This fun route climbs up good holds to an incut seam.  A gaston/fingerlock move at the top leads you to a solid topout.

Start low, move up to the big pocket, then move up and right through the seam and up over the top.

The landing really isn't great and has been built up with a bunch of sticks and logs, so be sure to pad the area well and make sure your spotters are paying attention for the topout.  A fall from up there could easily lead to a broken bone or two.

A Joe's classic.  Start the same as Wills of Fire on the lower right side of the wall, but move left at the big pocket with a big gaston move.  From there either do the big dyno straight up or cheat a little and move way out left to a sidepull before hitting the top hold.  Topout straight above.

Sit start on crimp rail and right hand gaston. Climb decent holds to a big move right to the start of the stand.

I've noticed that Joe's Valley seems to have a collection of boulders V9-12 that are rarely done, despite being known about and ranking amongst the best in the area. Maybe it's the lack of beta videos, or longer approaches? Some of these lines include Zodiac, Zero, and Kill List. Anyway, this is a lesser popular V11 that deserves to be popular, and it probably would be, if not for the heinous (by Joe's standards) approach.

Start standing in the middle of the face on a left hand crimp, right hand slopey pocket feature. Three moves on dishes and pockets culminate in a long throw to a good hole. Though the crux is over, the climb is not. Long reaches between positive pockets lead to a relatively easy, but quite high and scary lip encounter via some hidden slopey dishes. Pull over the lip at around 20ish feet, and continue up the huge 5.2 slab to the summit. Simply brilliant.

An excellent and fun crimp problem. Low in the grade.

Sit start on the obvious diagonal crack/jug. Left hand to pinch/sidepull. Move past a couple of bad crimps to a good crimp in the middle of the face. Move up and left to a rail, and then up to the lip, and an easy top out.

Begin almost lying down in the back of the cave, on the cool tufa/rail feature.  360 degree climbing through slopers, jugs, and dishes gets you to the lip.  Continue up sandy jugs and snappy edges (V6 R) to a tall topout.

Begin with hands on each side of corner. Then traverse up and right on good rails. Be prepared for a sandy top-out. Staying in the darker rock avoids most of the choss.

The backside of Wills A Fire/Beyond Life houses a large, impressive 65° overhang. Currently, only 1 line goes out of it, the high start being a new school classic known as Pagan Poetry.

Start on a glossy RH sidepull and LH edge immediately above it, about halfway up the wall. Pull on and fire right to an incut crimp, holding a difficult swing and taking care not to dab. Move in left to undercling, then deadpoint right hand to jug/pocket. Move to lip and topout.

As PP starts in a slightly in-obvious position (compared to Pegasus or PP Low), and has only decent rock with a dab factor on the crux, I’ve given it 3 stars. It makes up for what it lacks in visuals on the wall, and is rightfully popular.

Sit start low with a jug flake for the left hand and a slopey sidepull for the right. Move up to two edges in the seam and move right to a sloper jug around the prow. Mantel onto the face and climb easy moves through some brittle rock to a high top out.

The crux is more or less the first move.  Either campus or smear your way to a decent jug out to the right.  Match.  Right hand up to a crimp out right and either match or go up big and left to a knob (try to grab on the left side of it).  Cut feet, put them up on the jug (that you campused too) and then go right hand for the right side of the slot.  Punch to the arete.  Lots of people get intimidated by the top out so beware.

Used to be a tree here and well... the route is called Lumberjack.

Starts on two crimps in the center of the boulder. Moves left to a cool tufa then punches to the jug. Traverse right using a heel hook and finish around the corner.

While there is potential for a seriously disastrous fall, this risk seemed low with appropriate spotting.

Awesome tall route. The obvious line of jugs and flakes on the boulder on your left when scrambling up towards Wills of Fire etc. Climb right on big moves between big holds, then trend onto smaller holds towards the top to a good topout.

This is an excellent problem (despite being a lip traverse) on high quality sandstone. Harder and more beta intensive than it looks.

Sit start on the far right side of the face, with your hands mathched on a hold, right hand crimp, left hand blocky pinch. Pull on and slap up and left to the lip. Traverse up and left along the slippery lip to a jug at the apex. Finish with a slightly committing mantle.

I thought this seemed a bit hard for the grade, but my crimping isn't what I'd like it to be...Start matched on the slash feature with your right hand in an incut at the far left of the rail and your left hand anywhere else on the rail.Very aesthetic climbing on gorgeous slashes in the face are what this problem is all about. The holds lend themselves to very tension-filled moves and the crux is right in the middle with a very powerful deadpoint. This is a fine problem in every regard.Pad the landing well.The sit is called, shockingly, Beyond Life Sit and was originally called V12 by the first ascentionist (or this was widely regarded as consensus for some time). Some folks call it V11 these days. Arm span for this particular climb (not total body length, seems like long arms and short legs would fit very well) is a huge determining factor in the difficulty.

May need some brushing as it was a bit sandy when we got there and there was no chalk. Start matched on jug rail, move right to a 2 finger pocket. Traverse left through the crux sequence involving a sloper rail, a crimpy sidepull dish and a left hand throw to the arete pinch. Move up to the sloper ledge that isn't quite as good as you'd like considering the rock below and behind. Trust it and throw left to the thank goodness meat hook spine jug on the arete. Match and then heel hook or hemhock your way over and ontop
