Start on a bulge and move left to the second bolt before firing straight up the steep wall that slowly eases in angle.  Great fun, without many cruxy moves, just a building pump.

Fun, big moves down low yield to easier going before a tricky finish

Intricate moves on mostly good holds.  Traverse left to the anchor.

Start on House of Pain and cut hard left after the second bolt, heading for a bolt in the middle of the face.  Clip this and one more below the roof.  The roof pull is pumpy, but the holds are all there if you trend rightwards.  Meet back up with the top of House of Pain.  There are no chains on the top of House of Pain, but there are at the top of King of the Ruins.  It's pretty easy to scamper up another 10 feet.

A fun route with some standard Vantage slopey-the-wrong-way sucker holds.  Great position and movement.

Pull past two shallow roofs with a crux around the second and third bolts.  Things ease up a bit from there.

On recommended route list in Yoder/Ford guidebook.  The placement of this route makes you scratch your head a little.  Pull the exact same start as for Violator, clipping shiny new Fixe bolts on your left instead or right.  Traverse left to a two handed jug rail between bolts 1 and 2 and head up your own line.  Resist the temptation to clip high or you will pump out.  The prescription is: big move, clip at the waist, repeat.  This is far more difficult than any of the other 10d's on the wall and sustained all the way to the chains.  It would be a proud onsight for anyone climbing near the grade.

As much of a jug haul as Powerhouse has. Climb up a vertical face with some thought-provoking, foot-specific moves. The angle lessens where the rock becomes bubble-filled but holds are less obvious.

Start on a clean, light-colored face and make a few somewhat strenuous moves to get up to the dark roof. Clip the bolt at the lip and then body-tension your way through the roof pull. Things get pretty thin, crimpy, and slopey after the roof pull. You won't get much of a rest until the last few moves below the chains. A brilliant route.

Start on House of Pain for the first two bolts, then cut left up the steep wall past two more bolts to the roof.  Clip the roof bolt from good holds before setting off left through the roof  and the crux to meet up with King of the Ruins.  Keep it together from here to the finish.

A typical Vantage bouldery start brings you to tough moves before slightly easier climbing above

Start on big, blocky, overhanging features and work your way up on open-hand side-pulls, first on the right, then the left.  From there, pull through a cruxy traverse to the right before latching a more positive right side-pull and firing the rest of the overhanging face on slightly better holds.  It doesn't relent much.

Fun route at the end of Powerhouse. Makes sense to clip the second bolt and power through instead of coming in from the gulley to the right.

Layback and stem with interesting feet through a slot and then step right to climb the steep face above on pumpy, positive edges. Long and sustained at the grade.
