Fun beginner route with big pockets and ledges. Start just below or slightly left of bolts. Trend right as you move up on great holds past two bolts to the top. Possibly the easiest route currently bolted at the Mad. Would be great for a first-time leader.

Start in depression area on bolt line, ascend up on fun moves, and figure out the middle crux before moving to finish. 

Stay off the big stuff at the bottom and make sure you snag the very top ledge for the tick.

Sit start on jug outside of break in cliff. Climb right on jug blocks through the break making big move to ledge and topping out. 

This is the second from the right route in the Trash Shoot area. It is located directly to the right of Bloodmutt. It follows a line just to the left of the bolts over two small bulges. Boulder through a tricky start (a tall person may have an easier time here), then pull over two separate bulges to reach the anchors.

Reachy start to great crack, steep bulge to big holds at top.

Start on the crack with body down in the depression under the bulge. Move up the crack to the left of the bolt line. Pick a good spot to traverse right to clip the anchors.  Finish jugs are directly above the anchors.Alternate start with a 5.11c'ish move: Start under bolt line slightly to the right directly under the bulge.  Move up using small two finger ledges and pockets and a great lean back side pull.  Very hard to get feet up.  Finishes the same after the first bolt. **Note: Top roping this route after a leader can be more challenging than leading due to rope pull and small swing into the alternate start if you fall off.

Start directly under overhang. Short powerful route with barn door finish. Watch the tree if you blow it at the anchors. 

Classic climb (and is definitely hard for the grade in comparison to other 5.8s at the Mad). Moderate climbing on good edges and pockets. Start slightly left of bolts and continue on some thin moves at top for a more exciting 5.10a. variation.  Original route is right of bolt line. 

This is the second bolted route on the right-most wall of the Trash Shoot Area. Follow the bolt line through small crimps and balancy foot work to the second bolt. From there make the big reach to the ledge just above the anchors.

Classic climb (and is definitely hard for the grade in comparison to other 5.8s at the Mad). Climb fun and easy bulges after a challenging start. 

Kinda tricky start to  fun pockets and a little crack.

Tricky start with undercut feet. If you can make it to the first bolt, it should be smooth sailing to the end. 

Furthest east sport route on the cliff line. Direct start off the ground. Avoid the detached boulder on the right. Reach to mono is the crux. Two moves past the anchor gets the tick. Make sure to check bolts before climbing here as this area has not yet been rebolted.

This is the first bolted route on the right-most wall of the   Trash Shoot area. Walk past Hellstrong and Lefteye to reach this section. Mad Corner   follows the arete on the left side of the wall. Climb either left on the arete   or right into the alcove, then make several moves to surmount the large bulge   to reach the anchors. 

Same start as Garburator but climbs right before the big ledge through jug gaston. Climb up and right through crimps to top out. 

Layaway to the left with a high right foot and no LF to nail the far right of horizontal.. Don't follow the chalk on the right. The original start makes the route. Also don't cheap out and go right at the top. Otherwise consider it a 5.9. 

Looking to get away from the crowds that tend to populate Amusement Wall and the left side of Clear Creek Crag? Check out the Trash Shoot Wall! There is a little bit for everyone, and a great mix of classic and newer routes. Make sure to bring a stick clip as a lot of the routes are severely undercut at the start (especially routes on the right side of the area), but you'll enjoy the variety of climbs here. This area faces west and gets nice sun in the afternoon.
