5.7 | ★★ North Face
There are a number of routes and choices up the north face of Crystal Peak, all starting at the same chimney, and all having about the same difficulty level. Mostly easy 5th class, with 5.5-.5.6 sections, and the occasional 5.7 move. Start up the chimney in the back of the corner where the approach trail reaches the cliff. At the end of the chimney, choose any of many choices towards the peak: a. Stay left, following the arete. b. Take the obvious ramp up rightwards, then up crack lines that rise up and rightwards, then straight up to the peak. c. Up the ramp rightwards, then back left towards obvious chimneys. All finish through the layer of gorgeous quartz crystal that gives the peak its name. | 120m, 3 | High Sierra | ||

Climb face to bolted anchor. | 33m | High Sierra | ||
5.7 | ★★★ Get Lost
Near the center of the cliff there is a small (2m) high buttress with a top that is a ramp heading up and right. Start here, climb up to the ledge, then up right, to a vertical crack. Follow this to the rising horizontal break, step left, then up another crack/flake system that goes up and slightly right. Gear anchor. | 33m | High Sierra | ||
5.8 | ★★ No Trespassing
On the right side of the cliff, there is an obvious ledge about 4m up the cliff. This climb starts at an obvious crack below the left end of the ledge. Climb the crack to the ledge, then follow and obvious crack that trends up and leftwards, through a slab section where the crack peters out, to an upper left-facing crack/flake system and the top. Gear anchor. | 35m | High Sierra | ||
5.9 | ★★★ Surfin' Safari
Below the middle of the ledge is a finger crack, start at this. Climb the crack to the ledge. From the ledge climb the face above on small seams towards the roofs. At the roofs, go left then pull up into a dihedral and finish directly upwards. Gear anchor. (No bolts, despite them being shown in one local guide.) | 35m | High Sierra | ||
5.9 | ★★ Tough Muffin
Start on a crack a couple meters right of "Surfin' Safari". Follow this crack up to the ledge, then continue following it up and left the whole way. (This will pass entirely right of and above the roofs that "Surfin' Safari" traverses under.) | 33m | High Sierra | ||
