A classic left facing corner crack with a short offwidth section leading up to a roof system. A leftward underclinging traverse leads to a foot rail then up another short corner to another roof traverse. Move easily to the anchors on the left. This is the must do route at Haw Creek.

Bolted arête to the left of the classic dihedral For Whom the Bell Tolls. Pull over a low roof (crux) and follow the arête with great holds on both sides to a set of bolted anchors.

From the guide book: Climb the knobby face past low and high cruxes to a set of anchors at mid-height.

Steady climbing through first two bolts getting easier up high. Goes straight up and meanders to the right and up to anchors.

A bolted left angling blunt arête starting off a detached block. Very fun route and a good warm-up.

Stickclip the first bolt and begin the rightward traversing "dreamcatcher" feature for 4 bolts.Gain a decent edge/finger bucket and load up for a powerful boulder problem on thin but positive edges. Throw to the jug ledge and cruise low end 5.11 pulls on awesome railed features and beautiful red stone to the chains.

Climb up a flared crack for a short distance before wandering up the top face. This is the most direct line to the anchors on this wall with 4 other routes merge into this and share anchors.

Work your way up a the thin flake that starts nearly straight and then begins to pull left.  Easy warmup and nice route for the beginning trad climber.

Obvious pillar/buttress further down the cliff line, climb the left side through a crux or two with solid pro to the anchors

Climb up the orange and black flake to a decent stance about 6-7 ft off the ground. There is a finger size crack in back of the flake. Plug in a few small cams. Fire through the delicate layback and clip the first bolt from a solid jug. Move left from the first bolt clipping two more bolts from positive but pumpy holds. After the bulge, run it out through easy terrain to the anchors.

Offwidth left facing corner with lots of face holds requiring no offwidth technique. Kind of a fun little route. Would be awesome if the crack went for a 100 ft. or more.

This is an easy jug-lined crack. Rock quality was decent. The route would probably be 5.7, except its a little steep down low. A fun warm up.

Climb the 5.7 dihedral "Frisbie Golf", climb past it's anchors through the roofs.

Start on a jug with no feet and pull up into a stance. Place some gear and work wide stems and undercling to a nice crack. Continue stemming outward working jams to the lip. Commit to a short hand crack above you and bust through to a wide slot. Continue through varied climbing on good gear and holds to the anchor.

This is the place that most people go to when visiting Haw Creek.  A great range of 5.7-5.9 Trad and Sport routes from 5.9-5.12.
