Shares a hard start with Altaworld then splits right after clipping the 3rd bolt to follow a diagonal line of nice pockets and slopers that make a sweeping curve up the right side of the wall.  This climb feels a bit less sustained than Altaworld in the middle but has a steeper, more intense finish.

Awesome movement on somewhat dirty limestone. With more traffic this would clean up and be a 5 star route, I would advise a helmet for your belayer as you will encounter loose rock on the initial 30 feet, and smaller rock on the bulk of it. One of the most aesthetic lines at Hellgate.

Start on Our Lady of the Crags and split left after clipping the 5th bolt.  Follow pockets, crimps, and slopers straight up the center of the steep face.  There's a crux half way up the face and another (harder) crux after the last bolt.

Climb 40 feet of low-angle rock past 4 bolts and then the fun begins as you work to get established on the prominent overhanging arête. The line generally follows a weakness on the left side of the arête. An upper crux guards the first set of chains which is the .11a finish. Some people climbing this for a warm up have opted to stop at this first set of anchors, but it can be fun to continue with an airy leftward shuffle along the lip past another bolt to Speculator's anchor. Climbing the extension bumps it up maybe to .11b: no hard moves, just extra steep jugs that pump the right arm.

Juggy climbing, long blind reaches, and fun mantels up two big overhangs. The crux involves a reachy move to a well-hidden jug pocket above the second overhang.  Bad rock on the first 20 feet but it gets much better above that.  Great views on top.
