The rock resembles the plates on a turtle shell, hence the name.  The route uses creative moves and varied techniques to reach the big shelf above the second bolt, then jugs up and left to the anchor.  Crux is moving past the second bolt.

As stated in the comment by Karl R. Kiser on the main Alcohol Wall South page, this is Just Plain Stupid.  I'm adding it for the sake of completeness. Note to budding trad leaders: kinda a long way from the ground to the first gear placement.  Then after some more gear placements, a runout 4th class section to the first bolt.  And the last move to the chains may be a bit harder than 5.7; YMMV.

Much more fun than the dark uninviting corner suggests. Bouldery moves between good rests. Crux is right after you clip the second bolt. Then easier climbing to shared anchor with Brain Cramps.

Climb up the small detached formation on the left side of the large break in the wall. Clip the second bolt, then move up and right past an awkward move below the third bolt. I had to hump the wall while reaching blindly to the right but I'm sure there's an easier way to do this. From there its straight forward climbing on great rock to a small bulge below the chains. One of the longest moderates at Socorro. Well worth a climb.

This recently retroed route now sports 6 bolts,  Start up off the ground making a few tricky moves passing the first bolt.  From here it is a jughaul until the obvious blank spot with the large jueco.  Figure out how to get to the hueco and make some cruxy moves passing it.  Once established above, continue up easier ground to the anchors.

A very unique sport climb.  A mix of sidepulls and underclings with some technical and sequency moves thrown in.  You would normally expect to find moves like this while traversing under a roof on a trad climb. 

  Start up a blunt arete on easy ground past the first bolt to the second bolt.  Now take a deep breath and figure out where your going.  From here continue left past three bolts trying to stay fresh as each moves is harder than the last.  The last clip on the traverse is quite difficult but the previous clip isn't far away. 

  Next pull the crux moves straight up over the bulge, grab a jug clip the sixth bolt and head to the anchors. 

  Now the next crux is cleaning the route.  Proficient use of a stick clip is nice to get the first draw, or just boulder up to get it.  Beware of the swing back into the wall behind.

Good climb the crux is passing the second bolt. A lieback and high reach gets you thru the crux. Blocky but good climbing above. Stay left near the top to avoid potentially loose rock.

Easy climbing to high first bolt. Hand over hand moves take you left of the second bolt to a great hold and powerful move over the crux. Easier climbing takes you past two more bolts to chain anchors.  Joins Twisted at the 4th bolt.

High first bolt that requires a balancy move out to the left onto a slab. Its possible to place protection in a horizontal halfway up to the bolt. Finish the slab with better holds to a standup rest on a balanced plate where you can clip the third bolt. Its vertical from here with the crux being the moves off the rest. Great rock with sustained climbing past 4 bolts to the chains. Another long Socorro moderate that gets sun during winter afternoons.

8 bolts.  To the right of Climbing while intoxicated.  Start up Barfly Blues and step across at the first ledge 6 feet off the ground.  2 bolts up the slab gets you to the start of the first steep wall. The line mainly stays to the left of the bolt line.

Climb up to a high first bolt in the middle of the face, I did not find any gear before the bolt. After the bolt move up on some right facing holds to a slanting pocket/slot feature that will take a cam in the best part, so don't pace it untill your ready to move on. Make some interesting moves up to good holds at lip of a small bulge and the second bolt. More difficult moves gets your feet up and over the bulge. Follow a seam feature up that takes a stopper in a place or two. Higher you can get a cam in a V-notch on your way to the anchor.

Easy climbing off the ground to a shelf where you can easily clip the second bolt. Pulling over the bulge between the 2nd and 3rd bolts is the crux of the climb. After the 5th bolt go left for a 5.8 finish to the chains or right for an easier 5.6 variation.

Left of public Intoxication. Climb through 6 bolts to the anchor using a few hand jams up a corner then back out on the face.  

  Not sure of the grade, the route was dripping water during first assent, the route may be easier.

Located on the left side of the obvious cave on the right side of Alcohol South Wall, "Get Shorty" is the easier, direct, left variation to Power Play. It’s crux is right before it joins “Power Play” (or shared with it, depending on how you do that route). Most of the climbing below this is relatively easy, by comparison.

A good winter wall for the moderate climber looking for classic 5.9's.  Beware that most of the other routes on this wall are mixed, so take gear if you want to climb the 5.10's. 

  The majority of this wall is directly south facing, so this gets a good bit of winter sun from early morning to late afternoon.  A small portion of this wall with some harder climbing is west facing, although you will be happy for cooler temps on these climbs. 

  From Left to Right the climbs are: 

  London Fog 5.11, Sport 

Public Intoxication (5.10d, mixed)   Climbing While Intoxicated (5.10b, mixed)   Brain Cramps (5.12 a/b, mixed)   Spinal Spasms (5.11, mixed) 

Barfly Blues (5.9, Sport)   Meat Market (5.10c, Sport) 

Another Round (5.9, Sport)   Get Shorty (5.11++, Sport) 

Power Play (5.12b, Sport) 

  As stated in the comment by Karl R. Kiser, There are four additional routes on lower Alcohol Wall South. They are as follows from left to right: 

  Just Plain Stupid (5.7, mixed): Use gear at bottom. The route shares anchor and top two bolts with Plate Techtonics.   Plate Techtonics (5.10/5.10+, sport) 

Blitzed (5.8, sport): shares anchor with Twisted 

Twisted (5.8, sport)
