A wandering route, but with fun moves and great climbing. Start just right of some rock that seems to "flow" in a downward arc towards the ground. Step up and move left across this "flow" on small and insecure hands until you reach a jug on the left hand side. Head up to the ledge from the jug and shuffle yourself to the right. Head up and left again on even more insecure and sloping holds and top out. You've just made a Z with your rope!

Up the crack, perhaps trend right higher up. 

warning: The rock around this route and sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Lots of interesting moves.

An easy way to lead your way to the top of the stockade wall to set up a TR. Start way right on the wall on some jugs with a ledge no more than 10 feet above you. Head up the ledge and then turn left onto some low angle friction climbing. Crux is topping out where it gets a little steeper.

Thoughtful crux sequence, and lots of other interesting moves. 

  Start on the left of the two shallow corners, up through its curve, and on to the top.

All day sun with easy access off the main trail. Has a tendency to get overgrown with thorns and bramble, but herd paths tend to keep the bramble at bay. Due to it's SE facing aspect and lack of tree cover, this makes for a great winter climbing spot.  

  Rock is generally good - sharp and gritty Powerlinez rock. The left side has harder climbs with some project while the right side lends itself to easier climbs including some 5.easy ramps to the far right. There is potential for a couple more routes to be squeezed in, especially on the far left side. If you have put up a new route please be sure to post it to the Powerlinez - Beta Shed facebook group for the community. That is where the most active development is happening.  

  Setting up Top Ropes on this wall can be tricky. Gear placements at the top are usually in cracks at your feet, causing un-needed wear on cams. Tricams work well. You could use a long static and gear on some of the walls behind the Stockade wall, but chances are you'll have to do battle with some thorn bushes to get access to those cracks. There is a large boulder available to wrap a loop around, but as with any large stone, please check it's integrity.  

  Once you do get a rope set up, these climbs are stellar and deserve more traffic.
