Styles Larsen, Ian Katz project.

2-bolt top anchor shared with 'Burnt Offering II'[233130216]. You can, from here, continue up 'Put Up Or Shut Up'[233163687] as an optional second pitch on the 'High Country Headwall'[233144067].

Climb all of 'Burnt Offering I'[233129391], then follow the bolt line right to the 2-bolt top anchor shared with 'Choke Chain'[233132334].

Long R to L traverse of the wall.

There's been debate about whether some kind of superhuman could climb this. Start at the boulder. Climb up and follow the overhanging dihedral to the top. Looks at least V10 to mere mortals.

#SD

Highball left finish to Impossible Wall.

From the stand start. Sit start ("Chinese Connection") is V11.

Stand start. Sit start is V12.

Start on miniscule slopey crimps just right of the tree, then bust a move into Mr Magoo.

Sit start Bates Eliminate.

Sit start at the base of the arête.

Super steep and powerful face climbing after the crux of Sky Shark. Climb Sky Shark to end of the traverse back right , clip the bolt and follow the shallow overhanging corner above. A dead point to a slopey rail leads to an exciting finish. The direct start was added later and bouldered but the entire route was never redpointed. ( 13d / 14a )

An unlikely direct finish to Double Dragon that is well worth the effort. After the reachy crux on Double Dragon power up the rounded layback above to some powerful cranks on small edges before a tricky final dead point and run out

Start as for Excalibur and traverse right to finish up Touch Your Toes.

Left of tree at blocky undercling. Up.

A fantastic dihedral.

The route is on the Northwest Face of the Higher Cathedral Spire and it’s first pitches (mainly) follow the original Grade IV/A4 route climbed by legends Royal Robins and Tom Frost.
