Start by climbing a right trending ramp. Mostly 5.9-5.10a climbing up to a dark colored bulge. Pulling the bulge and the following few slab moves is the crux.

Intricate face moves on small-but-positive flakes and edges lead to a small and sequential mini crux below the roof. If you run out of holds it can be useful to trend into the corner at right. Pull this up to a monstrous undercling and surmount the roof to the right. Line finishes on a short slab above.

The bottom is great fun as one can choose to tackle the face directly or stem in the dihedral. It seems most will climb this a little differently.

Well protected and worth the time.

Good route that starts with a funky start follows a wandering and somewhat confusing bolt line into an obvious gray V with a hand crack at the top. Middle section can be hard to read but involves a small traverse after clipping a bolt.

Paradise Valley guide gives this a 10a. Vassilopolous guide says 5.9

Watch the tree when lowering lest ye be impaled.

Stunning razor thin series of broken aretes. This gets 11b in the guidebook but feels soft for the grade.

Progress up a steep corner using a scattered crack system. Eventually transfer onto the prominent and intimidating black arete at around 2/3 height and layback (crux) up this arete and over the top to an easy juggy slab. Don't get sucked into the line of crimps on the yellow face to the right.

A hard V2/3 boulder problem guards the start for 2 bolts up to a small roof. After clipping the bolt at the roof, make a huge dynamic move (fun!) to a giant jug out right over the lip. After this, continue up the sustained steep face on hard crimps and good sidepulls to a small left-facing corner which will lead you to the chains.

Climb up the face just to the right of a nice looking, prominent corner crack to a good ledge. Make a few moves into a crack to the right of the bolts, and then make a big step left to finish up on the face to the chains.

A fine route on the left side of the cliff. Start by making some slightly awkward moves up an arete for a couple clips to attain a large ledge. Clip a bolt above this ledge and ascertain the best way to reach the next bolt without decking on the ledge (there is potential here, the moves are tenuous). After clipping this second (and slightly terrifying) bolt, the angle kicks back, launch a cool sequence up a thin face until the angle relaxes again into an easy romp to the chains.

A super fun and worthy arete climb (at Allenspur, no way! =P). Stick clip or clip the first bolt from a good edge at head height. Start with a moderate boulder problem involving a commited throw to a good sidepull out left and move up on great holds up the obvious flake. An interesting traverse move out right above a small blank face gains the arete proper. From here the route follows the arete on crimps, sidepulls, and wonderfully enjoyable technical moves to the small ledge shared with "Can't Kill Yourself" to the right. From here, make another interesting move to a good edge and cruise to the anchors.

A wonderfully pure arete. Technical, sustained, and not too hard. Get on it if you're comfortable with the grade.

Apparently originally done (and oft repeated) as a free solo. Straightforward slab and face climbing to a funky lieback move or two at the top. Climbs of Southwest Montana gives this a 5.8

Enjoyable if this is your grade but other climbs on the cliff outshine it.
