The wall is characterized with slightly overhanging bullet sandstone littered with small pockets.   After working through the low steep crux head up and left fighting through some hard crimping that begins to ease after a couple of bolts.

The Phoenix

Watch out for some soft rock, PG13 for getting to high first bolt. May be slightly harder than 5.9

Threat Level Blue

Beautiful obvious corner crack. A slightly wide first 10 feet leads to excellent hand and toe jams.

Adventures of the Leper Nurse

This is a mostly chill route with a very difficult and pumpy crux.  Follows a beautiful obtuse arete into a very cool featured over hanging finish.

Begin up a easy start.  Follow ledges to a slightly tricky roof pull.  Get established over the roof and get your rest in for the technical crux above.  Start up the snaking arete using jugs which quickly turn into pockets.  Make a tough clip and figure out the next set of pockets to get to the jug below the next bolt (crux).  Pull up onto the ledge and begin to decipher which holds to use through the final overhanging section.  Hold off the pump to the anchors.

Bowling Pain

Cultural Wasteland

This is a good moderate dihedral that eats up gear and is a great option if you are in the area.  The route dries quickly compared to other lines at the wall.  The orange lichen look sort of like lava flowing out of the rock.

Start off making some easy step ups to get established in the dihedral.  Get to a wide section and make some difficult steps (crux).  Continue up using the face or dihedral to climb to the anchors, which are shared with No Sleep...

Alternative Medicines

Surmount several bulges using mostly pockets and open hand holds on high friction rock.  Enjoy a no-hands rest midway up left of the 4th bolt and find the "middle-finger" mono pocket to pull the crux move to the last bolt.  Finish right of the last bolt on tufa like formations.

The Speed of Enzo

This is a nice, steep route with a distinct crux at the second bolt, and pumpy, yet progressively easier climbing to the top.

Some powerful pulls on good pockets gets you over the starting bulge.  Make a tricky second clip, then muscle into a unique lie-back feature and tackle a thin crux on pockets to some better holds.  Endure a few more bolts of pumpy climbing until the difficulty relents a bit.  Fun, thoughtful slopers, and pockets lead to the chains.

Would get more starts if the rock in the top 1/3 of the route were a bit cleaner and less fragile.

Brothel Doc

Short crack climbing to a ledge, then joins "Maximus" to the rap station.

Hole

Great technical line with only a few moves at the grade.

Start near a tree at a dip in the trail.  Make a long move to get established on the iron horizontals.  Clip the first bolt and make the easy moves to the last bolt before the roof.  Make a difficult traverse to get established in the groove directly below the roof (crux).  Make a tricky reach to pull the roof and enjoy the easy slab to the top.

No Sleep Til' Campton

An interesting climb that will keep your attention the entire way.  Mostly face climbing with the occasional use of the arete.  Start just next to a rhodo at the base of a blunt arete.  Move up and right to a ledge to clip the first bolt.  Start moving up the arete and face using mostly crimpers.  A few good rests can be had on the right side of the arete.  Shake out and fire the last two bolts (crux) using the crimpers and high feet to span to better holds.

Optical Rectitus

Step off boulder onto black face, traverse right on small crimps to the arete and go up.  Definitely stick clip 1st bolt.

Stem Cell

This route shares a start with The Phoenix. Make a few moves out a steep roof and crank hard through a low crux. Take a shake, then cut right and get ready for fun sequential and sustained crimping that eases up at the last bolt.

King Solomon

Try to climb the jugs filled with the least amount of sand to a short, featured crack system that brings you to the top. Watch out for the choss!

Cousins

Climb the gently sloping face on small holds to a large hueco rest. Continue from the hueco out onto a beautiful arete, making use of micro-crimps and knobs as you make your way up this classic route. Don't forget to turn around and take in the gorgeous view from the anchors.
