Short crack with a couple of climbing moves to get to the top.

Uneventful

Southeast-facing bulging slab, split by two assuaging horizontal seams below the first clip.

A hardy thrutch that will make you consider if you really can climb 5.8.  Fist jam and funky wide fun leads to nice jams up higher.  For comparison, it feels a bit like Y-Crack and for a moment like Hades over at Pinnacle Peak.

 There currently is no beehive on the route or signs of recent activity but in the old guidebook it mentions a hive somewhere on route.

A thin crack with a few surprisingly good jams and nice feet will keep a climber happy.  Sort of hard near the end of the crack and before climbing the face above.  Two bolts protect the face climbing moves to the summit.

The typical face climb in the McDowell's with thin edges and a few crusty flakes.

A nice winter retreat or late summer afternoon escape.  Easy to access with several routes that should satisfy the face climber, crack climber and even the odd chimney lovers.  A double rack and several draws will be more than enough for this collection of climbs
