Start on a small block left of the first bolt and climb up and right following crimps and pockets to the first bolt. Angle left to the second bolt and then immediately back right towards the anchors.

This route meanders a bit, but with the general directions given above it's not too hard to find the path of least resistance. Climbing is mostly vertical with some slightly steep sections. Be ready for bigger moves on crimps and pockets.

This route has really cool moves!  Thin and balancy.  Climb the face and flake with some traversing to reach the top.

Climb up the arete with very thin moves passing some very shallow horizontals to a good stance(crux).  Continue up and join the upper portion of Lunar Tunes for the finish.

One of my favorites at Ambassador! Crimpy slab climbing and technical movements the whole way. If you enjoy slabs, this climb is worth the trip to this small and obscure area.

This climb is essentially a sport route and is possible to be climbed on just the bolts. However it's less heady if you take some gear mostly for the start and potentially a few other places.

Climb the finger crack in a short dihedral.  Fairly sustained for the 30 Ft. of climbing.

Start in the flake system and climb up to the roof.  Move right, clip the bolt and continue to the top.  The crux is right at the bolt, but the top can be a bit heady.  The finish is a bit dirty.

Great route that starts out as a fist and wide hand crack for a little more than the first half and then changes up to some face climbing to the top.

Climb the large flake system to the base of the roof and then traverse towards the arete and where the roof tapers out. Establishing yourself on the arete above is the crux. Follow the arete to a two-bolt anchor. If you manage the rope drag well, it's a worthwhile route if you find yourself in the area.

A perfect balancy face climb, with your mandatory long NRG moves and a thought-provoking crux. This may just be the first sport route in the gorge, a wonderful climb deserving of this coveted title! Originally this route had two bolts and two pins, now it sports 3 bolts and no pins. A very light rack will suffice for this route.

Climb to the top of the 4 inch crack, plug some gear, and find your smeary slab feet. Aim for the crack up and left. Jugs galore and top out through sketchy terrain and lots of briars.

This thing takes great gear and if it had anchors would see more traffic. Way more fun than it looks.
