Described from left to right and starting with the crack just right of theleft arete.
1. The Adulteress E2 5c * the crack, overlap, then right to wider crack. A good warm up.
2. Blackman's Pinch E4 6b ** the rightward slanting crack, overlap, BR, and short wall to finishing crack of Adulteress. Popular but easy in technical grade.
3. Skull Attack E6 6b (7b+) *** THE route of the wall. A very technical wall and thin crack gain the roof. Step left to finish up a thin crack and groove. Fully bolted.
4. Crime and Punishment E5 6b ** scoop and shallow groove to its top. Step right to follow thin crack through overlap to finishing wall.
5. Black Wall E4 6c (7b) * desperate technical climbing. A hard wall leads to an overlap followed by even harder moves. Old and new BR's mark the line.
6. Inch Pinch E3 6b hard moves gain a crack where the difficulties ease. Some PRs in place.
7. The Hant E4 6b after the hard start of Inch Pinch, move right go through the overlap, tricky, and follow a shallow groove and crack.
8. Tribulations E4 6b (7a+) short desperate wall on right.
9. Shakeout E3 * a worthwhile girdle traverse from right to left across the wall. 1. 15m. 6a. Follow the obvious rising break across the wall, PRs, totake a stance in Crime and Punishment. 2. 21m. 5c. Move up, then continue leftward into the Adulteress to finish.
