Climb up small crimps to the first bolt (good clipping crimp just next to it) and bust up and left to some side-pulls. Make a big move to a pointed jug in a large crack. Follow the good holds up to the last bolt. Climb left around the bulge and to the large jug/crack below the shuts, in want for feet.

A fun route that moves from more polished limestone to very sharp rock.  

  As of December 2014, there is graffiti of a red heart at the start of the climb.

Climb up the ramp and then head up and slightly right, climbing through the large hole in the rock.

Starting at the graffiti T climb vertical to overhanging terrain cutting either right or left to the anchors on the neighboring routes.

Thin start to easier climbing with a fun steep pumpy finish.  

Climb the obvious arete that is to the left of the dark corner.

Some of the most technical climbing I've done in a while. Two cruxes, one right off the ground, involving some devious left hand crimping and another one higher up, involving thin side-pulls and possibly a throw to a decent hold. 

 Stick clipping the first bolt recommended. 

This was my favorite route at the crag.  It has some length and variety.  Start out in a section of opposing corners with some stemming, climb left along an intermittent crack for a while, then pull a bulge on sharp holds to head for the anchors.   

  Islands in the Sky rates this 5.10, the older Brock Vegas Limestone book rated it 5.10a, but I felt it was easier than any of the other 5.10 routes at the crag. 

  Please don't TR directly through the open cold shuts, use your own equipment so they don't wear out and are safe for the next party.

Dirt Lion is in the back of the cave and starts at the letter "M." Bouldery, deadpoint style moves using decent holds gain a large ledge. After that endurance 5.11- climbing leads to a confusing section near the top and finally the anchors. Not a bad route and much better than Mud Tiger.

This short, yet powerful route is quite good for its meager height.  For those who think that Vegas has soft ratings for its climbs, this route will challenge that notion.  Not sure if I felt this route has a definitive crux as there is hard climbing starting at the first bolt and goes to just past the fifth bolt.  Some of the clips are tenuous so be careful.  There is a small runout to the anchors, but if you have made it that far, you won't fall off the easy climbing.

Start the climb left of the arête with underclings, and launch straight up through heucos. Trend left on more vertical terrain, getting into the crux as it gets steep and the feet disappear.

The right-most bolted route at Urban Crag, near the trail to the parking lot. If you fall before the first bolt, that is where you might end up.  

  As of December 2014, there is graffiti that says "eat dick" to the left of the climb by about 12 feet

Urban Crag is the first large cave on Lone Mountain look for the graffiti letters J M T. 14 routes exist ranging from 5.9-5.12a, sunny east facing with afternoon shade. The routes here are on mainly vertical to steep/slightly overhanging rock. Standout routes include Mud Tiger (5.11b), Dirt Lion (5.12a), Mega Poser (5.12a), Monster Truck Challenge (5.11d) and Twilight of a Poser (5.11a).
