Start on the rounded sloper of The portal, climb right to exit at nearly the same place as Crash Quartz in Crimping. This line moves diagonally up right. We used a vertical quartz seem below the top to make our final move to the lip and top out.

start on the really nice sloper and work left and then up to top out. Great climb.

Sit start on the 2nd horizontal crack from the bottom where the rock is stained black. Dyno/deadpoint the finger buckets and top out.

Begin underneath the arete/overhang on a giant undercling. Move up to the sharp arete/fin feature and then move to up until a jug on the arete. Make a long move up to a peach colored face with a incut crimper rail and then move to the lip jug. You can roll straight out on the slab if you want the full value problem or you can trend up around to the right and top out using the right edge of the slab.

A bit of an eliminate. Dont use the ledge right of the arete, otherwise it wouldnt be as much fun.

Start in the obvious horizontal crack and move up and left over the bulge to top out.

Sit start, crimps on a face left of the left leaning arete.

This route heads up and then leans right. There are variations to be done off of this route.

sit start, up left on the left leaning arete topping out left

Sit start on the rail and top out the face of the boulder using fun slopers. Oddly challenging lowball.

Sit start on the quartz ledge inside of the minicave. Problem trends right through a series of flakes under the roof before topping out to the left on bomber quartz crimps. 

  A bit of an eliminate, avoid use of the side walls of the cave for the full grade.

Your left hand starts on a great dish on the overhang. The right hand has a few options from matching to being crossed under on other holds. Move up to the slopers on the lower slab. Then, move up to the slightly incut crimper on the slab and rock upward to get a grip with your right hand and then stand up and climb out.   It's the same sit start same as "Duped..." but go straight up onto the slab.

ss, move out left to crimps from under the roof then up

Jump start with right side pull to reach the large ledge on the left side of the boulder. Roll up to a jug and top out to the right.

If only this problem were much bigger, or you were much smaller. A superb problem for a kid and a fun problem for an adult. Beautiful (but very short) arete.

Stand start in the cave matched on the cool openhanded hold with the triangle incut. Transition under the choke stone and work your way out the sloper ledge on the right side of the roof until you can move left onto the face of the boulder and top out.

Sit start on the 2nd horizontal crack from the ground below the only major vertical crack on the rock face. Problem was named Pancake after a flat hand jam moved needed to make the send go at the prescribed grade.

sit start, follow the lip of this block to the left edge and mantle up

sit start, beginning on the dish hold that gives Dish Network its name. Then move left to the arete on crimps. When you get to the arete use holds on the left and on the right side and work your way up the arete to top out.

Sitting on the eastern shoulder of Elk Ridge is a smaller cliff, compared to Balcony Rock and Balcony Jr., with some nice routes and bouldering. The cliff is mostly of interest to climbers who are visiting Balcony Rock or Balcony Jr. and are seeking another set of short routes with easy top rope setup. The cliff is about 30 feet tall or shorter, with numerous juggy lines and one really nice right leaning crack.  It faces south.
