Routes as sport in Texas

Eighty feet to chains. First lead has 6 bolts. Second pitch has one bolt and another set of chains at an odd place. No chains at top. Big gap between first and second bolt. 5.8 moves around second bolt. Potential ground out here. Pre protected by placing a little blue cam in a funky crack 3-5' lower and about 8' to the left of the second bolt and removing it after I clipped the bolt.

This delicate face route left of Solo is considered both one the the softest and one of the best 12's in the park.

Located on the NW corner of the Solo boulder, just to the right of Road to Nowhere. Climb past a few bolts on large features or hike up the back to set a TR on two solid bolts.

Mantels and knobs. At the corner of Acid Boulder closest to the parking area.

Far right of Orange Peel ledge. Keeping off the blocks behind you, climb the slab with a very high first bolt. Climbing eases up from the first bolt. 5.7 if you use the blocks.

Bolted line on the boulder right of Jack Knife. Anchors set back 5m from edge on another boulder.

At the very far left end of this whole section a large overlap meets the ground. About 300 ft left of Harder Than It Looks. Walk in the High Country climbs the bolted slab/arete on the outside of this overlap. Follow 4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Then a rising right traverse on the second pitch will lead you past 5 bolts to another double bolt belay (non rap bolts). From here the third pitch traverses right on easy but unprotected ground past the rap bolt belay of Knuckle Duster to the Broadway Ledge and the anchors of Mark Of The Beast. The fourth pitch angles up to the right along a visible dike through bolts of Newark and Hartford to a bolted belay. Fifth pitch goes further onto the upper slabs through two bolts to the top.

Start on the perched ledge immediately left of Easier Than It Looks. Ascend the right-facing corner to get up to it. Or just climb from the ground. Two ropes to rap. This is a fantastic and seemingly overlooked climb. Up the unprotected easy slab, then through a left-facing corner system at about 5.5. Then step right onto the headwall to clip the first of four bolts. Some of the best slab climbing in the park through these four bolts on knobby feldspar and perfect friction. Gain the ledge and bolted rap station.

This is the first pitch of Mark of the Beast and starts on the right side of the slab. Better protected than the first pitch of Harder Than It Looks, it's a better choice for climbers starting on this wall. Pad up through six bolts to double rap bolts. Two ropes to reach the ground.

Ascend the right side of the main slab, which is called Christine's Variation, through six bolts to a double rap bolt belay. Climb past 3 bolts through the bulge (crux) to Broadway Ledge and belay at a double rap bolt belay. Third pitch heads up the easier slab past another 3 bolts to another double rap bolt belay (shared with Harder Than It Looks).

"To the left of Ripple is an expanse of slab with a visible line of bolts. There are 2 bolts below the overlap. Start off of the same boulder as with Ripple and move through fun friction climbing to the top. The anchors are the old Ripple rap bolts located straight up. (5 bolts, 2 top anchors)" Beta quoted from Sean O'Grady's book: Enchanted Rock

To the left of TJ Swan is a line of bolts. Slightly less heady than TJ Swan.

Starts to the left of Hartford up a line of fairly new bolts. Belay is at the double bolt anchor on Boston ledge. Second pitch up just left of the Boston flake past a few bolts.

No top anchors.

Beware of bees.

Sling tree between first and second bolts.

The route takes a 35m rope and leave you with roughly 6-8 feet left over.

Stick clip first bolt

5.11a if you use the crack
