-Standing on a thin ledge, use that Arnold strength and power yourself into a mantel by smearing your feet and top out.

Reach up and find a good spot on the top of the boulder for your left hand. Use the diagonal seam for feet and find the small, slightly positive hold up top for your right hand. Flail your feet on nothing and mantel to the top.

The main downclimb ramp is out, as are the obvious good holds above the main downclimb ramp. This makes the route fairly contrived.

Thin edges for hands and feet lead to a slabby top-out.

This is a really fun and really thin face/slab climb. There's plenty of fancy footwork and fumbling around with your fingers to find those tiny holds as you slowly make your way up. Crux is thankfully near the bottom where it goes from using the microcrimpers to using the wave-like features of the face and the physics of friction.

**Named with respect to Peter, Descanso Wall was said to be originally referred to as Fire Wall.

Same physical start as Stay Thirsty then veer up and left in the seam crack which opens up at points, offering good holds.  Rock quality is very good and the climbing is even better, IMO. There are bolts for Stay Thirsty you might be able to use but you'd pendulum if you fall near the top.

-You'll have fun finding your own beta on this climb.  The start is a definite crux.  Start left and make your way up the two paralleling seam cracks.

Optional finish with a strong mantle over the blank, vertical feature at the top adds a little extra excitement to the climb.

Low/sit start on the seam crack and follow it to the jugs above.

Looks like a crack problem, but really...it's a boulder problem.

Hard stand start on an overhang with your right hand in a crescent edge and left hand on an in-cut crimp. Difficult moves until you're standing on the crescent then easy slab climbing up the tall face on jugs.
