One of the easiest routes at Bald Bluff, this makes a good warmup for routes at the Lower Dike and the South Wall. Climbs flakes and jugs on gently overhung to vertical terrain to an awkward crux move at the 5th bolt. Rest at a stance then fire up the final headwall to anchors.

Unfinished Project

Boulder up through the first two clips to a cool undercling flake and the crux at the third clip. Fun jug-hauling through the last clip to the chains.

Climb up the black and white streaked face 2 bolts to the roof. Climb out the roof into a jug on the overhang above. Clip the third bolt and make some hard pulls to the anchors.

Climb up the slab to a small ledge. Thin face moves past the 2nd bolt to the roof. Pull the roof onto the overhang above and finish to the anchors. 4 bolts to anchors.

Burly climbing with some big pulls up through the steepest terrain near the middle of the wall. Stick clip first bolt. 4 bolts to anchors.

A partially bolted open project up the bulging overhang. Looks very difficult. 2 bolts up high to anchors.

Short and steep! This is the first wall you come to at the end of the approach trail. The wall heats up in the sun so be prepared to get cooked on warm days.
