Strenuous and great! Truly a battle with the offwidth if you aren't an offwidth freak. No particularly hard moves, but requires endurance.

Kind of creepy. Cool stemming moves. More interesting than "La Cosita, Right." Careful where you run the rope if toproping.

Definitely slick. Way harder if you don't keep moving. Don't overprotect. You get good rests every so often.

Don't give in to the temptation to grab the chains! The mantle move at the chains is the crux. If you toprope your second from the tree, your rope will get majorly twisted.

Second pitch is outstanding. Great twin hand cracks. If doing the first pitch variation, it's easier to protect the right side of the flake. However, it is a really awkward move to get to the right side.

Totally not worth the time. There are a couple of good pitches but it is more of an alpine experience without the summit. Tricky route finding at the end of the 3rd class, head for the dead tree. Doing the last pitch is kind of silly if you plan to rappel. Granted, it is a moderate route up an enormous face but make sure it is worth an entire day to you, half of which will be spent rappelling. The rappel route is easy to follow and if you're careful you won't have any issues getting your ropes stuck. Absolutely incredible view of Cathedral Rocks if you're near the top of the route late afternoon.

Really great! First pitch is okay but second pitch is excellent. It is reminiscent of the third pitch of "Moby Grape" at Cannon Cliff, NH only a little easier.

Hard to spot. If you get to a point where you are at the top of a steep hill and can see massive rockfall in a really wide open space (also a detached flake leaning against the wall), turn around and start scrambling up toward the face. Great route. Mix between slab and crack climbing.

No excuse to skip this one. Second pitch is spectacular. Third pitch is a bit run-out but it's easy 5.7 with small flakes for holds. Bolted anchor is gone at top of "The Boltway" so don't plan on varying onto it.

Except for the 5.9 move at the start, this climb is no harder than 5.8. The 5.8 roof is tough if you are short. Great gear throughout and awesome view of Fairview from the top.
