This is the first line to be established at Cathy's Creek.Climb up the obvious corner past two bolts and gear to double bolt anchor.

start 15 feet left of THE PULPIT on top of a large boulder. Climb up and left through a broken crack system to a roof and a bolt. Pull the roof and climb up and left to the next roof and 2nd bolt. Move out and left through a powerful crux. Step left and join Junk show at the 3rd bolt. Pull the last roof and continue to anchors of Junk Show. Double ropes are nice but not necessary.

This is a fun route that actually cleaned up really well. It requires some legit crack technique to pull the crux roof. Start the same as for Black Snake but clip a bolt out right instead of going left (clip long). Pull the roof via cool moves and clip another bolt just above (updated from a pin).Make a cruxy mantel onto the face and climb it to the large roof. Pull the large roof via crack (awesome crux) and continue up to merge into the end of Black Snake and follow it to same tree anchor.

Begin in a steep off width chimney with a tight hands crack in the back. A #1 Camalot leads to a bolt out left. Clip this and vault over the huge chock stone to a stance. Get a weird but good #3 in the corner and stem up and place pro out the big roof. Under cling out this to a juggy crack, place pro and gun for the high bolt. Clip this and punch it for the anchor with a surprise finish. Mulitple sharp edges! Beware! The FA was completed using double ropes to protect against this hazard. It would probably be OK if you sling the #3 with a 4 foot runner.

Stick clip first bolt or place .4 camalot low. Start in 2 finger pocket and fire up to quartz undercling. From the undercling make dynamic moves to second bolt and begin to compress your way through the crux. Rock over to a no hands rest in front of the tree ( don't dab) and clip third bolt. Make a few more cruxy moves to 4th bolt and top out the ledge. Lower off double bolt anchors.

Climb up steep jugs past hand sized cams to a stance. Place a #.5 Camelot for a directional (for second) and then clip bolt out left. Under-cling out roof past another bolt to a low angle face. Finger size cam here (sling long). Continue up to next roof with bolt protecting a funky crux. Climb broken face to double bolt anchors (way out in roof to keep rope off sharp edges below). Note: The rope will drag a bit at the end of the undercling section but pulls okay, just watch the pinch point.

Either start directly under first bolt and lieback up to "the plank" or start slightly right and climb out good holds to first bolt. Make powerful moves then clip 2nd bolt and pull over right onto the to face/corner system. Stem up to large roof, exiting left to gear and jugs (the holds can be seepy here but it doesn't impact the difficulty too much). Get high stance to clip 3rd bolt out right. Pull awkward move around corner to a stance. Watch rope drag here. Stem and pull up and left past jugs to the tree anchor. Watch out for the snake... Note: the block under the 1st bolt moves, but seems to be chocked in well.

This is a fun moderate route with a cool roof move thrown in to boot. Climb up and clip first bolt of "Old Crow". From here follow the moderate corner up and right to a ledge with a small roof above. Continue up and right to a larger roof and sling gear long. Pull roof on great holds (funky gear here - shallow #3 camelot) to easier ground. Be kind to the second and place a directional and continue to the top and lower from shared anchor of "Junk Show". Note: The directional also keeps the second from swinging the rope across a sharp edge at the roof.

After pulling the black roof of Shattered Glass exit right to finish on Cathy's Corner

Stand on top of large boulder to grab the starting jug. Move up face and first crux past 2 bolts. Climb throug black roof and up and right to small mini roof just left of the anchors on Cathy's Corner. Fire through the final compression crux to anchors just up and left of Cathy's Corner's anchors.

From anchors of Tree Hugger climb past 3 bolts to anchors of Old School.

This is a longer var/extension to Old Crow that has a good bit technical climbing and more pump factor. A good route to do if you've already done the original finish.

Climb Old Crow to the ledge half way up. From here, climb past the next bolt before moving right and following two more bolts and gear past techy moves to a good rest below the top. From here clip last bolt and pull funky bulge to the anchor.

Climb the corner on gear up to the roof. Traverse left under roof past a good cam and a bolt and into a gnarly crux. Once around the roof, continue up wall to either an early bail-out at the Treehugger anchors, or continue out the glorious roof on jugs, up and right, past 1 pin and 2 bolts to an anchor (5.11). This is a really fun roof and should not be missed.

SUFFER FEST!!! Climb out the prominent overhanging fist crack on the left side of the cave/pulpit area. Continue up through a smaller roof protected with a #5 camelot to an easy face and a nut anchor at the base of the last roof. Lower here or continue through the yet-to-be-free climbed last roof. Back up the nuts with a finger sized cam to if so desired.

Climb up a series of overhangs past 3 bolts and optional gear to a ledge system then head up and right past 2 more bolts and one gear placement to a double bolt anchor.
