Pabst Trap is an awesome link-up that starts on the arete, traverses across the middle of the wall, and finishes the same as Chu? and Sparks. Clips first three bolts of the Orange Crush arete, clips the 4th bolt of  Topical Rush, and cruxes into Chu? Do it for yer warm-up. Classic.

Pabst Trap

Orange Crush

Chu?

Topical Rush

New Thursday

Sparks

New Thursday is a good variation that combines the first half of the Orange Crush arete with the second half of Topical Rush. Essentially this variation avoids the brutal starting crux of Topical Rush, but you still have to execute the multiple cruxes of the second half of the route. The climbing on the upper section is some of the best I've ever found on Elden. Top out, or it doesn't count.

Orange Crush is the steep, colorful arete on the left side of the wall. Bolted by Bryce Snyder, one of the original discoverers, it climbs the arete past an awesome steep crux and finishes with a boulder problem to the chains. No dyno needed afterall.

This route has a very hard boulder problem in the first 20 feet, and then finishes with some hard, steep 5.11. One of the hardest routes in Flagstaff. Too bad it isn't more continuous. Sam Davis made the second ascent and called it 13b.

Topical Rush is the most bad ass sport climb on Mt. Elden. 50 feet of overhanging and featured dacite is a rare find in the Flagstaff area. The crux move down low is HARD and pinkie intensive. After the crux, a couple moves bring you to a decent rest. Crank through intense bouldery moves on some of the coolest holds I've ever found on Elden, then execute a big lunge to the top of the wall. Like all the routes on this wall, be sure to top out, or it doesn't count. Incredible climb!

Angling tips crack. Kinda painful. Favors skinny fingertips. One of the hardest, pure cracks around Flag. Short, but valid, crack testpiece.

The One Wall is a beautiful 50ft sheet of overhanging dacite high on Mt. Elden, overlooking the Flag Mall and East Flag. There are five routes with the possibility of a few variations. All routes have fixed draws(except for Sparks - a short and vicious angling tips crack) and lowering anchors.  

  The One Wall is named in honor of Jason Jackson, aka #1, who provided the motivation that resulted in the discovery of this proud little wall.
