The Wetness

Only one ascent so far.  Climbs the obvious arete at the left side of the wall.  I'd recommend a stick clip.  The crux is a heinous boulder problem.

Start as for Drill Sergeant and when your arms are about to fail at the 4th bolt reach left for a good hold and cross to a crimp and continue up to the rest on Bones Brigade. After you have recovered head back right to finish on Drill Sergeant.

(Variation)

Boy Scout

(.13-) Same start as Weblo, but traverses right at roof and finishes on the  Project Clench anchors

Climb Renaissance and into extension (between the Sickness and Orgasmatron) on underlings and sidepulls. Finishes on the top of Orgasmatron.

Start right of Drill Sergeant, and left of Paradise Lost.

It's a V8 boulder problem at the 3rd clip sandwiched with 5.12 climbing.

Anchors are under the massive boulder.

This route looks really good. Might consider sticking the first bolt or two. Bouldery crux and interesting sidepulls to hard mantle.

Starts on flat wall up to right of Orgasmatron.

This one starts just to the right of Paradise Lost.

An awkward beginning on questionable rock leads to face climbing on surprisingly good pockets.  A few long pulls.

This route starts down and left in a steep bulge, just to the right of Unsung Heroes. Surmount a steep bulge with quarty looking rock.

Originally done by Josh by traversing entire seam to the Project Clench anchors under the large boulder, then traversing back to the anchors of Drill Sergeant.

If you get to the large jug in the route, you could finish same as Bones Brigade and probably have more fun for the same grade.

This route climbs like a 12+ to a V10. From Orgasmatron, access powerful pockets to the right and then follow staight up to the biz. Fortunately, there are several methods available for the crux boulder problem depending on height. I think this has seen 3 repeats so far. Josh envisioned a direct and heinously long move into the initial pockets, but opted to use logical shortcut on redpoint from the left.

This has the same bouldery start as Paradise Lost. At the 5th bolt (I think) veer slightly left and up through some additional engaging climbing to an anchor under the blocky roof.

One of the original routes of the wall- Gray People, it has been lovingly been called Mini Clench in that it shares the same finish as Project Clench.

Start on Bones Brigade and climb to the jug rest. Climb straight up into the ~V9 Rear Admiral boulder problem, and once through, finish on the  Drill Sergeant anchors under the headwall.

(Variation

) Seaman Sachs

(.13+) start on Drill Sergeant, do the Weblo traverse to the jug on Bones. It's a faster and easier way to get up to the boulder problem, but it doesn't make the boulder problem any easier.

Possibly quite dirty.  Bonus quality: there will be no line on this one.

Start on Bones. At the jug rest, head straight up through the ~V9 crux (the Rear Admiral boulder problem), and finish through the roof and left side of the head wall to the top.

Climb Renaissance, and traverse left just below the anchor to a sharp  jug. Traverse left and finish on the top pitch of the Sickness.

Reportedly not the best route.  However, it has some hard moves.  Climb orgasmatron and break right at the first chance (but not the crack going up and right).

Starts to the left of Drill Sergeant, by jumping off the large rock. Large pulls to a jug, then traverse right and finish on Drill Sergeant.

Said to be Washington's first .14a. This is one of the old school routes here at WW2. Starts atop the fixed rope at the lip of the cave. Climbs like a gym route. Culminates with a potent redpoint crux. Quintessential power endurance.

Consists of 2 x .13a/b pitches. The lower pitch has an awkward crux, but the top pitch you're pumped out of your mind.

Clip up 3 bolts then lower to the start.

This route follows the obvious crack line up and left.  Though originally led with a combination of bolts and gear, for your convenience, it is full bolted.  This is the defacto crag warmup.  Classic finish.

Starts on Bones Brigade, (does the reverse traverse of Weblo), traversing right into the crux of Drill Sergeant at the 5th clip. Finishes on Drill Sergeant.

Pure Power Endurance. Hard moves, no good rest. Great Route!

Climb Renaissance. At the anchors traverse right and finish on Orgasmatron.

Starts right of Bones Brigade. Climbs straight up and over the roof.

Fun large pulls with a difficult rest under roof.

(Variation)

Master Sergeant

(.13a/b) same start, but at last rest under roof, traverse right to Project Clench anchors. This variation is not as fun as Drill Sergeant.

Starts on Flyboys. At the jug, finish on Honorable Discharge.

Great Route! Links some hard boulder problems together.

A stick clip is nice for the first bolt.  Nice bouldery climbing leads up to some weird moves to an anchor.  The climb does continue directly above the corner with slightly easier climbing.

The easiest method to start this route is to lower from Orgasmatron and clip into some draws for direction, then lower onto the anchor for the sickness.  Then, you can pull your rope and be clipped into the initial draw.  Yard up on the fixed rope and onto the start holds to begin.  This route climbs the first 13a crux of the sickness and then reverses the "black plague" traverse moves to the jug out right, then joins up with Reformation.  Powerful.
