This is on the Southwest Buttress of Foreign Territory (left-hand side of FT's little canyon area), directly above the Turtle Rock Trail.

Scramble up to the spacious belay ledge from the left.

Follow the line of bolts to the anchor. The first crux is not sliding off the start. The second crux is staying with the bolt line.

This is on the Southwest Buttress of Foreign Territory (left-hand side of FT's little canyon area), directly above the Turtle Rock Trail.

After a scramble (easiest from the left) to the spacious belay ledge, begin slightly lower & sidle into the opening moves, placing small/medium gear as you wallow deeper, taking care not to break the delicate ribs beneath your feet. Move through the chimney-like gash to the crux finger crack. Surmount the chockstone to the final hand-crack finish (right side) onto a shelf. Gear belay.

Descent: one can maneuver to the

anchor to the climber's right of the exit chimney, or discover a walk-off toward the North.

Likely this route has been climbed before.

P1. Begin low on the right side of the Southwest Buttress by entering a flared V-slot. Heel-toe works best here. Wallow upwards, then span the gap to a grassy trough beneath the crux offwidth chimney. It is best to belay here, so the leader's screams & cries can be heard.

P2. Climb the offwidth chimney.

Exit either left or right at the end of difficulties.

This is a hands to fingers crack that starts out vertical then goes almost horizontal before going to easy vertical terrain again.  The crux is a short thin hands and fingers sequence right before the angle eases off.  A good crack that doesn't require a lot of endurance.

Wild Thing is a decent route with one distinctive crux over the first roof that involves slab technique.  It is thin hands-fingers-offwidth.

This is the left-most route on the wall.  It starts in a left-facing dihedral/chimney with a straight in crack in the main wall.  Chimney/stem/jam up to the top of a small pillar, then jam the crack the rest of the way, passing a couple of small pods.

Clean rock, interesting and varied climbing, and good protection.  Recommended.

Descend via scrambling to the left (SW) end of wall.  If a TR is to be set up, this would also be the best way to get to the top.

Japan Club has three distinct sections: flared fingers, flared hands, and a lieback. The opening flared finger portion is thin and balancy, but will accept reasonable pro in the form of stoppers and small cams. After overcoming the thin crux, enjoy a short section of good flared hands (in both main crack and side crack) before the crack peters out. Good foot cams move you into position to grasp the semi-solid lieback and high step on decent feet to glory.
