The Maverick is a really fun 4 pitch route.  Stevie Haston freed it at 5.13a, but most climbers aid it at 5.9 C2.  It goes clean very easily-don't even think about using a hammer on this line.

Pitch 1 - Climb either 5.8R or C2 to a beautiful 5.13a or C1 splitter fingercrack.  60 feet to a fixed belay.

Pitch 2 - Either climb 5.9+ directly left from the belay, or aid C1 up to a fixed pendulum point and swing left about 15 feet.  Both ways reach easy 5.6 mud to a good belay ledge.  50 feet.

Pitch 3 - Climb past a 5.9- bulge to another easier bulge.  50 feet to a killer belay ledge.

Pitch 4 - Climb 5.11 or C2 for 30 feet until it is possible to start free climbing at 5.7  70 feet to the top of the spire.

1 double rope rap from the summit leads back to the land bridge.

Maverick

North Face

I did this route 10 years ago so the quality could be different. This a cool tower with an interesting route up the "North Face". Locate the ledge where the route begins...Pitch one starts with some bouldery moves and then goes left on mostly good rock to an anchor (10). Pitch 2 goes up a cool scoop to a sweet arete slapping boulder problem protected by a good bolt (crux, good pro)...Now for the excitement...Traverse right on a horizontal system and unload a bunch of gear. Scratch and claw up a heinous silty bulge with a crack going through it (11- R, arches-scary). Last pitch wraps its way around to the left passing some fixed junk and joins up with the south route near the top (10). In all its an OK route with a cool bouldery crux...But, it IS a nice tower!!
