Another awesome addition to the Southern Wall. Climb fun and varied movements including delicate arete climbing, an exposed traverse and a sweet roof to get through. Start under same roof as Southern Comfort but climb out left. From there climb straight up the arete and at the top traverse left to a good rest underneath the roof. After pulling the crux you will be on a ledge 20ft from the anchors faced with a few final moves. Really enjoyable route!

Tweety Bird

This route is a bit spicy where it's easy, and well protected where it's not. Climbs 4 bolts to the roof and links to of all my friends.

Starts on two bolt face next to a little tree and links into Tweety Bird at the upper dihedral.

Aka Petra climbs a right facing dihedral past 4 bolts to rap rings.

Pixie bell follows crimps through the bulge and up to the chains.

Monster climbs the face right of and shares anchors with city of stone.

Southern Bell starts on easy climbing using jugs and ledges to access a shallow dihedral. Protect the flake before you get to the first bolt. Clip the bolt at that start of the dihedral and follow the bolt line to the top. There are anchors just after the ledge in case you are looking for a shorter route. You can pick from three routes to get to the top. 1 Straight up, following the bolts. 2 Step left 10' then climb the finger crack joining back onto the OG Line clipping 2 bolt to the anchors 3 take run out slab right to left facing dihedral and use anchors for 4 Same as but 3 step right on to the face of continue to the top passing 2 bolts.

Scramble on top of the boulder at the base and clip the first bolt. Pull a muscley move on great holds and ride the pipe to a crux as it thins out. Pull the roof, take a moment to smile, and enjoy easier climbing to the chains.

Starts easy and gives you a chance to warm up to the crux around the fourth and fifth bolts - steep crimps, side pulls and finger locks. The whole climb is steep after the 2nd bolt. Enjoy a rest after the crux on a ledge then continue up airy climbing and try not to pump out to the top. Rating is a close estimate at this time, route has only been TR'd.

Two starts. 1 climbing the face protecting  horizontal crack to ledge with right facing dihedral and bomber finger crack. Start 2 climb under and around roof to ledge.   climb crack system to ledge with a tree and two bolt anchor.

Starts on short face with single bolt to small ledge. Next, continue in dihedral and crack, past some fun climbing to 2 bolt anchor.

Great route! Short and we’ll protected:) Starts in the gully and moves out right to the arete to the top. 

Climb the black water streak  head left at the crack follow bolts to chain just beneath the tree.

Starts on ATL wings then heads out left after you pull over the slab and finishes on La Gata. 

Awesome Crack Climbing!!!One of the best trad lines at Christopher Creek!It’s broken into two sections by a ledge at about 40 feet. The first section is the business with a steep just past vertical right leaning crack system to anchors just below a bushy ledge. Head right and follow the crack up through a widish crack with plenty of small gear to the top.

Bolted face left of grassy corner leading up to steeper rock towards the top.There is a farely run out section in the middle with easy climbing on jugs that lead to a shelf.Clip the bolt that protects the mantel. Climb the face to the arete  on the left and a hand crack towards the top.

The gulley route was put up to allow easy access to the upper shelf and it gets harder and steeper the higher you go. There are three ways to climb this route.1. Climb it to access the upper shelf 2 bolts with rap rings. 13 drawsThis will require 2 raps to get down with a single 60 m rope2. Climb it to the second set of anchors on the left face 10 bolts. this uses a full 60 m rope  to lower off3. Climb to the first set of anchors 40’  easy 5th class

One of the best lines in the canyon!!Starts in a smooth steep crack down low then turns a lip to a slap climb vertical slightly overhanging flakes. Pull through the cool dihedral  and finish up to the top. 

Climbs the corner crack starting in the v-corner whitch is the start to Tweety Bird and ATL Wings.  Take the crack around left to the lichen covered and bolted face that takes you to the same anchors at previously mentioned routes. There is a great cam placement between the second to last and last bolt.

This is a challenging trad line that angles left throughout the entire route. Start at the bottom of Black Lung and climb the crack to the anchors of Southern Comfort.

This is a stellar steep corner half way up the gully on the right side. It has good options for gear.

Climbs chimney and left facing digital then head left to share anchors with Grandpa's Watching. This is not an easy lead with marginal gear at best. BOB's a bad ass for putting this up ground up. He may go back a place bolts to make it a safer route.more to come possibly.

Follow the hand crack through a bulge using edges out right to gain the face. Look for .4/yellow or green Alien placement, a DMM #2 nut slots well a little higher to the left. Place a #1 Camalot in the left most horizontal pod just before entering the shallow bomb bay with a single bolt. Clip bolt from the huge jug, then move through the bulge to the anchor.

This route is Hands down the absolute coolest route I have put up!  The moves through the roof took many many tries to unlock but it went so much easier than expected once I figured it out! Seriously if your trad game is good then you will be smiling all the way to the chains!!Bring your phone!! Shenanigans is very photogenic! Starts off the log and protects with  good gear below the roof. A BD .4 #1 or #2 work well below the roof. 5.8

 Clip next two bolts with longer or extender draws. Crux 5.11 (not 11-)Follow the finger crack though a slightly overhung right facing dihedral with some stemming and even some chimney moves you’ll gain a ledge and get a great rest.   5.10Protect the move off the ledge with a .3   There is a  BD .2 .1 0  befit you get to the next bolt.  From the bolt stay on the arete passing several more bolts to the top for best climbing and positioning!!! 5.8

Climbs a squeezy slick dihedral through two roofs.  Absolutely fantastic route! Fun route for all size climbers!!

Climb the horizontal cracks with really cool movement then stay in the face to the pointed roof. Shares anchors with TB.

 

Left of Bob's Chimney. Ascent shallow crack to tree, then wide crack with one bolt then gear in back - crack narrows as you get higher to top. Two bolt anchor.

Starts in a smooth v corner and head out right crawl through a dihedral and head out right to a hidden bolt just out of sight but will come into view as you get higher right and out of the corner. You can stop at the anchors or continue up the 5.6 face to the top of the wall.  It’s still has quite a bit of lichen on it but will clean up with more traffic.  If you go to the top you can access the upper shelf  from there. It will require 2 rappels to get down with a 60m rope.  Lots of draws (15) and maybe a few runners would be nice.

The Southern Wall  faces north and is located just along the creek. It provides shade all day. It has a great ledge to walk along the creek and to access the number of future routes. There will easily be 20 routes, both trad and sport in this area. CAN'T WAIT! It's a perfect summer crag! Climb in the shade then jump in the sunny creek. Watch for canyoneers finishing the canyon. Close your eyes as they strip out of their wetsuits.
