Start right at the waist-high ledge at the base of the pedestal and go straight up and then left at the end to finish on the good ledge.

Start just left of Anastasis with a high left side pull and a small carbonite pocket.  Move up and into the good edge and then into the high pocket and end in the seam.

Same as Grady but eliminate the high ledge system, staying on the lower holds, topping out same as Grady.

Start same as Grady.  Climb through the large diagonal crack above the Grady line and top out in the middle of the bulge right of Grady.

Start in the large obvious pocket up in the corner left of the Mermaid Carving.  Traverse right to the large crack dividing the wall and then up, go as far as you want as the crack is usually pretty muddy and a mess.

Start a few feet left of Mini Crack, grab an edge at chest level and shoot for the top block slightly left.

Start with a right hand side-pull on the right side of the arete at chest height and your left on a side-pull in some carbonate deposit hold. Step your left foot anywhere you can get a clean foot and match your right heel to your right hand and go. The problem ends at the very large side-pull in the shield hold.  Low start on opposing side pull right below the traditional start.  Tends to be set in the super but dry in the off seasons.  Its a good start to a great problem and not adding to the grade but it does get you full points on the problem.

Same start as the Trick, eliminate the arete and climb straight up using a small edge high and right.

Sit start with both hands as low as you can go with your left heel hooked and placed in a slight depression. Continue up the arete and top out at the end. A great little warm up.

Start eight feet left of Finesse on high starter block and end matched on the same ledge system as Finesse. 

Same as WG Cundey Eliminate but continue right one more move into a small edge under the feature and then go straight up finishing on good edges 10 feet up and drop.  The large feature used for the route proper is still off.

Start to the right and under the main bulge of the park, just left of Doug's Roof.  This is the Ballerina bulge and holds some of the best problmes at the park.  Start low on right edge and left on the sidepull.  Climb straight up, move over left into the book and finish with a top out.  Ballerina High starts after the crux of the low problem and is much easier.

Eliminate - Start on the left of the Buns Bulge low below the obvious ledge bisecting the bulge.  Start hold has hands stacked below eliminated ledge climbing on the lower set of holds into a deep/good pocket then top out same as Buns Machine Gun High.A rock broke sometime in 2020 creating another good hold on the line making it somewhat softer than the V5 assigned but it's still a good problem with a solid top out.

Sit start on low holds on the far right side if the Yellow Wall.  Move up and slightly right staying on the arete and off the large holds around the corner.  Drop once you get into choss or go for the top and cross your fingers.

Start left of the arete and just left of the "9" carved into the rock above.  Climb up through crimps into seem and up into the backwards "P" carving finishing on the ledge.  This is the highest boulder problem and is typically done on a rope.  Topping out onto the ledge is easy enough but there is still some choss to be climbed after that to get all the way on top and a fall could easily be lethal.

Start on either end of the wall traversing and staying below the 6' mark or so.  Good warm up area and usually the driest spot in the park.

Start on good edges at the six foot level and go all the way up the the large ledge about 12' up.  Going to the lower ledge is called the Jaundice Jump.

Sit start on the rock in front of the sun and up through the the large crack

Start 4' left of Saving Grace and a little lower in a large undercling pocket.  Climb straight up topping out on the Saving Grace Bulge.

with your left hand in a slot, and your right hand on a nice flat edge, put your foot up high and jump up finding the jug on the left side of the long rail.

 

Same start as Wheeties except move left into the good pocket on the orange streak and then up.  Solid problem, super bad angled landing makes it rarely climbed.

Eliminate - Same start as the Mantle Problem, eliminate all holds on the sides of the roof and go straight out instead of finishing up and left.

Start down and right from the carving at a chest high ledge.  Move p and angled right into the top of the carving and match in the hold created my her high hand and drop or top out.  This is another of GL's older lines, the railroad ties make it a tough landing cruxing out directly over them.

Start left of Ludwig's Dude on small pockets.  Move up and right into the slash, grab the bad side pull with left and jump to finish on the ledge.  Top rope to finish to the top.  Jamie Emerson first finished this is in 2000 and it stood as the hardest problem in the park until recently with Dylan Bark's V10 D-Bag.3 Pads minimum.

Best Dyno at the park.  Left hand on a decent sidepull and right on an edge, paste your feet and go out right to a big slash.  Match and call it good, gain the face or top out into dirt.

Long black streak of rock, climber's left of "Saving Grace." Standard traverse is left to right.

Start left of the “SAVING GRACE 8/5/27”   engraving on the overhanging slopey bulge.

Start on the jug 4’ left and below the engraving and climb up into the   faint water groove avoiding the huge ledges to the rightStart left of the “SAVING GRACE 8/5/27” engraving on the overhanging slopey bulge. Start on the jug 4’ left and below the engraving and climb up into the faint water groove avoiding the huge ledges to the right.

Same start as Enigma and get into the left side pull and cross over into the slash on Heart and Soul, then up into the finishing large pocket.

Start on a bad left crimp and a smaller right edge and throw out right to a decent side pull.  Climb straight up and into the right most part of the mermaid carving, then into the right of the two obvious small pockets and up.  Gear up for one final big move into a jug a few feet below the lip.  Top out or drop high from the jugs, may as well top out from this point.Traversing left or right is not part of this problem as there are lines next to this one and that will get you into easier climbing.  Getting off the ground can be tricky as this is the hardest start at the park.  The line goes straight up to an alright top out, although a bit high.The development of this problem took a winding road as the initial pursuit was to find Wall Street which was last mentioned in a guide published in the 90's from Trails Edge that went at 5.11+.  Two Peace was the result of the initial pursuit and then rediscovering Wall Street to the left

followed.  The thin slot to start Peace was then established with its own top out coming next resulting in this line that stands on its own without any eliminates that is sustained the entire climb.

Start on Saving Grace starter block and dyno to the good rail above, match and top out.

Start just left of Intergalactic Quaalude Trip on a high right diagonal good hold and reach out left for a less than ideal hold.  Climb up and slight left and go into the left part of the obvious seam and drop.

Start on the left facing block as for Ballerina Direct and make a big move out right, continue trending up and left into the chossy headwall. Top out and downclimb Ballerina until you can drop off.

 

Same start as Anastasis and climb up into good edges and instead of going left and into the pocket, stay slightly right and into the good higher hold on Heart and Soul and into the seam.

Start under the corner between Rocket Man and Despondency.  Climbing straight up on the arete finishing on a large edge or a high top out.

Start on the Intimidator block and climb right through edges finishing on Cowabunga Direct.

Start just right of the crack and climb straight up thru small edges in the obvious large seam.  Crack to the left is off and go straight up.

A traverse that starts/ends on Rocket Man and Inappropriate Behavior.  Climb up about 8' and work your way through the large ledge used on Astral Traverse.  There is an eliminate that takes the large ledge off called Minus One Traverse that goes around V5.

***Watch out for the railroad tie, it is an ankle buster****

 Dave Poxson had the idea to extend this regular traverse into one that tops out.  Climb almost all of Coffee Talk and then work your way into Highball/The Pocket Problem

 

Same as midget’s delight just in reverse 

Start is to the right of Highball and four feet left of Top Tier Dyno.  Start on a sharp right crimp and bad left hand.  Go straight up and top out.  Several variations of this exist as well, all around the same level of difficulty.

Same start as Two Peace

but move straight up after the first move eventually gaining opposing side pulls and up into the crimp.  Move out left into the jug shelf and call it good or top out which is way more fun.This is an old climb rated 5.11+ in a guidebook that went out of existence around 2000 and has been pretty much abandoned until recently.  

Sit start on low block left of the proper route.  Traverse right through thin edges, eliminate the large feature out right, and go straight up to gain a stance.

Links suicide machine(v6) to up yours direct (v5) feels close to as hard as mass hysteria light. 

Start just down from Thailand and just before Saving Grace.  Sit start on the large jug shelf and climb up the two featured arete and drop at a high point before getting into the choss.  Notice the carving next to it and the origin of the problems name.

Start same as Up Yours Direct move out and left to the high arete and up.  The holds get really thin after the first couple moves getting matched into a crescent shaped hold midway up.

Low start matched on an iron plate and traverse left staying low until you end on the start hold of Intimidator.

Another eliminate on the Ballerina Bulge but it's a decent one.  Same start as Ballerina, and as the name suggests you only use the holds on the right of the open book and holds beneath.  The corner is on as the steepness lacks other holds, but the ledge for Ballerina proper and everything above is definitely off.

Sit start on low edges on the left center of Midget's Wall.  Climb straight up and into the hold onto the roof and drop.

Start on the two obvious crimps and smear up the slab. Nice topout and an easy exit on the backside.

Stack pads, use stump, or jump start to a two hand rail, pull through the open book, walk over to chips and climb down. Could be a bad fall on the retaining wall be careful. A dirty and wet direct start begins awkwardly a bit lower on a two handed undercling/sidepull, and goes at V5

Start at the base of the right side of the roof on jugs.  Climb out the arête a few feet and up to gain a stance and drop or top out.

Stand start on the corner with left pocket and good right edge.  Left hand up to the softball sized sloper and then move onto the face finishing in the large seam.

Grand Ledge eliminate.  Sit start on two low/thin edges.  Climb up into the sloper, the jug part of it is off, and then up and left into the large ledge and drop.  The large ledge off left at the start is also off.  The start holds are directly below the start of Rocket man and a foot is straight down and low.

Start left hand in seam and right hand under the roof on an edge.  Climb along the lip of the small roof finishing up on the arete gaining a stance on the face, same as Blind Faith.

Get into the a set of holds around 6' up and launch for the top.  

Start on the large and obvious slopey ledge.  Traverse right only using holds on the seam at the same height of starting hold.  Eventually get the feet in the letters and move into another obvious block above the seam, gain a stance on this block and call it good or top out exiting left.

Sit start on the right side of the bulge about 15’ left of the diving board/mantle problem. There is a fist sized crack about 3’ in length below chest level that serves as the start. Eliminate the large diagonal crack near the start and everything above the obvious ledge system traversing it across to the left and topping it out when it peters out.

Start at the crack, move along pockets and decent feet until you're under the V and can reach up to top out. A long reach and effective edging help.

Same as the rope climb but with pads.  Start right of Rocket Man on a large positive hold, move up to a large edge and then a big move up and left into another large ledge and drop.

Start on Rocket Man and traverse right around the corner, across Despondency and onto the pillar in the corner.  Traversing either way is about the same difficulty but offers a different sets of moves.

Despondency except the lower typical right-hand start hold, the slightly higher typical left-hand start hold and the thin chipped pocket above the crescent edge are all off as you boulder to the same ledge.  The theme is the three manufactured holds are off.

Start just below of The Trick on a low and obvious block.  Climb the face without using the large crack sticking to the arete and some edges.There is a large and intimidating looking rock behind this climb but it doesn't really come into play.  The lower part of the climb falls come straight down and as you get higher the tendency is to drift left and the rock is not really close to the drop zone.

Start at the left of the large crack in the Buns Bulge.  Climb right and when the crack ends top it out.

Start same as Scofic, move left hand up, right onto a bad edge, left up onto a bad sloper and shoot for a good hold.  I don't think this has ever been done and is still a project at the park.

Start same as Ballerina and traverse right through some very funky moves.  Finish matched on the good rail just left of Up Yours Direct start.

Start left of Doug's Roof on low jug and left sidepull.  Climb straight up heading for the slot at the top of the face, up and left of the "Up Yours" mono and end there.  Kind of a high fall from the top but the landing is good.

Start same as Mass Hysteria traversing left.  Instead of moving up into A Comedy of Terrors Direct, continue traversing into Ballerina and top out.This is reversing the Suicide Machine line that Jamie Emerson established in 2000 or so.  Locals looked at this for years afterwards with no success.  When Brendan Baars came along he not only finally did the long-standing project reversing the traverse, he added the hardest line to top it out creating Mass Hysteria which is an amazing line...some of us just ain't that strong!

Start a couple of feet left of Asinine Behavior on opposing sidepulls. Further up, finish in a thinner part of the same ledge system or a smaller rail a few feet below.   There is a low start on some sidepulls and moving into the original start holds.   This climbs up and into a two-finger pocket eventually meeting up with Pretzel proper.  The landing is usually really muddy though and on a slope.

Go straight up while avoiding bailing out right.   This is one of the older lines that finishes with a top rope.  This problem has also been bouldered out, as have many of the rope climbs.

Start on either side of the wall traversing to the other end using the high line of jugs.

Start in the corner and move up and right topping out on the bulge.  Was much safer before the wooden pedestal for ropers was added...

Same as the mantle but on the right side instead 

Start a couple feet left of Max Scene Arete on good lower block.  Climb up the arete eliminating all the large holds out left leaving you a couple small edges and a useful knob.  End in the triangle hold and drop or top out.

This is an older problem and has changed over the years because of erosion and how much lower the ground is now on the west side of the great roof.Start/finish on the Walk on By starter block and the right most set of holds on the wall before the corner to the Mermaid Wall.

Hand to foot and up the slab. Requires adult assist or the pre-pubescent amygdala of Alex Honnold.

Same start as Heart and Soul Direct, on the side pull block left of Enigma.Climb up trending left though small edges into a higher slot and finish at the large obvious seam.

Start on a low shelf on the right side of the wall.  Climb up and out into the large hold on the arete.  Finish and drop, gain a stance or go for a dirty top out.An old eliminate was removing the hold circled in green, Mr. Sulu, about the same grade.

Start on the ground just left of the rock pedestal that Pigeon Shit starts on.  Left hand in small pocket and right in sidepull crack and make your way up and slightly left into jug and the rope route.

Start on two small stacked two edges left and below the Intimidator Block on the lip.  High left heel on the larger step or right heel on a small/good edge and climb into the traditional start for the route and gain a stance.  Contrived but its alright.

On the left side of the Buns Bulge on the huge ledges the obvious start.  Paste the feet somewhere underneath and jump for the top.  Going out left to the lower ledge or using any other starting holds other than the ledge itself is not part of the problem, although they're still fun.

Start right of Pretzel on some side pulls for a low start or a couple not so good holds higher up.  Climb up and trending left into into original problem.

Start on the face with both hands at chest height, then get the half moon shaped hold. Eventually, get on the right arete and fire to the obvious finishing ledge and drop off.This can be topped out or top roped to the top but it is not recommended it is loose and dirty and not as fun as the lower section.

Start on low obvious block and climb the arete only.  There's the jug low and a small micro edge about 3/4 of the way up the arete.  Finish on the large ledge system same as Trick and Treat.

Low start on the right side of the Yellow Wall and climb to the large obvious shelf about 12' up and drop.

Start on a decent left facing side-pull and crank with the right to a hold just over the mini roof. Find a foot and launch to the jug up and left. Top out.

Low start on the iron plate and climb up and slightly left into good holds under the small roof then through thin edges up to the obvious ledge or into the large seem.

Start on the low block and move into a thin edge with the right hand.  Work out left staying on the face and finishing in the large triangle feature or top out a few more feet of easier climbing.  The large ledges out right and good pocket are off as this stays on the left of the face and going right is an old climb named Staircase done on TR.

Eliminate - Start same as Ballerina High and eliminate everything on the right side of the book and top out.

Sit start on low holds under the black overlap. Stay right of the rounded arête, climb to the jugs or contend with the filthy top out for bonus points.

Great little slab to practice balance on. The intended way to climb it is without using elbows, arms, or knees to aid you in climbing this slabby rock. Great fun to try out just for kicks. It unfortunately doesn't help warm up your hands for other climbing.

Large pockets, easy boulder. Great warm up.

Start at the side pull and crimp just below Ballerina (green tick marks shows start) Use slippery feet under you and crank up and right (red ticks shows holds). Crux is just over the lip, holding on to a sloper and throwing for a small crimp.

This is the boulder problem to Frank's Climb which goes to the top.Start with left in shallow pocket and right on thin crimp.  Move up into a really small pocket and a decent crimp and go for the seam.  Continue to the top on TR or drop from the seam.

Tricky intro into Comedy of Terrors Direct. Start with hands in the jug part of a decent left facing vertical slash and traverse left until you can gain the good crimp under the roof below the Comedy of Terrors Direct headwall.

 

Start as far back left on the bulge as you can with two slopey edges.  Throw up a heel and climb into Buns Machine Gun proper.  Instead of toping out after the large pocket stay low and continue right into the large triangle shaped pocket.  Move up staying off all the good edges used on Buns Machine Gun toping out on the arete.

Sit start in short vertical crack on right side of the wall.  Straight up and top out for a nice warm up.

Start high on the carbinite jug on Walk on By, climb up and right along the lip of the roof into a big jug.  Go straight up from the gaining a stance on the jug and jump down.  this can obviously be linked to the end of V4 Walk on By for a full value pump.

Same start as Walk on By.  After the first couple of moves, go up into a crimp and out onto the arete finishing in the crescent moon.  The Walk on By jug is off as the problem climbs the arete straight up.

Grand Ledge is most known for its top rope routes; however, there is some quality bouldering to be had. If you are looking for solitude, the far left side of the cliff, which does not contain the popular top rope routes, has some fun bouldering. This side of the cliff tends to stay more in the shade and can remain damp after rain much longer. Bouldering in the center of cliff--from ballerina to Despondency--tends to be steeper and more powerful. This area also gets direct sunlight. As many of these problems intersect and share top rope climbs, be courteous. Below is a list of the projects, classics, better climbs and the sub areas within the park.  Although the band of rock is relatively small, there are distinct areas within it and is useful to understand their locations as the locals will refer to them by these names and its just easier to find the problem you are looking for.  The list starts on the East Wall which would be to the left walking out of the parking lot.*** See Map that is in the photo section for orientation to the problems.https://www.mountainproject.com/photo/121930624
