Get the opening jug and the long sidepull, then work your way up through fun feet and some bizarre micro chickenheads to the top.

Mark Large Arete

Thin and sustained, albeit short, this route is excellent quality but has grown over some since the hey day of Black Mountain.  The bolts were chopped and the studs are still visible.  Might want to bring a brush, but worth a little effort.

Fun climb. Just to the right of the arete.

Start on the right side of the faint corner in the middle of the boulder.  Traverse right all the way to the finish of Chianti.

Straight forward climbing to the top.  Crux is at the lip midway, pull through to easy pockets and pinches above.

Begin the thin face on a couple good holds, then move through a surprisingly thin section to the roof. Pull the roof on horizontals, then establish on the face above to the top.

Excellent climb! Fluid moves, with just a little spice. 

 Climb the interesting holds near the right arete of the block. Can be tricky in the middle and at the very top.

Sit start at the lip of the low roof on obvious holds.  Make big moves straight up and top out.

First move crux. Climb over the opening bulge then hang on to excellent iron band pockets to the top. Stick Clip.

Establish yourself in the wide crack feature, then make your way up and onto the face until you reach the roof. Pull the roof on wonderful jugs to the top. 

Sit start in obvious flake near the right side of the overhanging face.  Work up and right to the arete, then up to finish on the obvious jug.

Follow the lower rail around the arete and top out in large jugs above the left face.

Difficult start. Get the jug rail after an odd move off the ground, then head for the obvious knob and rest, then straight up to the top.

Sit Start in a low juggy hole.  Follow the lip and top out staying off the lower rail

Obvious water groove. Straight forward climbing.

Fun climbing on bomber flakes.  Well worth the time!

Thin nearly vertical face climb.  Climb the slopes and dishes and make the feet stick until you hit the rest, then power through the second half to a horizontal, then top out.  

  This was one of the routes which was bolted and then chopped. It appears someone put a new bolt in, then removed the hanger leaving a bright shiny stud about midway.

Good holds all the way up, although slightly sandy and pebbly.

 If this has already been done before, please post the previous route info so I can update it.

Crux move off the ground. Climb the water gunnel feature on toothy rock. Plenty of interesting holds, with a little spice. Stick clip. 

This area has a high collection of moderates and toprope routes. The Flyin' Hawaiian wall and the Elvis Wall are both in this Upper Area.
