On the right side of the main wall locate a high bolt 3' left of the large black water streak. Clip this bolt via jugs to the left of the bolt and climb through pockets and hidden crimps in a mixture of dark and light quartzite bands as you consistently angle right. Pull a roof bulge at 2/3 height to a stance. From there step right and share the same finish with John Connor through the upper dihedral crack where the two walls converge.

John Connor

Use the same start as The Terminator. At the second bolt move right, into a short line of obvious 6" pockets and continue angling up and right to a stance below the headwall. Pull a fun roof to a very technical finish.

The classic test piece of Sky-Net. Climb up the short slabby corridor on the far left side of the wall to clip a high first bolt to the right. Get right into a very thin boulder problem start and hold on for 20' until you get purchased in the good pockets of a short vertical crack seam. Fire the dicey crux above to get a short reprieve in a recess beneath the next roof. Two relentless bulges with fun movement complete the Hero's Journey.

This possibly the most exposed pitch of climbing at Cooks Wall. Not necessarily the hardest or the highest but it's position is incredible and makes you very aware of your surroundings. While this can easily be climbed sport, via the exposure and short run-outs, some chose to supplement with gear between bolts 4 and 6.

On the far left side of the wall, delicately climb up a natural rock corridor to the first bolt and follow the large vertical seam that trends left. Continue straight up and over a roof to finish on the right side of a sheer arete while looking down on some of the most intimidating air at Cooks.

In the center of the wall, the belayer should clip a belay bolt at head height while the climber makes their way up the right side of a short slab to the first bolt just above a long horizontal crack. Start up the vertical weakness through hidden mini jugs and move left at the 3rd bolt into a short vertical crack to a stance beneath the roof. Get serious pulling over the roof and hold on to the top.

There's plenty of jugs, a steep finish and a mantle over the top but if you're the queasy type then this route might not be your huckleberry. Start at the bottom of the right hand wall at the end of it's right side. The belayer should clip the belay bolt using the opposite end of the rope on a long tail (mandatory for safety on this route). Carefully climb the exposed bottom 10' to the first bolt and up the inside of the jagged arete. In the middle of the route start moving left while staying under the belly of the wall. Find a quick rest in a perfect 'letter box' jug under the steepest top section to your left. Make a couple big pulls to the highest part of the top lip just left of the black water streak and mantle over the lip to victory.

Nathan Brown established the first route on this wall with a mighty fine mixed line that will have you checking your gear twice. Use the same start as Sky-Net and carefully make your way up the natural rock corridor on the far left side of the wall. After the 4th bolt, follow a general weakness off to the right which will have you traversing for about 5'

After the 4th bolt, traverse through a weakness out right for about 8' feet which eventually funnels you up into a dihedral. Protect the traverse and bottom of the dihedral with small to medium cams. Clip a bolt at the top of the dihedral and a funky crux stands between you and victory. Use a small to medium cam before the anchors.

On the far right side of the main wall and just left of the large corner, locate a high bolt 6' right of the base of the large black water streak. Climb the face up into the crotch of the roof where the two walls create a corner. Pull the roof and follow the dihedral corner to the top.
