This route goes up the SW corner between a small section of rock and the main wall in the heart of The Terminal Area.  It starts in a very bushy/mossy crack (whcih can be avoided by climbng slightly to the right) and then redeems itself with a few interesting moves of crack climbing.

Chimney

Taggart Transcontinental

Hormonal Imbalance

Kiosk of Dharma

Climb the right face of the chimney. Avoid cheating by using the back wall (left). Some of the larger pockets have rat mitten, be aware. The book lists this as 5.10-; maybe it is further right?

Battle a dirty face to a semi-deep chimney. This is pretty good per Castlewood standards.

Climb the face/arete just left of the chimney. Avoid using the back wall (right) of the chimney. A dirty start leads to a semi-pumpy, cobble pinching face. The book rates it 5.10, but it sure felt harder without cheating.

The Terminal Area has several short climbs, mostly on toprope.

Amtrak

(already described on Mountain Project) is on an East-facing section of wall.  Kiosk of Dharma is the second north-facing section to the left of
