Well worth doing even if the start has some choss.

Be very careful here because pro is dicy, you could hit your belayer, or pull a rock off, Millennium Wall is right below.

Pretty hard for the Vantage grade. I think Jim was climbing hard in the mid 90's

I think this is more like 10d

Some wandering, stemming, opposition to find holds.

Overhanging most of the way with tricky gear placing, nuts work better then cams in some spots.

Climb Whale of the Wanapum to where it turns to blue Camalot size.  Make an entertaining traverse right to a thin crack just left of the prow.

Belay on top, or use a new (as of spring 2020) bolted anchor right of Whale of the... and lower.  An independent start has been toproped.

The crux is mostly the bulge near the start. Maybe easier for tall people ( 5.9), some reachy moves to good holds. Think opposition and stemming.The upper half goes more crimpy.

Very similar to Bad Moon with the crux passing the bulge down low with a reach to good holds. Thin crimps up higher.

More space between a couple of the bolts then some other Vantage sport climbs.

This is a crack with some interesting face moves in the lower half.

Be careful to protect where you can, otherwise some spicy moves with ground fall potential. The upper crack has some crux pump out moments so find the rests.

Climb over easy rock and a few loose holds to gain the crack. Fire in a cam or two and climb up to the right and gain the next 2 bolts which lead to the anchor.

Worth doing if you are working through all the routes at the Tomato Wall.

Pretty hard compared to other 11b Vantage cracks, except Spinning Mars which I consider 11c, but the grade seems right. Lots of big spider moves to small holds or thin cracks.

Face climb up kinda crappy rock until you reach it becomes a nice crack. Face climb and jam this crack which has tons of big footholds and great handholds/jams. Eventually it turns into double cracks towards where it begins to overhang in nice rock(barely) at the top.

Start by climbing the face underneath the hand crack. This face is shared with "firestarter" then climb up through some loose rock to the start of the hand crack. Jam, stem and face climb up this short hand crack to the mesa top.

Face climb up over a few bulges into the main face of the arete, using good positive holds up to the crux right up top. Look around, the hold is there, somewhere.

Pro is 8 bolts. Bring a couple slings for the middle draws as they are around the corner and under bulges.

Location: Right side of the Tomato wall. Left of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Go Cat Go.

a few pumpy move on the bottom lead to a crack finish

Climb up following the short crack to a small bulge/roof. Clip the bolt (long sling here)and pull the bulge and stand up on top of it. Climb using both sides of the arete using good incuts, flat edges and smaller holds around the corner(with great feet) up to the chains.

Face climb to a nice thin hand crack.

Belay on cliff top.

Caution! Rock fall 5/25/19. Route needs to be evaluated before climbing again. See comments.

Start by climbing the face up to gain the start of the obvious hand-fist crack. (Micro cams protect going up into the crack)

Climb up the widening crack using jams and plenty of face holds. Numerous rests/stances abound.

The top 4 feet of the crack goes to OW in size.

This is a pretty fun mixed climb. Start is bolted, top is finger crack. Very sustained after 3rd bolt, pulling small bulge and gaining crack.

1st time I did this I thought it 10c, I was tired this last time, seemed harder.

Begin by climbing the face between the bolted aretes "Broken Glass" and "Ten Bucks and a Sandwich" to gain a good ledge about 15 feet up. From here climb the crack on the right which begins finger/thin hands sized but widens to fists within a few feet.

Set your belay on top.

Start out by face climbing up to gain the steep thin finger crack.

Ascend this crack using finger jams, face holds and 1 hand jam.
