Big Balls In Cowtown is a unique and varied route in the Forks norm. It features exciting technical face and a steep fingers finish on an isolated buttress amongst other obscurities.  

  Not as runout as its neighbor to the north, the gear is good just non existent for the first 20ft off the ledge. A lucky jump back to the belay could be an option? 

  From the belay ledge step left through some wobble blocks and onto the clean face. Climb the unprotected technical face to the first sign of gear. Climb through a boulder problem to a mini-ledge. After a rest continue up the left leaning and steep boulder problem finish. Sporty.

High Anxiety

Route starts on a blocky section, then up and left to twin hand-sized cracks in dark colored rock.  Most of the route is very clean, but the upper section is crusted with lichen, and has some loose blocks.   

Crux is at the start with face/ tips and finger jamming moves over a purple met. sized piece. After that it's just good crack climbing. Not so heady like the name might suggest, at least with today's modern gear.

Obscurity Wall is the, well, obscure section of rock between The Prow and Pillow Wall.  Many of the routes start from ledges off the ground, so you will need to do different rappels for different routes.
