Pull off the delicate rock surrounding this route and you'll end up with Dirty Draws too! Boulder up to the first bolt (stick clip recommended), then crimp and balance your way up to a couple of burly moves just before the finish. Fun, varied, and somewhat exciting movement. Well protected, just watch on what and how you pull. Wear a helmet when climbing and belaying! Tread lightly!!!

Last route before the trail veers right and down to high water wall

Low angle face climb. Start is a bit tricky, but the first bolt can be clipped by simply stepping up onto the rock. This route is very well protected, and is a great first lead.

This thing welcomes you with a tough move just off the ground. Stays fairly sustained up to a ledge, and then slaps you in the face with a reachy, stout, slopey boulder problem. After that, it's smooth sailing to the chains.

A contender for best of its grade in the area. Starts out on some technical climbing and has a bit of everything. Crimp, edge, smear, lieback, undercling, pull, and balance up to an exciting finish. Don't forget to turn around and take in the view from the top!

Thin, crimpy, thoughtful climbing up to a funky, reachy crux (unless you're tall) at the ledge. This one will leave those finger tips tingling!

High first bolt, stick clip recommended with typical queens bluff rock quality. Cruxy start off of the ground, moving through easier terrain up to the dihedral, which provides fun stemming and opposing actions to a small lip. Pull lip to chains.

Delicately navigate your way up small crimps to the large flake. Once you navigate up and right of the flake, clip the last bolt and you're home free. A fun climb for the grade, don't miss it!

Starts before the trail descends, good idea to stick clip first bolt

Great for the newer 5.10 leader. It's sustained climbing with plenty of crimps and good stances. one of the best lines at the bluff.

High First bolt, but easy 5.7ish climbing up to it. Work your way up the second bolt and gain your stand at the ledge, where the crux begins. Pull the bulge with good hand slots, keep reaching for sure holds. Able to clip chains standing on bulge

The Orchard has the best concentration of moderate routes at the Bluff. All but 3 are 5.9 or better with a few mixed routes.
