A steepish route with multiple cruxes separated with good rests.

The first bolt is a bit high but there is a good clipping hold.

The first pitch is classic face and crack climbing with the second pitch being chimney and off width. Pitch 1: Start on Knife and break left after the 2nd bolt onto the small ledge. Clip a bolt to protect the first crux and then move to the duo cracks. After the cracks clip the bolt and do a few harder moves. Keep it moving through the 3 m run-out to the 2 bolt anchor. (5.10a) Pitch 2: Move up the lie-back crack into the off-width. Chimney to ledge and finish on the 3rd pitch of Knife. (5.9)

FA: Karsten Delap & Paige Marta Skiba, 2012

Pitch 1: Follow the bolted flake to the 2 bolt anchor. 5.8 Pitch 2: Continue up the technical lie-back crack. Careful on the run-out to the first bolt. Great technical moves. Finish on one good and one bad bolt. 5.10b/c Pitch 3: Move left and up the wide broken crack. 5.7 to a 2 bolt ancho

The bolted route to the left of Richter Scale. Climbs up a face using crimps and big huecos and flakes.

Finishes under the big roof. Has cleaned up significantly over the years but still be weary of a couple of thin looking flakes.

a 60m gets you down just fine

Bouldery overhanging jugs lead to a good rest 3/4 way up. Then steep technical climbing to a crux at the last 10 feet pulling over the roof. Start is behind a grove of trees. Beginning holds are a bit high up, stand on a tree if you must.

2-bolt top anchor with a chain

Technical slab with a healthy amount of crimps, slopers, and high steps. Pull left around a corner and join up with Richer scale, which means the crux of the route is the same as Richter scale's, pulling over the roof at the last 10 feet of the climb. Beginning is up a small path behind a grove of trees.

Climbs the slabby to vertical face to the left of the triangle routes. A sustained pitch with multiple cruxes between good rests. Flakes and layback moves with plenty of highsteps thrown in. A bit dirty at the moment.

A classic and many peoples first outdoor climb. Climb the left side of the triangle. You may find it to be hard for the grade if you are unfamiliar with stemming and jamming. Most stem/chimney inside the wide crack on the left, but it's also possible to stick to the arete on the right, keeps the grade the same.

They say it's 5c. If you want it to be that you'd better climb a couple of first moves more to the right not straight up, though. Pretty slabby one. Good to get the hand of your foot work

One of the older routes and definitely an area classic. Bouldery start (easier if taller) leads to moderate pocket pulling straight up the face. A must do for the area.

Be prepared to have dozens of tourists stop and watch/take pictures of you!

Easy lay back moves lead to jamming with your right hand and crimping with your left. Crux is pulling over the bulge at the top which involves awkward hand jams. The bolt for the crux is poorly placed, if you blow it, you could deck on a lower ledge.

Originally bolted by Alex Chabot and called Flake Appeal. In the spring of 2013 Mkhitar Mkhitaryan lead the route on gear, then made the decision to chop almost all the bolts and rename the route.

Two 60m ropes should get you to the ground, but as always, knot the end of your ropes!

the left most of the 4 sport climbs. Climb the easy pocketed slab encountering a bulge near the top.

Similar to Alecram but slightly harder. Climb up the pocketed slab and shares the last few bolts with Alecram and finishes at the same anchor

Similar to the other routes next to it. Enjoy the pocketed slab, climbing over the occasional bulge. Shares the same anchor with the two routes to the left.

Probably the best line of this cluster of routes. Climb up the slab, bust out a small roof, the climb up a faint dihedral to the top. Ends at it's own set of anchors.

Ciao!
