Vie in First Stratum

This is a great beginner sport route on the left end of the rock. Climb huge huecos up the seep face. TR access is from the left end of the rock.

This fun route is on the West Face of Der Zerkle's far left end. Romp up jugs and huecos through a short overhang and blunt arete.

Beween "Bar None" and "What If You're Not", this route climbs a thin 5.9 section to a ledge. Fun jug hauling over a roof leads past the third bolt to a decision: head left directly up the bolt line on surprisingly good finger rails at 10- or head right on jugs that lower the difficulty.

Great beginner scramble. This „climb“ is essentially unprotectable anyway, so everyone solos it. Warning, you can still fall to your death on this, so be sure you know how to move on the rock here.

Once you‘re established on the face, ascend the water groove to the top on great holds. Pass the top boulder on the left (easier, but might feel more exposed) or right (harder).

From the top, descend 2nd Class terrain down to get back on the Mallory Cave trail.

This climb starts near the far left side of the rock (about 10 feet left of What If You're Not?). Climb up the face to a small roof. Crank the roof with good holds and finish up to the top. Bring a couple of stoppers (or better yet, cams) and about 10 feet worth of slings.
