---|---|---|---|---|---|
5.6 | ★★ Thin Air
For a safer second traverse: trail a second rope or use doubles and merge pitch 2 and 3 together, only using a single rope after passing the last piece of pro at the beginning of the traverse, run this rope on the left side of the tree when climbing the chimney on pitch 3, this way, you can better protect your second across the traverse.

5.5 | ★★ Upper Refuse | Cathedral Ledge | |||
5.5 II R | ★★ Standard Route
This climbs the obvious right-facing arch up the cliff, then up through (crux) overlaps and finishing on the upper slabs. From near the center base of the slabs: Pitch 0: 45m (5.0?) Scramble 150ft up an easy depression to the starting ledge.
Walk off to the (climber's) right. | 350m, 9 | Whitehorse Ledge | ||

5.6 | ★ Child's Play | 70m | Cathedral Ledge | ||
5.8 | ★★ Bombardment
Climb the first pitch of Pleasant Street, and from the tree, get over the lip and onto the dike on the right. Follow the not so obvious first moves toward the very obvious left slanting crack. The first pitch (5.6 R) is a good mental test for the leader on the unprotected but beatiful slab/dike. The second pitch (5.8) is a must-do for any crack climber, and everyone else. The well protected crack offers perfect conditions to practice jams, calf endurance and pain tolerance (tapping might be a good idea, although not necessary). Be ready to experience the polished slab that offers slippery foot placements and weird-angled hand jams before going up and on the small slab/crimps crux at the end, before enjoying the bliss of a good belay and a wonderful view at the top, while you recover from the experience! | 2 | Cathedral Ledge | ||
5.5 II | ★★ Beginner's Route
A good rewarding, though not sustained route up the slabs. There are but a few moves of 5.5, and only a few sections of 5.4 climbing -- most of the climbing is 5.3 and easier. But, often with long run-outs at the easier grades, requiring confident leading at that grade. The "Standard Route" is a better-protected choice. Start below a large isolated pine tree about 35m up near the right side of the slabs.
The last three pitches are usually climbed un-roped as a scramble. | 340m, 10 | Whitehorse Ledge | ||

5.6 | ★ Dike Route
Near the left side of the slabs are a pair of slowly converging dikes running up the slab. This routes starts up the right-most of the dikes. Pitch 0: friction the slab to the large sloping ledge. (Most climbers rope up on this ledge.) Guide says to belay from pin at right side of ledge, but pin did not seem to be present as of August/2012.
A rappel descent can be made from the end of pitch 4 on a single 70m rope. (Barely, 5 rappels, using the "Pathfinder" pitch 1 anchors.) A rappel descent can be made from the end of pitch 5 with double-rope rappels (2 50m ropes). | 8 | Whitehorse Ledge | ||

5.7 II | ★ Wedge
To the left of the "launch pad" ledge where several climbs start are two patches of trees. This climb starts below the left most of the pair.
Fine climbing up to the end of pitch 6. Pitch 7 is dirty, but of some interest. The rest is crap. | 10 | Whitehorse Ledge | ||

From the right end of the lunch ledge, climb up the left-facing dihedral to a piton, then step right below a bolt. After clipping make some delicate moves (crux) rightwards and up to the the ramp, then continue leftwards up the ramp and layback corner to tree belay above. | 24m | Whitehorse Ledge | ||
