Ascents in Iowa

Bouldery start in a cave. Cool overhangs.

Same start as Bluff Face; stay left on narrow bluff after end of initial crack. Approach from front of bluff - no access from private land behind bluff

Dirty hard to find climb, but has a terrific start. Then it gets buggy and dirty.

Nice long climb. Sustained at least 5.9 for most of it. Great resting ledge about 3/4 up.

Dan Olsen lead, Tim Olsen second ascent lead

Great climb. Difficult start with sustained climbing all the way up. Some call it a 5.10. Possibly longest at pictured. Not over used. Good view. Requires moves and not just holds. 8 bolts. Just around the corner from Tarzan.

Top-roped due to friable limestone. Go up easiest route on narrow bluff face. Approach from front of bluff - no access from private land behind bluff

Observation Tower top rope

Fun route but is so slippery and so muddy slick at the anchor I believe it is worth the 5.9 it gets on The Crag rather than 5.8 on Mountain Projects (all holds completely caked in mud, I used an undercling to hoist myself up to clip the anchors as what would be jugs were... not)

Direct finish is a bit puzzling. Fun warm up or in the rain due to overhang.

Cool climb. Awkward starting move.

Loose rock. Long run out at the top. Great route. Good challenge.

Big whipper from the runout at the top. Use holds to the right of anchors. Middle is slick.

There's a lot of runout climbing here, but this route was fine!

Not psyched on the runout with this one. But it's a nice climb!

Enjoyable climb for everyone.

great beginner route

Good easy climb. Fun start with rewarding views at the top.

Terrific first lead or climb. Stay out of the crack at the top for style points.
