Start in a seam and climb 20 feet to thin ledge.  Easily traverse left to the chocolate offset corner.  (Or climb directly up from below the offset with spaced pro.)  Plug .4 in a horizontal and make your way up the offset, and then slightly left. Pull over a bulge and into some white rock and stem your way up to a nice stance below a large bulge at maybe 75'. 

  From here traverse slightly left on the varnished ledge, and then climb up on bomber jugs, following the crack for protection.  Things thin out, but the rock quality does not.  Spaced out crimps, huecos and jams get you to the top, for an excellent stance and trucker anchor. 

  Raps with an 80m.

150 feet of fun face, and partial crack, climbing up the wall and past a couple of bulges. Follow bolts up then eventually trending left to a two bolt anchor. Worth doing.

Crack climbing with lots of face holds to keep it mild.   

  Either climb from the ground or the top of the boulder pile.  Plug a piece or 2 and walk up the slabby section.  The climb gets real right away with a bulging transition followed by vertical crack climbing of various sizes.   

  I placed a #5 camalot at the bulge but would have made do with a #4 if I had one.

Bomb proof rock, crack and huecos.  Take this well protected line up to the giant ledge above.  Good on its own, but necessary to access the 3 climbs above.

Not the chossy chimney it appears to be.  Climb the corner and follow the obvious crack up and right. 

  Nice stances and enjoyable climbing to a nice pod with an anchor made of fixed hexes.  Might rap with a 70m, but cannot confirm.

Jungle Gym would be a great route anywhere else, but sandwiched between two classics, and with slightly lower-quality rock, it doesn't quite stack up. 

  Begin to the left in a corner feature, place a 0.75 Camalot and traverse straight right to more gear and a bolt - in order to prevent rope drag, I'd suggest backcleaning that 0.75 or soloing to this point.  Continue up steep rock and gear placements to an anchor high on the wall.

This is a toprope of the plumb line off the anchor to Jungle Wall.   

  Climb the enjoyable jugs until the wall blanks out.  Traverse right, and climb parallel to the large crack system, then traverse left (crux) back to the bolt line.  Finish up the last 20 feet of Jungle Wall. 

  Except for the last bit, this line is completely independent of the bolted line.

Middle route from the Cougar Ledge. Climb the corner and traverse left into the crack system, taking it to the shared anchor.

Probably the most enjoyable 5.8 I have done in the park. 

  Double cracks that start in a stembox. Follow the tracks to the anchor in the alcove.

Leftmost climb off the Cougar Ledge.  Climb up large holds, plug a #4 cam in a perfect sized hueco, and keep your wits about you.  Climb up and slightly right, snag a jug, find the good feet, get some more gear in.  Now head up and left, to the really good gear, get it in, and hear your belayer exhale.  Follow the crack to the top, and a shared anchor with The Panther.

Pitch 1: (10a 100') Runout face climbing on solid varnish until reaching the right slanting crack. Climb the crack until level with the ledge. Traverse left and belay on ledge.

 Pitch 2: (10a 100') Use the anchor as your first piece, grab the rail, and smear and mantle up. Run it out to the thin crack. Climb straight up the crack to a fixed anchor.

 Pitch 3: (5.9-) Climb the crack into the corner, stemming and pulling on jugs to mitigate the steepness. Follow the corner to the top.

 This climb is very straightforward, with an obvious set of features to guide you, but is enjoyable, especially the 3rd pitch.

 Raps cleanly with a 60m rope.

Man this route is rad. Start climbing off the nice little ledge on some pretty thin slabbin straight up the black water streak (crux). On this section you will make your way past five bolts until you gain a nice little crack on your right after a nice rest. Climb up the crack system which is really cool using finger locks, hand jams and crimps until you hit another bolt at about 100 feet.  

  At this point, bust out right and do a cruxy move pulling the buldge on your right, while clippin another bolt. After you pull the buldge, start breakin left onto the slab clipping the last bolt for a while. Climb up the slab until you're quite a ways off that bolt (30 feet) and climb into a shallow corner. There is a blue TCU placement on the left side of the corner if you feel like you need some pro.

After seeing the photo of the Schwack, this line is pretty obvious.   I guess that means it wasn't an onsight?Climb the chimney of the Schwack, exiting from the back right? corner.  Pull around onto the face, following the crack to a ledge.  If there's no rope drag continue up the easy crack to another ledge, just above the Schwack anchor.  After bringing your partner up, scramble down to that anchor to rap with any rope.

Climb the double finger cracks off the ground (stay in the left one for better rock and more fun). Continue jamming up a multitude of sizes until climbing on top of a dusty ledge.  Either build a belay here or....Climb the offwidth/chimney at the back of the ledge.Plug gear in the crack at the back of the imposing roof. The crack in the roof is tight, but there is a miraculous lip that allows you to layback across the face, and climb around the roof (Crux).(5.9 pg-13 variation.) Instead of doing the roof moves, stem to the outside of the alcove, and climbers left onto the face.Continue up the crack above to an anchor above.

Left Edge is the leftmost route on the Jungle Wall, and despite the bouldery start is, perhaps, the best warmup available.  A beautiful, but reachy and committing, sequence up the arête leads to enjoyable face climbing.

A parasitic toprope, feeding off the neighboring climb and its anchor. Attractive and techy, this face climb will make your sport climbing friends say "That was the best pitch of the day" because they have no idea what they're talking about. 

  Crimps and balancey moves, best ended where the climb slabs out, or send it to the top and help clean out that chossy crack above.

An Aye-Aye is a confused looking creature you may find in the Jungle at night. It is the largest nocturnal primate and has 1 hillarious looking finger. 

  This climb runs up the crack, but being Red Rock you end up using the crack for protection and face holds and huecos to ascend.  The rock is bomber, the pro is solid. The one short section of white rock runout is far below the grade.  

  It's steep, straightforward route finding, and ends above a nice roof pull. 

  Originally this line was climbed to the top in 7 pitches, ending just below Luxor Wall at dusk. We took in one of the best views in the park. Then we rapped out looking like a couple of Aye-Ayes. Oh, and I had 1 hillarious looking Finger. 

  You should just climb the 1st pitch and rap/top rope. You're probably not ready to go all the way.

Climb either from the ground up the corner right of Jungle Wall, or start on top of the tower where Jungle Gym begins.  Climb, jam, and stem up great rock, eventually ending up right at Jungle Gym's bolted anchor.

It looks like a serious crack climb, but this thing doesn't bite. Crack takes big pro, face offers jugs and huecos to the top. Bomb rock and relatively steep for the grade.

Jungle Wall is the second route on the wall climbers' right. The first bolt is about 25 feet off the deck but the climbing to get to it is easy. Climb up the wall for about 100 feet on 5.9 terrain until it starts getting thin and you're at the crux. Do some power slabbin for a few moves and catch a good rest. 

  After the rest you're pretty much in there. Finish up on a little more friable rock and rap from the chains with two 60 meter ropes.

Left of Canopy Crack is a pillar, with a steep offwidth crack between it and the wall.  Chimney up, plug a cam near the top, and get on up.  From here walk to the center of the pillar, and start heading up the juggy varnish, using mostly horizontals for gear.  You are working toward the obvious feature, a miniature right facing corner that leads to a seam and thin crack.   

  Follow this feature until the climbing naturally leads you right to Canopy crack, where you will climb the last section of that route to a shared anchor. 

  70m may get you down. 80m definitely would.

Crack system immediately left of Little Britches. Climb starts with small, mediocre pro. Key holds are hidden pockets. It doesn't slab out as fast as you think it will.

 Nice varnished feet disappear quickly, but allow the placement of cams in the right facing sidepull and in the shallow pocket above. Work up to a hard to see pocket, and the rest is enjoyable fun movement, and locker jams in the crack. 

 Lower from the anchor or climb up and traverse left to join the last pitch of Elephants on Parade. Either way a 60m gets you down.

Jungle Wall is a really cool place to go and do some craggin. It is in the shade pretty much all day. The rock is hard and beautiful. You won't have to wait in line for a route. And when you rope up, you can count on doing a whole lot of climbing before you untie. Oh, and the view is awesome.
