This fantastic route starts under a darker grey bulge/ledge. There is a tricky move or two near the first bolts, and there is a bit of moss here. The rock cleans up after that and it is well worth doing! Fantastic, sustained moves on grippy rock. Make use of the rest where you find them. Numerous side pulls and in-cut edges lead to a tricky move around the 8th bolt -- just when you've been on sustained climbing for the longest. From there it eases up till the anchors. There is some significant rub on the edge below the anchors so a rappel is perhaps better for your rope than lowering. (name used from Tyler Adam's drawn topo)

Proceed up for 5 bolts before what I feel is the most difficult element, transitioning onto the easy upper ramp where bolts are somewhat generously spaced. 

  70M rope is required to lower (you'll have about 15 feet left). This route shares its anchor with Phadra (.10c/d) and Solstice Party (.10d/11a). 

  Contrary to the venerable Arch topo, there doesn't appear to be a 2nd lower anchor anymore...

Next route to the left of Cold Shut, Two options for last 4 bolts to the first anchors, left is considerd easier. Optional 2nd pitch on 1/4" bolts.

Begins at a belay station about 95 ft from the ground.Takes on the Great Arch's line of weakness heading through very steep terrain on surprisingly positive holds.  Incredible position and well bolted. One rappel with a 60 meter rope will get you back to the belay station.  Two rappels to the ground.  

Steep Face climb just to the left of the Corner Route.

Bolted line on arete at far north end of the great arch.   Admin Note: in 2013, Tyler Adams added a 5.9 sport extension to the route.   Per Tyler's blog post about the route: "Pitch 2: Stay more or less on the arete passing nine more bolts up the the same belay ledge as 'The Peterson Route'. Make two rappels with one rope, or one rappel straight to the ground with two ropes."   quote from "oregonchoss.blogspot.com/&quot; 

  The 2nd pitch bolt line starts right above the first anchors, it stays to the left side of the arete for the first 2 bolts, then moves to the right side of the arete.  The bolts are a bit challenging to see, but they are all there.

A meandering simple route that feels easier then the rated grade. Established by Tyler Adams.

One of the best climbs under the arch. 2nd bolted line to the left of the big arch corner.

The next line left of Forked Route. Start up, encounter a crux pulling the bulge, then enjoy easier climbing to the original anchor. There were definitely 5.10 moves but I felt the crux was the pump. 

  1st continuation: Proceed a ways up & right past two more bolts of 10- to a 2nd chain anchor. 

  2nd continuation: 3 bolts of gritty 5.9 to a final 3-bolt anchor just short of the ceiling. One bolt is 1/4" with infamous dime-thin smc hangar, but the anchor is 3 phat modern bolts.

Follow the wide corner system to 3 bolt belay atop big ledge. Possible mid-pitch belay at anchors atop arete route. Optional sport variation on face above arete route.

Excellent face climbing heads straight up the wall ending at a comfortable belay station. Also the most direct way to access The Big Bad Wolf, 11c.  

5th line from the right under the Arch. 

  Reasonably sustained; IIRC, a middle & upper crux are separated by rests. 

  The route passes a seepage point in the wall and during/after wet season. Avoid using the places where stuff sprouts for feet/hands in this case :)
