the finish. Due to rope drag it is best to descend down the face and have a second person clean the draws or re climb the route.  This may very well be the best climb on the cliff and is well worth the fight. 

This is the fourth climb on the cliff and resembles Flower Drop.  A steep crux start gains easy ground with the second crux at the anchor. 

Airport Heights is a beautiful single pitch sport wall near the Valdez Airport. The crag can be see a few hundred feet up the  above the east end of the Runway and is the bottom right crag in a cluster of four cliffs.  It offers spectacular views of the valley, ocean and surrounding mountains.  All day sun and a moderate approach make this a great crag for after work or a leisurely weekend outing.  This wall contains six routes on mostly good quality rock.  Routes are between 20m and 25m long.  Dont forget the bug spray and a camera for some amazing sunsets.
