Bouldery start to a ledge.  Mostly sidepulls and slopers from there to the anchors.  Should clean up well with more traffic.

5.8 climbing for the first 2 bolts, then long reaches between good holds. Crux at the 5th bolt.

Belayer might want to clip in to short fixed rope.

Former R/X gear route, bolted with permission from the first ascensionist.  Juggy climbing in a shallow dihedral to a clean upper face.  No crux move, just surprisingly steep for the grade, with stemming and big holds.  Probably the best moderate route at the Aretes.

Wussy Boy (pronounced with an "Arnie the bodybuilder" accent as in "u duu nut sawppert da vaar? u moost b ah Vuuussy Boy!") starts in rock very similar to that of Girly Man. Largish, slopey, blocky holds take you through the crux. If only the next section were longer. After the second bolt the limestone becomes quite featured with incuts and giant sinker jugs. Pull and stem (backstep) past the third bolt to more wild buckets as the angle eases off and a good stance is found for clipping the anchor.

Girly Man (pronounced with a Governator accent as in "U duuu naaught drive z Huuummah? u are juist ah Gerliie Maan") starts on vertical terrain and up through a slight bulge on largish sloping holds. After clipping the first bolt work your way straight up to the second bolt (crux). Pass the second bolt just to the right, to a no hands rest before stepping up into an interesting fluted section and the third bolt. Stem up the flutes to an amazing deep jug. Clip the fourth bolt and finish with a couple exciting moves up and right to the anchor.

She Male is a great intro to the Trinity Aretes. This route features a nice diversity of limestone types which keep the entire climb interesting. The lower portion of the route climbs generally square cut blocky holds to about the fifth bolt. Although the holds on the lower section are square cut edges these edges do not always go the "right" way. Feel your way up the steepening blocky holds past the 3rd bolt and out to the lip of the small roof (crux). Pull up and over a couple more overlaps past the 5th bolt. At this point the rock transitions into a series of rounded bulges with very fun and interesting holds. Wind your way up and through the wild features for 4 more bolts to the anchor.
