Steep slab route with good friction and positive, yet small edges.

Space Face

This line drew my eye the first time I visited exit 38. Super techy slab moves on thin feet. Crux is getting to the small ledge directly below the 4th bolt. The style would make for a fantastic first .11 lead.

Sorry, We Came Early

Mostly vertical climb up big jugs, with a great view of Snoqualmie Pass from the top. A new first bolt has been added recently in the wide slabby corner that marks the start. There's another bolto to the left for a 5.8 start and causes some rope drag so if you want to use that put a longer sling on it.

There's a bit of noise and a small bit where climber and belayer aren't visible. Yell loudly or use radios or rope signals.

Kiss of the Crowbar

Climb around several small roofs at the begining up to steep and easier climbing above.

Missing the Taco

Some slab climbing to start with leads up through a bunch of broken roofs with a distinctly alpine feel to some nice views at the top of the formation.

Attack of the Butter Knives

Pretty standard for EB, fun lower part with much easier upper part. Chains below the dead tree.

Ghosts Of War

Tech your way through the first few bolts, then find a no hands rest below the roof. Grab the big hold, clip the bolt if you can or just mantle. Finish at the chains on the big ledge.

Hurricane

No cruxes, all very easy. Heavily overrated. A fun jug haul climb though.

Ellie's Sweet Kiss

The cruxes are pulling two roofs throughout this climb. The anchors are in a poor location for belaying at the top or top roping. If you choose to lower and top rope your second you'll need to clean several draws on the way down.

Strategic Placement

Guidebook rates it at 5.7, but if climbing the line of bolts, I would not say it's any easier than 5.8s surrounding it.

Piece Maker

A couple of thin moves gain awkward climbing passing the Block of Doom on the right, to a mantle and two bolts of slab to the chains.

Lip Service/Phone Threats

Start in a right-facing corner with a tricky move, then pull over a lip on jugs and run it out to the face above.  A series of horizontal, slopey rails will bring you to the anchor.

Violent Threats From The Guidebook Bully

One of the longest routes on this section of the wall. Upper part has a little overhang so it's a little different than the surrounding routes.

EB-5

An awkward move past the first bolt leads to a jug haul through the tunnel and to the chains. Pulling on the Block of Doom helps getting through.

Tunnel of Love/Delightful Cacophony Funneled Within

First route to the right of the gully below the Block of Doom. Shares anchor with Space Face and Sorry, We Came Early.

Impartial Eclipse

Pretty much regular EB route with good holds and a "walkable" part in the middle of the route.
