Starts as an arete (reachy first crux near the 2nd bolt), then becomes a left-slanting face climb with poor feet (second crux)

Scissim

Mostly 5.7-5.8, with a 5.9-ish crux protected by 2 closely spaced blots at about the 2/3-way point.

Squeeze in the crack or go out on the face for the first two clips, then move up onto a blocky, burly section.

Fun climbing, but lead falls up high could be sketchy (blocky ledges).

starts with big ledges, interesting sort of open book mid way.

Starts just right of Heebie-Jeebies with overhanging blocks, uses more finger locks and hand jams. Follows inside corner, staying on left side mostly. Watch out for loose rock on the left side prow. Have the belayer stay to the right.

This climb packs a punch for all 40 feet.

This is a 2nd pitch that could be started at the anchor of Wonky or the pedestal belay at the top of Bamboozled. It follows cracks to the right of the Wonky anchor, at about half way is a sloping slab with the Scissim anchor on the far left. A finger crack goes up here, either finish left on Scissim top anchor with tricky traverse around arrete on the left, or follow bolts out right to Central East wall anchor. There are many variations one could do. To the left of the Wonky anchor is a left facing corner with a thin crack, short but fun 10b. Above this after the slab is a bolted face- Industrial Strength- 11b.

Tricky start, perplexing move after 1st bolt, interesting mid section, crimpy finish, at the last couple of bolts you can go left for hard crimp, or right for more jugs.

This is a short face climb above the slab where the Scissim 2nd pitch anchor is. It does not really have anything to do with other routes on this face so I am separating it out to be on it's own.

A fun challenging 5.10, I thought it was 5.9, but the  crux moves are reachy. Climb up a big ledge and follow a wonky finger crack, could use pro, but only places for fingers. Pull up to another big ledge, perplexing moves to gain next good holds, top out on slab to ledge with chain anchor above on upper buttress to the right.

First route you encounter as you walk in from the left side.

many roof pull-ups. Be very careful with the blocky corner on the right- really suspect loose rock.have belayer stay to the left, wet early season.

The furthest route right so far, a cave on the right.

Starts on slab just right of chossy red rock. Climbs through two roofs near the cave.

I would have given this 3 stars for the roof part, but the lower slab start kinda sucks.

ATTENTION, THIS ROUTE NEEDS SOME WORK FOR THE START, BOLTING AND CLEANING NEEDED.

starts just right of Gossamer, traverses right onto buttress right and above Gossamer.

This is a 2nd pitch option, starts at Bamboozled pedestal anchor. Follow ramps in a rightward rising traverse, inside corner to overhang, look for bolt above on the left, thin finger lock holds, gain big ledge with nice layback crack with bigger roof overhead, bolt above this protects crazy pullup and 1 more bolt to anchor on right end of the top of Winterblock. There is a escape traverse to the left of the roof, follow bolt to center wall anchor.

This route is a solid 5.9 that enhances long and lanky moves to maneuver to the next move. Getting above third bolt is certainly the crux. Avoid moving into the crack on the right side of the wall as the rock is very loose and dangerous. Enjoy yourself on the route because its a long hike back down to the base.

This is a three pitch connection of various cracks staying on the left side of the east face of Winterblock. The upper half of the east face is some sort of Diorite, climbs cracks like Granite.

pitch 1) 2nd route in from left, slanting crack to big ledge, 5.7

pitch 2) hand crack, face climb slab, blocky bulge can be bypassed on left into open book to chain anchor     5.6

pitch 3) directly above is overhanging finger and hand crack, highly recommend taping fingers- rough diorite.  follow LFC to top out, anchor on buttress to the right.     10a

This could be climbed as 1 pitch, but I had requests to add anchor at top of 5.6 for those folks wishing to stop there.
