Tour of Duty

P1: 11b. Start up "Whipnatize" (5.11b), then climb fourth class to a bolted face leading to a large treed ledge (5.10a).

P2: 10c. A fun sport pitch on jugs leads to a hanging belay below a triangular roof.

P3: 11c. Climb up and right from the belay with one 11c move to get onto the headwall. Continue to a small ledge belay to the right of the lone tree on the headwall.

P4: 11b. Climb a discontinuous crack to a two-tree ledge. There is an open project to the left of this pitch.

P5: 11c. The fifth pitch uses gear in a crack to start then traverses left under a roof to a flare with bolts to the top.

Starts as a variation finish to the third pitch of "Tales From Zahajko".

P1: From midway up P3 of Tales, traverse right to the left overhang of the right set of "eyes" on the headwall.

P2: 11d. Climb out a flare to thin face climbing past bolts and two pins in a discontinuous crack to a belay. This with the headwall pitches of "Humble Pie" and perhaps the last pitch of "Tour of Duty" are the best pitches on the wall.

P3: 10a. Climb up a knobby overhanging block past a bolt to easier gear climbing through ledges and roofs to the top.

The first pitch is the same as "Tour of Duty". To repeat that info:

Start from a gold-colored bolt atop a pedestal on the left side of the wall.

P1: 11b. Bouldery start up clean rock (5.11b) then turns to fourth class for the second half of the pitch.

P2: 11b. Also a bouldery start. Go under an overhang then up to the right side of an obvious boulder to a large belay.

P3: 10b. Scale the black pillar to the base of the headwall.

P4: 11c. Here the fun really starts. 11c face climbing on an otherwise blank wall leads to a belay in an alcove.

P5: 10b. Moderate climbing to a ledge that then traverses right (5.10b) on a large rail to a belay on a large ledge with two trees. Here you can join the last pitch of "Tales From Zahajko" or rappel.

Every pitch on this route is good.

Start from a gold-colored bolt atop a pedestal on the left side of the wall.

P1: 11b. Bouldery start up clean rock (5.11b) then turns to fourth class for the second half of the pitch.

P2: 11b. Start in a finger crack, then pull left around a corner to friable face climbing past two bolts (5.11b). This is the lowest quality pitch on the route.

P3: 5.9. Finger crack to face moves past a bolt (the last on the route) and back into splitter hands to the base of the obvious black corner on the left side of the headwall.

P4: 10b. Corner crack with small to large gear.

P5: 10c. Leave the right corner of the left overhang through a hand crack that then angles left through an undercling to the top. Superb.
