This is one of the first lines to be dry at the entire cliff. Great well-protected climbing on superb rock, fun for the whole family.

 Make a couple of slabby moves to get started, may be harder for shorties. Move up to the steepish bulge with two bolts. Climb past some hard moves and enjoy the victory lap to the top. A few spaced bolts on the route, but large ledges and hand holds make it manageable. The climb finishes at a two-bolt anchor in a bowl.

An interesting climb that is sketchy in several spots.

 This climb is just before the main wall, down and climbers left of the Walker Buttress. There is a right facing flake (Cruizer alt.) and a left facing flake that are easy to locate. The alternative start looks like it stays wet for a while.

 You can start in the flake or on the face. We chose the face. Go straight up the face past some good gear and clip the only bolt on P1. Continue moving up until you see the large thin flake to the left. Above this flake is a large horizontal break and your first gear above the bolt. Look out right for a short slanting crack that goes at 11 o'clock. Pull the slanting crack and aim up and left still for another break in the rock. This is the last gear before the anchor. Pull above the break and reach the large ledge with the two bolt anchor.

 P2 moves straight up the anchor to a bolt. Above the bolt you can get a 0.3 camalot or similar in an eyebrow. Make a long run to the next bolt at a smooth slab. Make some fun friction moves up and trend slightly right near a small juniper. Move straight above the juniper on the steep face and big holds. When you get to the top, you will see two large pine trees. The second pine tree has a sling that was good as of Dec. 2018. A bolted anchor will likely be added due to park rules in the near future. Descend straight down the route the way you came up.

Another fun slabby addition to the area. This one has a little added spice to the top.

 Begin at a rock pedestal on the ground, belay here. Move up to a big horizontal below the first bolt. Get some gear here before making the step up to clip the first bolt. A couple of hard moves lead you past the first bolt. A few more tricky sections lead you to the 5th bolt. Some gear can be placed up and left of this bolt. A little run leads you to the 6th bolt. Continue up and left to the anchors.

Another route similar to it's neighbors. Start up to the first bolt, make some hard moves to access the ledge above. Clip another bolt and circle left to find the easiest terrain. Continue up past four more bolts of enjoyable slab climbing to reach the two-bolt anchor.

Although this is listed as a sport climb, this isn't a clip up. This is a ground-up bolted route with a little bit of spice. The route is named after a bear encounter and the fact that it is one of the most well-protected climbs at TR. Most of the climbing is on neat edges and crystals, with a few slab moves thrown in. 

 Start just left of the first bolt and follow good holds to the first bolt. The next two bolts is the thin crux section. Follow 4 more bolts through some thought-provoking terrain. Easy ground leads to the two-bolt anchor.

More fun climbing on impeccable rock.

 Start on the ramp that leads down the hill to the Walker Buttress. An easy traverse leads up and left to the first bolt. Pull into several scoops and get the next bolt. Cool dimples and slab lead to the top. You can break right or left depending on which anchor you want to use.

A little more south facing than the Watergroove Wall. This wall has the best concentration of well-protected moderates. Lots of cool knobs and slabbing. Not to be missed if this is your first time at Table Rock. Even a day after a rain, this area is typically completely dry by noon if the sun out. Many of the routes are listed as sport due to them being all bolt protected, but the bolts are still well-spaced.
