Another perfect granite arete in Leavenworth. Clean rock, great position, and a little spicy feel make this climb incredibly special, and worth the hike up to the Airfield.

Start standing with a crimp for left hand and a right hand sloper on arete. A few slaps and crimps lead to a satisfying mantle.

start on a chest high sloper and incut crimp, go straight up

Fun big movement on small, smooth, funky, non-injurious holds on a nice shield of rock.

Start on the chest high holds and make your way up and right to finish on good holds.

Like Agape, but start sitting to the right of the regular start on two opposing sidepulls and some low feet. Move straight up over the prow.

Start matched in the left side of the cave on a blocky hold that is an incut edge, gaston, and undercling all in one. The book calls this a "gaston meatwrap." Move right to sidepulls and up over the prow. Climbs quite well.

Start matched on a sloping shelf and dyno up to the sloping rail. Match, throw a heel and climb to the right and up using small edges and good body tension.

Start standing on a big crimp. Use a high right sloping foothold to stand up onto the slab, make a few tricky moves, then press out the top.

I'm surprised this thing has so little traffic. It climbs quite well with a fun, powerful bottom and technical top. If the rock quality was better, it would be 4 stars in my opinion.

Start on the lowest left facing sidepull to the right of the tree. Climb straight up using sidepulls, pockets, and crimps for a slabby finish with some hard to see feet.

The original name of this route is born of a racist tradition. If you don't recognize the route name in the guidebook, that's why.

Start matched on a great crimp in the center of the cliffband. Two moves to match the sloping lip and a mantle await. It's actually kind of fun despite the looks. The guidebook gave this a V5, but I thought it was closer to V2. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and call it a V4, but hopefully more people can offer some opinions.

I started matched on the arete with a high right heel hook and move left hand out to side pull. Work your feet up and slap your right hand up a couple times. Throw big left up to a good edge and squeeze and continue bump up. Move right and top out on small feet with jugs on top. Really good movement.

start on goo triangular ledge and move right to a good jug, make moves up and left on crimps to below the lip and top out.

Like Tombstone, but start sitting to the right of the regular start on two crimps. Make a big move left to the sloper, then move right to jugs and left to crimps. Mantling to the left is easier, just don't use the adjacent rock.

Start in the V-shaped notch. Climb up and left on slopers. The top-out jugs are dirty at the time of posting.

Start on two crimps. Move right to a big sidepull, topping out on jugs. First few moves are fun.

One of the most fun juggy problems in the whole canyon, but you have to hike pretty far uphill to find it.

Climb up the left side of the Turnover/Croissant boulder, with big jugs all the way.
