Th is route ascends the far right side of the wall. Straightforward 5.6 slab climbing brings you to a break under a roof, where tricky technical moves on round crimpers pull you up onto the upper section of the wall. Easier if you're tall. If it were longer and more sustained, it'd be sweet.

Easiest Path

Climbs the face on the right side of the slabby part of the wall. Start under a small roof. Make an awkward and powerful pull off the ground (crux) and around the right side of the roof to the first bolt, and then continue straight up the slab to a vertical section 2/3 the way up the wall. Varnish crimping brings you to the anchors. Probably 5.9 after the first bolt.

The crack in the middle of the Particle Man buttress behind Iron Man. Thin hands to fingers up the slab with a bunch of face holds. A large break interrupts the the climbing, and a fistjam and face holds bring you to Particle Man's anchor.

This climb sits to the right and behind the Iron Man Wall, near the left edge of the Ultraman. The center bolted line, climbs the slab to the left of the crack, with the crux coming after the first bolt.

This route climbs the blunt arete situated between the two sections of the wall. Third class up and to the right (and the first bolt), then edge straight up on solid little varnish crimpers to the anchors. The 20-foot face directly beneath the climb can be toproped at the same difficulty.

Climbs the primary flake and crack system on the main wall. Start near the right facing corner on the left side of the wall, angling up and right under a small roof. Clip a single bolt, pull the roof, and continue up an right until you reach a small crack. Drop in a cam, pull up and over this second little roof, and angle back left to finish on easier terrain. A bit sandy in places.

This crack is visible from the road.  I was hoping it started with more hand crack moves than it does, but you can stem left very quickly.  Start in the overhanging hand crack.  Pull over the lip and into the 6" offwidth.  If you neglected to bring a #6 cam, clip the bolt on Particle Man with a long runner.  Swim up the crack, reaching a nice ledge 6' left of Oxosis' anchor.  Build an anchor with .5-1 camalots, or utilize the bolted anchor. 

Climbs the obvious line on the right side of the main wall. Third class to a balancy step over to the first bolt leads to a small bulge. A couple more balancy moves pull up into the beginning of hueco juggy goodness. Climb the huecos to the short, steep face with sharp, positive edges; committing moves all the way to the chains.

This climb sits to the right and behind the Iron Man Wall, near the left edge of the Ultraman. The short, right hand route on this wall, climbs two near vertical sections, with a break just before the last bolt.

This route sits on the wall behind Iron Man, on the far left side of the Ultraman. The rightmost bolted climb, the rote ascends the aesthetic (and overhung) varnish face and arete. Solid climbing; precise footwork will help a lot. The read is the crux of this climb..

On the right hand slabby part of the wall, climb the obvious flake to huge jugs 30 feet up. Balance up to a huge rest, and then pull through the smaller, bomber left facing corner to solid varnish crimpers.

This climb sits to the right and behind the Iron Man Wall, near the left edge of the Ultraman. The left hand bolted line, this climb follows the old KP addage: "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but the easiest path wanders". You'll be wandering a bit on this one. Head up the obvious crack/break to where it goes horizontal, traverse left, and weave your way up the slab above. Bail right around the final vertical section, and clip those chains. A little cruxy off the ground.

A Multi-faceted face to the right of the Trundle Wall, between the first and second pullouts. The climbing is varied, ranging from slabby flakes to vertical huecos to overhung crimping, all on mostly-bomber rock (cleaning up very nicely!). Faces straight south, and gets all day sun for most of the season. 

  Generally, you'll spot the crag by the grayish rock bordered by a right-facing corner, approximately even with the Ultraman wall (the obvious big slab), and a few hundred feet left.
