One of the best routes at El Rito. Pumpy and sustained after the initial slab.  Cruise up the slabby lower section to a no-hands stance below the steep wall above. Make powerful moves up the faint corner and keep pulling on big holds to the anchor.

Climb up on top of the big flake left of the start of Cobble Wobble to the red face. Climb pockets and edges to the obvious bulge. Pull over the bulge using a couple sequential pockets and holds above the bulge. Continue up and right past a huge hole to the anchors.

After clipping the first bolt is a large move going out right (tougher for shorter people), then continues through a sequency series of pockets to a nice jug (crux). A few more difficult moves will get you over the lip to easier juggy terrain above.

Hard to get to the first couple of bolts and then harder to stay on the arete.  It's easy to step around to the right slab and rest, but a better route if you stick to the arete.

The left most route on Big Pine Wall. Start up the licheny, dirty slab to a big ledge and the first bolt. Climb featured rock past another bolt to a good hueco to start the steeper pink rock middle section. Pull on smaller pockets through the steep middle section and trend a bit left to juggier terrain past a couple more bolts to the anchors. 

This route is actually on the formation just to the right (south) of big pine wall. I included it in big pine wall routes because there is only one route on the formation. Climb up through the three bolts to the anchors. Decent warm up but there are much better routes at El Rito!

From the ground a few feet right of the start of Cobble Wobble, climb the big flake to the left end of the ledge. Clip the first bolt just above the ledge and climb up the initial corner and onto the face to a big, semi-dirty flake.

 Bust onto the slightly overhanging face through a sequential couple of moves on thinner crimps to neat pockets up to a bulge in the black streak. Climb jugs around and over the bulge to a few more pumpy moves to the anchor.

Very nice, and sustained route, with bolts in all the wrong places. After getting though the first bolt, either reach high from a jug way below the bolt or climb to a jug above the bolt and clip at your waist (ground fall potential). Sequency and sustained portion of moves through the third and fourth bolt and the crux is getting past the lip onto easier terrain above.

Starts up a low angled easy "hike", becoming steeper though the central crux area (pretty much one move, a sloper or a side-pull, depending on how you chose to do the move). Lets up toward the top.   The route used to cut right near the top to shared anchors with Squeeze My Cobbles but got its own separate anchors in July 2017. There's also an additional lead protection bolt en route to the new anchors making for some fun bonus moves.

West facing, slightly overhung to vertical wall south of Beer Block. A 5.11 version of the Rad Wall--similar in nature but not quite as steep. Cobble Wobble is one of the best 5.10s at El Rito and not to be missed. Once you've done that, Squeeze My Cobbles is one of the best 5.11s at El Rito and should be next on your list.
