Sharp holds up six (some hidden) bolts.  If the climb starts to full run out, you probably missed one of the bolts.  This is the leftmost route on the upper shooting gallery, the first you come to if you are approaching from The Boardwalk.

Bambi Slayer is one of the "early" routes at the Aretes. This is the type of stone you traveled all that way for. As soon as you step off the ground this climb hits you full on. The "ground" at this point is a ledge 80 feet above the base of the Visions Wall. Pull out and onto the wall with insecure lie backs to increasingly better holds. The crux of Bambi is getting past the second bolt. Even though the crux is behind you, the climbing never lets up. This is gently overhanging, well featured limestone-sucker holds abound, but there is always another jug coming up. Make it through the pump and you'll be rewarded by a huge view 150 feet off the deck. Many consider this route 11a but the First Ascentionists rated it 10d. The FA was done ground up with 40 foot falls taken by both members of the first ascent party, including one head first when a hook blew. They added more bolts later to make it a fun adventure. Great exposure!

Mixed route in the middle of the wall.  Starts with ~30 feet of intermittent crack systems to a bolted headwall.  Crux about 1/2 the way up moving left around a blankish sections.  The gear section is a little sporty but the upper part is worth it.

Similar climbing, although slightly easier than its neighbor to the right, Gold Rush.  Crux is about 2/3 of the way up.  Shares anchors with Gold Rush.

Similar climbing, though slightly harder than it's neighbors to the right (Stumble In My Footsteps and Epic In A Bottle).  No specific crux, just lots of devious holds and a little pump management.

Follow the golden water streak up the center of the Shooting Gallery. A steep start leads to a reachy crux at the third bolt. The rest of the climb is pump-management and route finding, there's always a jug to be found...
