Lower Rock

Safe Zone Locator (The lower rock area has 6 routes )
  1. 5.10b * steep, tricky, well protected left arete
  2. 5.9+/5.10- ** Obvious splitter finger crack. Good pro, but you have to hang on while placing it.
  3. Two moderate climbs on the right. The left route has one bolt, so bring some protection. The right most route is a 5.7 sport route that is thought provoking for 5.7
  4. Down and below these climbs are two crack routes. The left is 5.7 and the right one is 5.8 hands.

    Spire

    (The spire has 5 routes)
  5. Obvious 5.5 right arete *(as you approach) 5.5 sport route. Would be a great first lead.
  6. 5.8 mixed route . * Goes up face facing the road. 2 bolts, some gear needed. Steep start.
  7. South face 5.7 hands. Sort of dirty, loose slanting crack.
  8. 5.5 R/X west face A solo or TR.
  9. 5.8 The Swedish Cleaning Lady 2 bolt N. face route ( Has it's own 2 bolt anchor on top.) Watch out, short people ,on 1st clip. A short route.

    Wall Behind the Spire

    (3 routes)
  10. left arete (TR) 5.11 Hard, loose
  11. Water Babies 5.8 ** Goes up the middle of the face past bolts and a couple of Fixed pins. No pro needed . Quick draws only. 2 bolt anchor

    Small Formation across from The N. Face of the Spire

    ( One route )
  13. Saving Ryan's Privates 5.10c Crack (steep , awkward, and strenuous ).

    Upper Orange Face

    ( 4 routes )
  14. A3 Overhanging thin crack (Dangerous/scary?). Located on left side of Orange face area.
  15. 5.11 PG/R 2 or 3 bolts to right facing corner . Face moves are hard, with the upper cracks loose with protection problems.
  16. On the right of the Orange face are two face climbs.. Both are 5.9. The left one seems a tiny bit harder. I believe there is an anchor on top.
