Climb the arete on the right side of the wall where Battle Face and Mountain Corner are found. Ends at the ledge where rap station can be found but those anchors are not very suitable for top roping this route as they are off to the side. Grade is an estimate that will be adjusted later when others chime in. Believe this requires small gear.

The roots of this line are lost in time. The name is made up for reference sake. This is definitely an eye grabbing face/line that you want to ascend as soon as you see it. The grade is a guess from old memory.

A really long single pitch climb that could be broken up into two pitches if desired to reduce rope drag.  The crux of this moderate climb is in the first 40 feet off the ground and the gear placements in this section take some work to achieve.  Obviously done prior to 2000, as I found a stuck cam on the route. Climb up the tricky narrow grove with a crack system crux.  When under a large roof move out the left face and climbing around the roof.  Follow the crack system up and move left into the corner.  At the end of the corner step out left onto easy low angle face.  Follow the flake / small left facing corner to the top another 40ft or so.

If you want to cruise up a corner with good gear and a little untouched feel then this is for you. Ends at anchors.

A long route on Loudon with a beautiful last pitch.  This route was done back in October of 2000 and again a few years latter hard to say if it didn't have an earlier assent.  It is fairly clean except for a few loose blocks on the first pitch.  Start a few feet left of the corner and climb a broken crack system.  Build a gear anchor belay on a small ledge below the clean face.  Follow the flak system on the right side of the face up and under the overhang to the left.  Finish by stepping out around onto the top of the East Face slab and climb another 20ft or so to the top rappel anchors. 

The highest, longest, most peak like cliff section of rock on the mountainside. North facing.
