The best route on the crag, and one of the best face climbs in Leavenworth.

Interesting variety of holds. Some are high friction granite, while some feel almost like sandstone.

You must try this pitch.

Clip a high-ish 1st bolt then trend up and left along a ramp feature to a bulge. Pull over this on good holds and trend right to a thin crack feature which leads straight up to the 3 bolt anchor (no chains). Small stoppers protect the crack and a 3/4 - 1 in. cam can be used between the 1st and 2nd bolts. Crux was getting over the bulge but the pitch is sustained.

Small rib just of the trail below the Silhouttes slab.

Follow a thin crack up to a bolt then traverse right to the second bolt and continue up past two more bolts to the top of the wall. Crux is below the first bolt.

Slab climb to the right of Silhouettes. Start below the big rock on the ledge, head up and right past two bolts to the ledge, then continue up the upper face past two more bolts to the top of the slab.

Climb past an overhang protecting with trad gear. Eventually move right to the steep perfect face and clip a bolt. Follow good, but strangely spaced bolts up a very good section of climbing.
