Climb a hard bouldery start to a big roof to a thin finish.

It is essentially 5.6/5.7 climbing until you reach the 3rd bolt when it gets a little tricky.  A couple desperate moves will get to 4th bolt, and a couple more will get you to the chains.

A steep and powerful start connects with

Misty

up high.

Pura Vida has a steep start to crimps on right side of the arete.

This is a sport line just left of

Starfire

.

This is a sport climb just left of the corner.

Start just left of

Little Rose

in a small, left-facing corner.

It requires a little trickery to get off the ground. Once above the 2nd bolt, there is a really cool sequence on a fin with two large, sloping ledges above. That is definitely the crux.  After you pull the crux, it's pretty much cruising until the one final move to gain the bulge, after which are the chains.  Depending upon your style, body type, etc., the crux moves may constitute an 11- grade.

The route shares a start with

Starfire

.

Start in a bolted seam, and continue to a tricky and thin second half.

Little Rose has a hard start on the arete to face climbing.

This is the first route on the left side wall (the side with a steep ground), it goes through a roof.

This route starts about 20 feet to the right of

Ar'vi Donc

. It is a fun route, however, a bit contrived, as it is much easier if you us the dihedral (and all of its subsequent holds) all the way up to the chains. Pull the first roof on massive jugs, and either use the face holds (more difficult) or stem to the holds on the dihedral to get to the second roof. You can either use the finger cracks to pull the second roof or use the massive ledge out right to gain the next section of the climb. Climb to the anchors on edges, sidepulls, and slimpers. This climb has been led, and could still be, safely on gear, with a bit of a runout at the top. It is probably in the PG-13 range. When Mill Creek Wall is wet, this climb is soaked for days.

This has easy climbing until the 2nd bolt, after which it becomes slightly more difficult.  A handful of techy moves on small crimps lead to a ledge, after which it is very mellow until the chains.

Start in a corner with gear, traverse right to the big roof, and follow a thin section on bolts (the same finish as for the 12c).

Begin under a small roof (two low bolts protect a groundfall), and progress through pretty mellow first section following a seam until you reach the second roof, after which the real business starts. Pull the roof on jugs/sidepulls. A crucial hold has broken since the first ascent, rendering this route more difficult than the original grade of 11+. Progress through a semi-cryptic section for another 25 feet to the chains.
