This route is the first of several that were established at the upper buttress at Windy. Most of the other lines are unfinished. It climbs just right of a chimney system that reaches the top of the buttress. Climb the face and arete passing some sections of solid rock and some of marginal rock. It could use a bolt or two.

The Hazards of Love

White Dinosaur

Hungry Man

Where Goats Do Roam

Hungry Man is climbs two roofs on the main Hungry Man Wall.  Pull hard moves past bad bolts on the lower dihedral overhang.  Runnout the face to the second steep section of rock and on to the one bolt anchor.  A crack at the top will allow you to build a safer anchor and a loose rocked walk off will avoid a single bolt rappel.

White Dinosaur is the first of two routes found at this crag.  It is located on the cliff closest to Windy Corner on broken, white rock.  Scramble up to the climb then follow bolts up a short steep wall to a chain anchor.

Four pitches of fun, spicy rock climbing that gives the climber fun exposure.  

  Pitch 1: 5.6. From the one bolt belay climb up and left towards a roof, climb under the roof to a big belay ledge with a two bolt anchor. 75ft, gear to .75 in.  

  Pitch 2: 5.8. From the belay ledge carefully climb over the bulge, one 5.8 move. once above the bulge climb through spicy 5.7 and 5.8 moves on the slab, watch out for the death block on the left, although rock is better on the left is generally better.  Sparse gear leads to a two bolt anchor on a green prow right. 110ft, gear to 4 inches.  

  Pitch 3: 5.5. This is pitch is lame. one 5.5 move take you to a some class 4 to a bolted belay on the left. 100ft.  

  Pitch 4: 5.8. The money pitch! From the anchor, climb slightly left to a short crack, place some gear here. Climb the face through some good stopper placements to a large slung boulder with a rap ring. 100ft. Gear to 1 inch.  

  The adventurous can take the route to the top through the goat fields making it either a walk (head right) or climb direct from the anchor, there are many short faces and fun boulder problems to be had. To descend, rappel the line, although in high winds finding a walk off might be a wise idea.

Multiple walls exist that get sun in the morning and the evening. This area is often quite windy although different walls are protected from wind.
