Start up the obvious easy crack system in the center of the wall. Continue straight up through the center of the black and tan bulge in the middle of the wall, moving slightly left toward the top as the angle decreases, then straight up toward the anchor.

Expect reachy, powerful moves on sharp holds through the initial crux bulge for 3 clips. Stay focused up top through easier, but still technical terrain as the angle decreases all the way to the anchor.

DA ILLA PILLA

Who Dunnit?

Start up the blocky crack that splits the face, then bend left under the monstrous bulge. Bust out to the perfect arête and begin slapping your way up! Expect powerful, techy climbing and working to answer the question: "How do I clip when both hands are squeezing the arête for dear life!?"

Begin on low angle yet technical terrain, and continue up the ever steepening corner.  At about 60 feet the climb goes back to lower angle terrain, yet still remains challenging.

Stem, jam and crimp your way up this killer climb.

Begin just left of Da Illa Pilla rock pedestal on a steep section with a blocky pinch.  Cruxy getting to the second bolt.  Stem your way up the dihedral and puzzle your way out onto the face on thin holds at the top.

Up face for several bolts and before merging left into crack for Lamb of Cheese

This route would be 4 stars anywhere, but stands out in Tensleep as the climbing is atypical for the area - steep compression and climbing up a singular feature for the duration of the climb.

Begin with some long pulls in the sandstone band low on the wall then navigate the crack just as the pillar steepens.  At bolt three the climb launches up a narrow steep refrigerator with less than ideal holds and essential heel hooks that make for some spicy clipping positions.  Find a marginal rest as the angle switches to vert then launch into another very tricky two bolt sequence before you get the chance to breath as you stand at the slab stance with 50 feet of pure joy remaining above you.  Although the climbing from here to the chains is much easier the sequences and position could not be more engaging and amazing as you continue to climb the pillar that protrudes from the rest of the wall all the way to the chains.

This is easily in the running for best low end 5.13 in Tensleep Canyon.  DO THIS CLIMB !

The long, left facing dihedral located on the far right side of the 'Cheese Roof' area.

Start on stacked blocks and climb through sandy rock  for a few bolts, then jam, lock, stem, and lieback your way up the long crack/corner feature for almost 100 feet.
