P1 5.11b 100 ft. Start at horizontal flake then follow bolts up to center of the treeledge. Bolts 1-3 are close together (for good reason) andangle slightly left.  There is a TCU placement after bolt 3 and another optionalcam under last bolt. Expect a run out near the top on5.9ish terrain. P2 5.11a 170 ft. two goes straight up following a groove past some bolts and small gear, then up and slight left on more gearand an easy run out to anchors. Bring a smallrack and TWO 60M ropes to get down!!.

Still Waters climbs a varied bit of terrain; including a chimney/flake, a shallow corner, a water groove and some feisty face climbing.  Pitch 1 - Climb up a large chimney/flake to a ledge with a tree.  Some determined face climbing past two bolts leads to some pro and the short left facing corner.  Finesse your way up the corner to a stance and a bolt.  A bit of thin slabbing gets you to a ledge with anchors.  5.11.  100 ft.  3 bolts and small gear.Pitch 2 - Crimp, edge and smear your way up the face a bit right past past several bolts (an old one out right) to the left edge of a ledge with anchors.  5.10.  100 feet.  6 bolts.Pitch 3 - Continue up the left edge of a water groove past several bolts to anchors.  5.9.  100 feet.  4 bolts and a small/medium cam.

Pitch 1: Climb the right facing wide flake through the bulge. Continue up the corner above utilizing face to the tree ledge. Belay on the right above the first pitch. Stephen Scoff was the first to climb this pitch. Pitch2: Climb up and right off the ledge through jugs to gain the laser straight groove. Climb past 3 bolts gaining a perfect belay ledge at the base of a crack system. Pitch 3: Climb the crack till it ends and continue up water groove to a two bolt anchor. Rap to the ledge above pitch 1 using 2 60 meter ropes then from that ledge to the ground with one 60m rope. Alternate walk to another route nearby and rap that route as all the newer routes seem to have been equipped to rap with a single 60m. 

From the third bolt on Spector, float up and right clipping 7 more bolts while wailing over the crux bulge/roofy thing.  Shares an anchor at left end of mossy ledge with Spector.  A completely separate second pitch is being schemed.

Pitch one is 5.9 face passing a moss pad and a small roof.Pitch two has a few 5.11 moves to start on fabulous nubs.Best done as one long pitch.  A 60 barely gets you down!  Be careful if lowering.

1.  Hard moves throughout this pitch will jangle your nerves.  This line may be haunted: mid-climb on Halloween Day a hanger mysteriously fell off....  There are lots of scary, slopey knobs to pinch and pull on.   Go up three bolts then follow bolts left into short corner cappped with a small roof.  After bolt above roof is a .75 Camalot placement.  Anchor is on tree ledge to right.  100 feet. 2. 5.9 watergroove up to anchor. 100 feet.  3. 5.6 watergroove to either pine on left or Highway 11 anchor to right.  100 feet. 

Sort of cruxy start, not a bad idea to stick clip because of starting on ledge. After first bolt trend a bit up and right where you can place a small cam. Head up for a few more bolts before you reach the crux that goes over a slight bulge. Delicate moves on crappy feet and then keep it together until you can get to the bolt out left. Follow the obvious line and finish on Route 66 anchors. 

Route 66 is on the leftish side of blocks, this route is on the right side.  

 From the ground make some great mega monkey moves through the blocky corner, lie back or maybe chimney, a number two is nice to protect these moves, then step onto the face and fire up through 5 bolts to the tree ledge, continue up and left on a very easy flake/crack to a two bolt anchor on top of the giant loose flake system.

 p-2 5.9 Continue directly up the face here on 6 bolts, and one red alien placement way up top. Rap with a 70 Fun to link this first pitch into p2 of My Religion.

Starts atop large block that is above a dead pine with a singlebolt belay, just right of surreal swirled rock. Blast straightup through thin crux moves then follow the obvious feature up andleft to the right end of the forested ledge. Pitch two goes straight up to a set of anchors.

P1.  5.10  Wander up the face following bolts, cross the water groove and gain anchor.P2 5.7  continue to follow bolts and the edge of the groove feature. (option to go climbers left up another goove(bolted)P3 5.6 The slab rolls in and climbing gets easier

After all the work by the C4 crew constructing the new Pumpkintown trail, it felt like we needed a vacation, but why travel.Look for the vegetated ramp that rises up and right. Follow until you reach the pine tree, sling if you are worried about clipping the first bolt. Cast off onto the slab clipping three bolts. Pull the bulge to the left at the third bolt. Continue up past some thin face climbing and two more bolts. The belay ledge feels solid, but I would still avoid pulling out on it. 6 bolts and a long sling for the tree.From the belay, move up and left to a shallow groove feature. Keep following bolts until you reach the flake features. Avoid the bad flake with the bolt near it, you can circle it to the right. Get up to another flake feature and place some gear. Move past one more bolt then to the anchors. Bring a #2 and some tricams (or medium sized pro) for this pitch. 6 bolts.

A really fun climb with a mix of face (p1) and watergroove (p2). Dries quickly after a rain.Amazing knobs and crystals on P1. Much of the climbing is slightly right of the bolts on P1 until the last two bolts. Delicate and technical movement get you to the first anchor at a big ledge. For P2, move left into the tricky and sustained watergroove. Bring a #2 and 0.4 for this pitch. 

Nice moderate to easy route. High fives to the route makers. The granite  features at Pumpkintown are quite cool and this one shows off a smattering of Knobs and grooves over its two pitches. 

 

There is a large obvious buttress near the center of P-Town.  This wall is to the left.  Superb face climbing is this areas calling card.  Most routes also boast water groove features as co-stars.
