Who doesn't love contrived climbs? Start matched on the same hold as

West Face Mantel

. Go straight up using some trickery and avoiding the good holds out right and left.

This adds a sit down start to the

West Roof

(V2).

Start on a low upward facing triangle flake on the southwest (lower right) corner of the boulder. Move to a pocket on the arete, climb the crimps of the

West Roof

to the lip, and top out.

SDS on the jug flakes under the roof, the same start as

West Roof Direct

, traverse rightwards, with the crux coming early as you round the corner. This reverses

Mateus' Highstep

in typical Flagstaff, lowball, traversing style, though because you stay low, the crux is differentiated.

This is great if you're leaving the pad at home!

Broken Wing is a variation of

West Roof Direct

excluding the pocket and arete holds. The essence of the climb is to use the 4 to 5 razor crimps. This line would be very, very good and unique for Flagstaff if not for the slightly contrived nature (arete is off). Still it's worth doing, so long as you bring your well-callused tips and steel tendons.

From Ben's 8a.nu page, "sit start as for

West Roof Direct

(on the big flakes). Make a big move out left to the right start hold of "

Face With No Name

," and work the three really small crimps directly above the start holds to the topout. The arete is off. The grade is a guess."

I made a big move directly up with the right hand (one move higher than beta below) then moved left the start hold of "

Face With No Name

" then upwards.

8a.nu grades.

Beta:

Start on two face level crimps at the southwest (lower right) end of the boulder. Pull on, move up and left to the lip of the boulder, and top out.

Just left of the tree are two jugs start on the left jug, move right and make a move up however you can. All low feet are on.

Climb straight out the bulge onto the slab from a sds and continue to the top. To start, get a good RH gaston and LH sidepull in a shallow hole where it looks like a cobble used to reside. Stand up on a foot ledge (ALL the low feet are on), consider readjusting your LH up a couple inches into a sidepull undercling (in the same shallow hole), and crossover hard and fast with your RH almost 5 feet to a good edge at the lip. Now match and get creative with the multitude of dismal features past the lip to pull the bulge with style and dash up the slab. This is harder than it looks, and you may off-route the good foot ledge out left during the topout to solidify the grade even more.

Start on the far right side of the formation, and traverse left to the topout of

West Roof Direct

.  This is an excellent, long traverse that's finger strength and beta intensive rounding the corner. It stays dry after snow, surprisingly.

On the right side of the Face Wall, pull up to the ledge, and either work left up the ramp or pull straight up on slightly harder moves. You're pretty high up at that point.
