Technical slab route that's tricky right off the ground and makes you work for the last few feet. Enjoyable technical moves the whole way up.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a good slab climb!

Dead Painters' Society

From a pointed block ease your way up the chimney, looking for holds on the left and right.  Work your way up and left over blocky terrain to a hanging flake.  Pull and sling the tree.

Seventh Sign

The bottom slab will throw a few techy moves at you, and may go at 5.11+. The head wall is where the true crux lay, extremely cryptic crux, that is only made more so by the preponderance of lichen on the wall. If you have fat fingers and don't love long moves, high feet and small SMALL holds walk away...

De-Funked

Classic NRG route with good variety...crack (tips-fingers-hands), thin face/slab (crux), and steep flake (layback).

Climb crack to vertical slot mid-route. Protect well, solve slabby crux and move up face to nice horizontal. Then, follow left-leaning crack to flake and proceed to the top. Crux is brief, but technical, and requires some thought.

Pro is good.

Mellifluous

The crux is relatively low, you will likely be finding your own path without the aid of chalk as this is a less trafficked route.

The Ribbon

Another great face climb.

Start just left of Mellifluous and dance up the cruxy slab to better holds and steep rock at the top.

The Magnificent Pudcasso

Begin at the base of a chimney on a mud ramp. Probably best to stick clip the first low bolt, then wiggle up and step onto the left wall and preform a technical and balancy move leftward towards a left rising positive flake.  Climb up and slightly right to the routes namesake hold and get great gear. Follow holds up to a pin (can be backed up with a blue slider) and a good stance, then prepare to knuckle down thru another pin and bolt. Follow easier terrain up to a tree for an anchor. A thought provoking and technical masterpiece. Classic NRG mixed climbing.

The Whetterbox

There is a crux on the slab low and one on the head wall. The name comes from the fact that if you are getting a bad belay and fall on the head wall you may crater to the ledge below.

Is it Safe?

Traverse up and left for about 25 ft toward the arete.  Just before the arete, get some good gear in a horizontal.  Continue up the arete for a few moves until you can find some good holds on the left side of the arete.  Continue up the left side of the arete over a white slab.  You can stop at the anchors of Stim O Stam, or continue up the left side of the arete to the top.   At the point where you pass the anchors of Stim 0 Stam, there is very little gear and the finish is pretty much the same as Flyin' Hawaiian.  This is a spectacular climb and would be much more popular if there was more gear.  The gear is sufficient, but sometimes pretty far apart.  If you stop at the anchors on Stim O Stam, it's much less scary and in my opinion you get the best part of the climb!

The Prowesse

Extremely cerebral climbing, lots of meandering, traversing, and subtlety as you move up beautiful faces and over a few little roofs.  It might feel a bit harder than the grade, and some of the bolts are a bit far apart, but this thing is nonetheless really good.

New Age Equippers

Inside the corridor where the ladder spits you out look for a bolt. The left line is George of the Gorge. Make a few moves up to the first bolt then traverse left on easy moves. Continue up good holds face climbing and clipping bolts on your way to the anchors.  This is one of Endless's rare single-digit bolted lines, but it's not a gimme for the grade.

George of the Gorge

Quality hard, reachy slab climbing on Nuttall Sandstone! Start on Le Futuriste with the same tricky sequence over the low roof, but move left after you get stood up. The crux comes right at bolts 2-3 with incredibly tricky footwork, two half pad monos, and an awkward hop to a sloping pocket. A brief rest at the base of the dihedral will hopefully get you psyched for the bizarre stemming sequence that follows. Once you've pulled out of the dihedral, you've got it made– it's just a few more bolts of fun 5.10+-ish climbing on blocky and sometimes friable holds.

This line is not attempted too often, and you'll almost certainly have to give the lichen dust a bit of a brushing on the bottom slab crux. And yeah, this is our idea of a one-star climb at Endless; we're sandstone snobs and need to keep the masses honest.

Eurobics

This route starts with insecure off-fingers in a steep dihedral. Eventually you get a little stance around the corner on the face, before pulling what some folks consider the crux– blind handjams out a small roof with mediocre feet. Follow the crack farther up, until it disappears. A devious and slightly heady face sequence guards the anchors and reminds you that this is not just a crack climb.

Linear Encounters

Overhanging start, then climb the face toward the pin.  From the pin, trend right to the left side of the arete and follow to the top.  Climbing near the top gets a little exciting.  Take any gear you find as you head up the last 30 Ft.  Good route for a solid 5.9 leader.

The Flyin' Hawaiian

The first bolt is flattened due to the old tree anchor falling on it. The moves will feel hard if you don't like slab and if you are short.

Terminus

Very hard crux for a 5.12a, this could be made significantly easier with a good rappel brushing. The crux is very long to holds that are currently covered in a thick lichen film. The crux is 4 bolts up, the chains are also difficult to gain.

Dangerous Liasons

The crux is a thin balancy midway up. Get comfortable pulling your foot next to your foot next to your hand and rocking up. This is a very fun route and just like it's left slab twin would be grand with some cleaning.

The Exqueetion

This is an much nicer climb than the name implies, worth doing.  Climb the hand crack to bombay groove(crux) and up to a small pine.

Nasty Groove

This thing is another classic endless wall arête climb. Start on the roof and make some moves up utilizing some sharp crimps and smeary feet. At the second bolt decide to either dyno or put a foot at your chest and stand up. Once out on the arête make use of the holds and work your up to an interesting 3 crimp/jug hold. There is a semi-difficult clip mixed somewhere in with all of this. End this beauty with one more long reach or two up and right and you are in easy terrain.

Le Futuriste

Start on George of the Gorge and instead of breaking left after the second bolt continue up through 4 more bolts with some balancy moves on crimps.
