A very obvious hand/fist crack on the left hand side of Prayer Wall.  Classic!  Very smooth and even, with good hand and footholds along its outer edge on the upper half

This is a Six?

The face left of the obvious hand/fist crack ("This is a Six?").

Climb inside corner and slab. At 20 ft, switch to crack on the left wall. Finish right of summit block.

The best route here at Prayer Wall!  Classic edges and sequence.  Starts at an incipient crack in the middle of the face, jogs left to pods in another incipient crack for a couple of moves, then moves back right to the 'sickle' shaped slot.  From here follow the gradually improving holds straight up along the crack.

Vegetated cracks in a very clean wall.  Reachy and dirty.  Joins "Close Call" halfway up.

Short, but every move is sweet.  From the big tree in the gulley, scramble up and left to the steep crack.  Pull up to and over the overhang.  Continue up the too-thin crack. 

  If you have extra small fingers, this will probably be easier for you!

A dihedral that will have you either stemming or squirming.  The initial section reminds me of "Lost Temple Crack." 

  For the upper portion, you can either finish left of the dihedral, or move right ... if you are leading, go right.

The crack that diagonals lower right to middle left.  Classic Devils Lake edges with less than you'd like for your feet.  It climbs a lot like the upper part of "Chicago". 

  You can stop at the shoulder where the crack ends, or continue up to the right.  It's easier to find an anchor up higher, under the cedar.

Prayer Wall is home to several great routes, plus a handful of 'pretty good' stuff.  The main wall has two well defined cracks ("This is a Six?" and "The Bishop"), and faces southeast.
