Start amongst boulders and climb an steep brown face with mostly good holds to anchors at the top. This is another fun route to do if in the area and it's location is extremely sheltered from the wind. Two stars out of five.

Visible from the parking area, this distinctive arete is perhaps the best route in The Asylum and fully worth the short hike to access it.

The lower section is a balancy, sharp arete which gives way to an easier middle section. The crux comes at the very end with small edges on excellent rock, and while possible to "escape" left and make this a little easier, the better rock and moves lie straight up.

Great rock, excellent position and engaging technical moves make this a stellar route. Four stars out of five.

Easy moves up the corner lead to a solitary bolt, which protects a thin face traverse (reachy move) out left to jugs. Easier moves follow and lead to the anchors.

Originally climbed without any bolts, another party came along (in 1989) thinking the route unclimbed and added the bolt and anchors, which is how it now stands. This climb offers a nice blend of crack and face climbing in a somewhat secluded area. Two stars out of five.

An overhanging start on large holds soon gives way to a steep slab requiring the usual balance and footwork; the interesting combination of steep, positive holds and insecure, slabby smears on this route will keep your interest throughout.

Were this climb longer (the usual Josh lament) it would be that much better. Three stars out of five.

Easy climbing up a right-slanting ramp and some horizontal cracks gain a striking steep hand crack. Fun moves on this but the crack section at the top is woefully short. Gear belay and rap off from anchors atop
