One of the all time classic trad routes in the Cheat Canyon. A must do for the serious trad climber!  Begin in a finger layback on the climber’s right side of the buttress, and make a powerful move to a letterbox slot.  Place a crucial red BD c3 or equivalent from a mandatory one arm  sloper hang (I hope you’ve been hangboarding!).  If you didn’t pump yourself out placing gear, traverse right on incut crimps to access another crack system (crux).  Arrive at a rest, and place good gear.  Move from the arête to the face, and continue on perfect edges.  There is gear just when you need it, but the little runout gives the climb an exciting feel.  The upper face originally was bolted by Chris Egress as part of a project following the arête (now called Watch it Run 5.12b).  With his permission, the hangers were removed, as it was discovered the line went safely on gear.

This one requires some try-hard.  A rare find, this route requires the climber to pull powerful, bouldery moves on fairly large holds for a slab climb of this grade.  Crank the V8 boulder at the bottom, utilizing a crazy toe hook and undercling two finger pocket. Then work up easier slab moves to a break.  It's only 5.11 to the top.  Don’t blow it at the mono pocket.  Originally this line was graded 5.13b, but new beta was also discovered, which may make the line closer to 5.12+ or 5.13a.

Danny Rowand, being his humble self, bolted this route and gave it the name because he thought it would be the worst route on the wall.  Turns out its a classic. Climb some engaging rock to a ledge, and tech your way up the arête, utilizing a wild toe hook move.  It gets more exciting as you get higher.  Don't be deceived by the grade.  Though it was originally graded 5.9+, and is now 5.10b, it still feels more like 5.10d/11a.

Stick clip the high first bolt, and climb the cruxy arête, culminating in a desperate lockoff to meet the crack system of Fighting on Your Knees.  Be careful not to get your leg stuck behind the rope.  This tends to want to happen while pulling this move.  From the crux, continue up the face to share anchors with Fighting on Your Knees.

A classic face climb. Begin on some generally damp holds leading to a vertical seam, and make your way up to a small ledge.  Keep your balance to get an (almost) no hands rest, then attack the clean, slightly overhanging grey face.  Climb on perfect crimps and edges, culminating in a crux lockoff at the top.  You will have fun.  After soloing this route, Mr. Egress encouraged a local climber that the bolts were there for anyone to use, free of charge, hence the name
