A, or the, crux comes quick on this route. Climb the shallow corner\crack up past a 2 bolts, climb up, slightly right through a notch in an overlap. Continue up to the varnished, plated wall to a seam\crack system that leads straight up to the another crux just below the anchor.

Straight to the Point

Climb up onto the ledge, a few steep moves on jugs on the left seam\headwall, lead to a slab and rest. Climb up, slightly right, on ever steepening, beautiful black varnished rock, to a bit of a crux near the top.

Probably the best route on the cliff with a pumpy finish and difficult clip at the anchor. 

Fun, thoughtful climbing leads to a definitive crux near mid-route

Climb a left facing corner to its top. Move right over a bulge and finish up the corner above.

The climb starts on the varnished slab left of "Cactus Juice". Follow the line of bolts up the well varnished wall to a low angle slab. At the top of the slab, climb up and into a shallow corner\crack\flake system, (a piece of gear .75 - 2 is recommended here). Follow the crack\flake up and slightly left to the anchor

Start climb just right of, (or just climb the start of) Cactus Root, Clip the righthand bolt, (glue in), follow line/bolts up and slightly left through the light colored rock, (jugs), then up through the steep darker varnished rock, (crux), and up to chain anchors just up and left of the blunt arete.

Follow the obvious stairway to a short slab, climb slightly up to the left of the small overlap and back right to a final steep wall to the anchor

Climb starts on the varnished wall just left of "Peyote and the magic stairs" on the far-left end of the Cactus Massacre Crag. Follow the line of bolts up the steeper lower wall to a low angle slab, up and slightly right to a steep headwall, (the crux) and the anchor.

This climb starts on the obvious large Heucos on a small blunt arete right of "Cactus Head". A few steep and pumpy moves lead to a shallow corner, then straight up a headwall, (the lower crux), which sets you up for a nice seated rest on the sloping ledge above. The rest may be needed to tackle the large over-hang above that guards the anchors.  Climb up off the ledge on large unique left-downward slanting \sloping edges to the roof. Climb up and slightly right, easier, (go left for big holds, steeper hero fun) then hand traverse back left for 8-10' on good holds and one final move to the anchors.

Start below steep gray wall in center of the cliff.

A really fun climb up the obvious blunt arête.

This route is fun from the start to the finish. Start on the crack in middle of the crag, gain holds on the steep face on the right. climb up through a technical crux, (1st - 2nd bolts). jugs lead up the ever steepening wall to the roof, good holds lead you up and left, then back right to the anchors.

Like its neighbor to the right, this route has a really fun, slightly technical start, with interesting climbing up to, (and beyond) the definitive crux just above mid-height on the route. 

Climb up pockets to join a left facing corner. Climb the corner, then head up the steep wall(3b's) into an overhanging seam which leads to the top.

Just like the name says, this route wastes no time getting to it! Climb the side by side, steep seams in the dark rock on good jugs, pinches, and edges to a steep face. Continue up the seams on super fun moderate steep face\slab to a 5.8 overlap\roof. Once over come, a fun romp up 30' feet of easy slab.

The wall gets sun from mid morning on. Steep gray wall with several good routes.
