Nice positive holds (though it seems like some have broken), gets easier and funner as you go higher and swim through steep plates. Fairly exposed start.

An exciting trad alternative to Planet Ron that skips the bolted face and traverses below the large roof.   Start up loose dihedral and gain stance below the roof on a sloping ledge.    A .75 camalot protects the corner stance, and a slot in the roof takes a .4 and .5 next to each other.    Bust out left on face holds below the roof and run-out (pg-13) around the lip to a good stance in the dihedral, joining and finishing on Planet Ron.   Despite the last half being bolted, there's good gear in the dihedral the entire way up.   Follower cleans the gear.

May be the steepest 11 in the canyon and pretty fun.  There was talk originally that you should avoid the crack high up (and thereby increase the grade), but the crack is just too tempting.

Planet Ron is a short sport route consisting of a delicate crux sequence that leads a grin-inducing layback crack.  As I climb it the route may be height dependent but with a little innovation other sequences can likely be found. 

  The name Planet Ron cracks me up and leads to all sorts of terrible puns.  For example: 'I just crashed on Planet Ron'.

This is the overhanging corner formed by the intersection of the two walls. The bottom has some interesting stems and a burly pull above your gear onto the ledge that splits the route in half. From the ground it looks like you would be able to get a good rest here but the wall is so overhanging that you can't really manage much more than a shakeout. From here, lieback and stem the nice corner to the top of the formation, then traverse right a short distance to the anchors for Cholla.

Steep face to slightly less steep face.  A bit reachy so it is harder if you are shorter.

Novel, warmer location. Climbs begin off a platform that require a couple of fairly technical moves to get to the top of. Consider using the fixed belay anchor for the furthest-left routes. These routes are juggier than those found on Main Wall, and get more sun.
