Great overhanging pocket pulling! Start up a rock ramp, trending left to avoid the choss. Clip your first bolt just at the top of the ramp and the second one comes just there after. Technical crux was probably the first move after clipping the second bolt, it's just a matter of fighting through a pump factor after that. Just keep climbing, it gets easier near the anchor.

This line gets the distinction for being the only Trad line at ET.  Start up the low angle corner to get to the base of the crack.  From here climb the corner thru occasional sections of suspect rock.  Anytime the crack gets awkward it is easy to use jugs on the face to keep things at the 5.7 grade.  It is easy to use the anchors on Prince Valient to lower off.

Start below Sleeping Beauty and head up left on the low-angled ramp approach to the top of the mini slab. A good stance on top of the mini slab allows you to clip the first bolt. Watch out for a loose block at the top of the slab where it joins the headwall.  From there, the business begins.  Head up the constantly overhanging face above, pulling hard on small, but positive pockets. The first three bolts on this route are really close together, so watch out for the dreaded z-clip!     The crux comes around the third bolt and then hopefully you have the strength to go the distance to 4th bolt. Above the fourth bolt the climbing is relatively run-out to the chains but thankfully the climbing is on easier, juggier terrain.    Super fun route and a good introduction to 5.11- climbing at Enchanted Tower.

Life O' Riley is on the right-facing wall on the left side of the Sleeping Beauty Area. It is the leftmost route at the area. It's named after a puppy, and for a formation of huecos near the bottom of the route that resemble a paw print. 

  Clip the first bolt fairly high on the route. The rubble at the bottom of the route as you head toward the first clip gives one reason to think (be careful!). Climb up and out the left side of a small alcove and up lower angle rock, which then steepens to vertical on the way to the top. 

  The crux is at the top of this route, and the rest of the climbing heades up large, less than vertical terrain.

Down left and around the corner from the above routes is an alcove. This route climbs a line of bolts on the right side of the alcove. Climb up steep rock and pull some cruxy moves over a roof into some giant huecos. Bear right after the third bolt (the left variation is 11c) and traverse out right to the arete. Some more tricky moves lead up the arete past another giant hueco to the anchors.

Start up the large black streak with a throw to a jug. Crux is around the 4th bolt on some real thin moves.  A classic moderate route at the Tower.

Sleeping Beauty is the steep, pocketed route just left of the obvious black streak in the Sleeping Beauty area. Scramble up the right side of the low angle ramp on unprotected but easy terrain to the first bolt. Clip it and then head up and slightly right up the overhanging face on pockets. Choosing the right pockets out of the multitude of chalked holds will be the deciding factor on whether you get the red point or not.

Slab to bulge with pockets.  A tad grungy in 2005 may be better now.

Though not as good as its neighbor Sleeping Beauty, this is a worthy addition to the wall if you're looking for another short warm-up. Crux is still nabbing the 2-finger pocket to gain the clipping holds for the third bolt. After that hang on through hard-to-read rock and some small holds to get to the chains. A stick clip is recommended for the high first bolt.

This is one really nice, pretty pumpy route typical of the best E-Tower area has to offer. The biggest holds you'll ever fall off and all that. Cheshire starts just to the right of the big black waterstreak on the right side of the Sleeping Beauty Wall. Latch onto the big jugs and keep hauling to the top.

A straight-forward and fun introduction climb to those new to the Tower area.  Very featured climbing with loads of hold options with a steeper couple of moves at the top but still plenty of good holds to keep the rating reasonable.

Sleeping Beauty Wall is found just up and left of the Enchanted Tower in a sort of squared-out rectangular alcove. The middle section of the wall is overhanging. A pretty good range of routes are located here, from 5.9 to hard 5.11 and from complete jugs like those on Cheshire Cat to tiny crimps on Glass Coffin and Poison Apple. This seems to be a pretty popular area, so likely that you'll have company during the "season".
