Next route to the left of Happiness. Boulder problem beginning leads to sustained pockets and a little punch at the end. Absolutely fantastic rock climb!

Begin in the small cave and climb up into the crack.  Chug up ever smaller features until the crack ends.  Powerful moves through a pocket and a slopey rail lead to a cryptic 5.11 finish.  Sustained steep (the same angle the whole way) and pretty long.  Apparently a good route to onsight if you climb the grade.  Easy to read?

Continuous and technical face climbing with a thin crux on small holds near the top. Keep it together for the last few moves to the anchor.

A Great route that unfortunately shares the Schools Out Start, which is also shared by Heart, Balls and Swagger and sometimes Screaming Night Hog, making for nice fuster Cluck at times.  The second half of the route is steep on good holds with several bouldery sections.  It was retro cleaned in 08 and the anchor was moved up allowing for one last crux and a bit straighter line.

A line of chalked pockets leading into an overhang with jugs. Mandatory non cruxy mono at the first bolt

*DRILLED*

Chopped per a recent report.

Edit: Per the USFS, this route has also had its pockets filled in. In that sense, it no longer exists.

Do a tricky 11+ or 12- slab up to a good rest under a giant roof.  Then crank out the roof on steadily shrinking holds.  They start juggy, but they don't end that way!

Really great line and burly for sure.

This is a long sustained route with lots of good stemming.  Climb straight up to the left of a crack through a thin bulge and then get your stem on.  Follow a broken up left angling crack/seam up steep rock to a crux bulge finish and the anchors.

This route is the Bomb - not a bomb. Classic pockets and crimps on good stone, continuous, no great rests, just great movement. Supreme pump to the chains - you must do this line.

This route was formerly known as Happiness in Slavery, named after the NIN song of the same name.  It has been changed at the request of the FA.

Great climb starting up the center of the wall below the left side of the large overhang. Climb straight up a crack and then head right through great pockets when it gets overhanging. Either lower off sport anchors or continue to a higher anchor if finishing on Colors of Heaven.

Out of the 9 or 10 routes at the right side of this cliff this is the third route from the left.  Between Papa Knows Best .12d and Calm Like A Bomb .12c/d.  It begins on a rounded arete.

Move up a mix of positive small and large pockets ascending the prow.  A harder move leads into jug hauling up to the 8th bolt.  A long reach attains the two finger pocket ladder.  Hang on and keep moving cause it gets steep!  Turn the lip and solve the techy, crimpy section to reach the anchor.  A crag favorite!

stem up the corner to the first anchors (5.8).  continue up the crack for an 11c version to 2nd set of anchors.

Solid for 12c, soft for 12d. One crux after another right to the chains!  I won't spoil you with beta, but dang, I hope you can crimp!

This is a newer route at downpour wall that starts somewhat in a guano filled chimney. Don't let the poop scare you away this route is quality! Once you make it out of the poop chute and onto the face fun moves on good pockets take you to the top of this long route.

Follow the hand crack with some hand jams to the face above.

Start just left of the Saudi Arabia Flake and climb the easy corner to the base of the prominent overhanging gold streak. 2 bolts of long pulls between good pockets lead you into a v9ish boulder problem of about 6-7 moves. Recover on good crimps before tackling the 13- headwall, and a final dynamic move over the last bulge guards the chains. Great, hard moves on absolutely perfect gold stone! 5 stars.

A fun lil' mini adventure.

Pitch 1: 10+ 10 bolts

Climb School's Out using its anchor as pro to a belay stance just above.

Pitch 2: 5.9 8 bolts

Continue up steepening rock to the right to an airy hanging belay.

Pitch 3: 5.10 5 bolts

Pull a small roof and follow the bolted crack to a rappel anchor.

note: last two pitches are easily linked

Start up the Wagon Wheel of Death .11c, but as you make your way up the dihedral at the top, you go right out onto the bulge.  Pockets and edges with some reachiness characterize this alternate finish.  Very long and quite good.

The crack and the leftward traverse are cruiser.  The giant pockets of AJBT lead you into the left hand crux throw of the lower section.  A few more intense moves deposit you just left of the Screaming Night Hog anchors and a pretty good rest.  Launch straight up edges and fairly sustained .12+ climbing to reach the anchors.

This short route has fun easy climbing up to a small roof with a pockety V4ish crux.  Fun and as a short 12a, probably will get a lot of travel.

Climb the good 'ol  slab to the underbelly. Climb out the steepest section of the whole wall on friendly jugs right into a hard deadpoint boulder problem. Join Night Hog for the sustained finish of that climb.

This is technically a linkup but should be listed on MP since its been In Huey's guidebook's for some time. Basically doing the steep and rowdy fun section of Screaming Nigh Hog but avoiding the starting slab by doing the easy 5.10 crack School's Out. This is certainly a nice option and should be considered a pretty independent line on its own.

Climb Schools Out crack and clip a double draw at the start of Jackabite. From here, go up left and connect into the bolts and anchors of Scraming Night Hog. The top is overhanging juggalishousnous fun. Big moves on big holds. The crux is all the way at the top when the holds get slightly smaller and less positive. Good fun! A thug route for sure....

Begin just left of EKV and climb the corner system up pockets and edges.  Giant pockets lead up through the mid section offering a good recovery.  A thin section with slopey edges leads to a giant undercling flake.  I went straight up and slightly left on small pockets.  Kevin went right and found an easier yet uncleaned method.  I felt it was 13a,  he thought 12d was more appropriate.

Brief crux after the crack section.  Sweet climb.

The rock is ok, the climbing is good up to the crux, and then it gets a wee bit thin.  Climb fun pockets and flakes with a few interesting bits.  Once you've clipped the last bolt it is not over.  A little Nine Inch Nails anyone?

A very good climb, somehow overlooked for a long time.  This is a break from the good, but standard fare of the area, climbing up a seam of intermittent cracks on strange cling and side-pulls rather than pockets and edges.  The change is a good one, producing a great climb.

Step up and left and pass a single bolt, climbing upwards and slightly left past 2 more bolts.  Between bolts #2 and #3 head strongly left into a shallow intermittent crack and finally some pockets, pass several more bolts.  Climb more or less directly up this crack feature for 50+ more feet to a good anchor.
