Boulder up to the big ledge (or scramble up from its right end), then climb the short arching crack. Pull up onto the arete (crux) and follow it past horizontals to a bolted lower-off anchor.

This climb is trick up to the 2nd bolt everything after that goes very smooth.

a short but very pumpy route!   crux comes in middle of the route past a (wingspan) move,

Climb the easy corner to the oak tree, step right, then more or less straight up a continuous crack system to a roof. Bolted anchor at the ledge above the roof.

Up the easy corner past the oak tree, then up cracks and traverse right to pull onto the belay ledge with a bolted anchor (shared with Out of Gas).

Fun but funky climbing- right knee bars (pad) helpful from last bolt to anchor!

super fun route with a short crux @ 2cd bold moving left thru slopers. then finishing up the top face of tilted arc.   If its feeling to hard look for a couple knee bars.

Every thing goes very smoothly till you get to the ledge. Once at the ledge you can either go left up the arete or head straight up. I feel that the climb was originally intended to go straight up but I wasn't able to figure out the moves. If you go left towards the arete. I feel that you knock the climb down a letter grade and a number grade to a 10a/b. The crux this way is very pumpy and a fall could result in a dangerous swing into the ledge.

This is a crack that starts just to the left of Dream Weaver.  It has been cleaned and makes for a nice trad lead (when dry). 

  The crack ends at the ledge below the crux of Dream Weaver, so the logical finish would be to continue up to the DW anchor. 

  This crack can be easily seen (left of the climber) in the "photo of Josh" posted with Dream Weaver.

The climbs in the Fireman's ladder area are at the far left end of Rampart Cliff and are currently listed in a separate AREA Fireman's Ladder Area of Camden Hills

  To get to the Fireman's Ladder area from the Rampart Cliff, follow the cliff down to climber's left, then continue down through a somewhat scrappy gully (careful of rockfall), then continue left.

 To get from Fireman's Ladder (Area) to the Ramparts' left wall follow right along the cliff base to a steep gully.  Up this 40-50 ft to the base of the left end of the Ramparts.

Climb to the right of Dream Weaver. Great line up overhanging wall. Gained by climbing the lower part of Dream Weaver and then tending right out overhanging face. Great 11D. Crux at start and at last move.

Crux at bottom of route then sustained climbing to the top. My favorite at the crag.

Start to the right of the easy slab below the right headwall, near a big tree a short way up the cliff.  

  Technical climbing goes up and left out the exposed slab and up the striking arete. Fun tippy toey, climbing.

Farthest right climb on overhanging wall. A bit contrived but still decent climbing.Maybe a bit harder now than when it went up. I have broken a hold or 2. SORRY!!!

Just another link up, start Renascence, Make sure you extend the 2nd bolt then head right below roof finishing resonance.

A right-to-left linkup that joins the crux portions of Resonance, Renascence, and Ariel.

From the big ledge, climb the shallow right-facing corner to a bulge (crux) and pull up onto the slab above. Move up and right, using a right-leaning crack, to the Prospero anchor.

Climb the slab (Reincarnation, 5.9-) to the ledge, then take the brilliant steep headwall. Formerly an aid route now free. When you fall off the first move of the headwall, be sure to lower down and climb the slab again (crux).

Bolts not replaced. Route goes on gear, although a bit spicy! Could definitely be an ankle breaker.Very cool but awkward climbing up overhanging flared groove, then a super awesome but weird and scary move to gain a lip. Then big throw to to small incut protected by a bolt. Originally rated 12b. Hold on face is Much smaller now. Still 12a.

A great little crag about 80ft feet in height. A little bit of a hike to get there but well worth it
