One of the best on the cliff. Jam, stem, and lieback up the Long left facing dihedral 50 ft left of Obviously Five Believers.  Goes through all the sizes, but bring extra .5 and .75 camalots.

.. As good as anything in the desert!!

this route is super good!! the first pitch is a dumpy very wide crack that ends on a ledge.. there are two wide cracks to choose from to get you to the money pitch.. i would do the right of the two.. it is easier and since you have no gear on either might as well make it easy on yourself.. After groveling to a sick ledge then the fun begins with a fingers splitter (crux) start that widens to hands and rest pods.. Super good route that sees no traffic at all!!!! It is right of all along the watch tower.. ENJOY

Climb the left side of the 20ft pinnacle to a large ledge. Take the varnished thin hands crack off the ledge straight up until you've manteled into a Sandy scoop.

A fun, thin line which quickly takes you through thin hands to tips to face climbing past an unprotectable seam. This route has some mandatory climbing above small gear. Just enough pods to keep the protection reasonable.

Large open book.  Jam hands to fingers up the obvious black dihedral 50 feet left of Idiot Wind.

This is the huge wide roof on the far right of the wall.  Start with the fingers splitter into the cave and then step out into the massive, wide roof. Established ground-up onsight.

The first half is a great 5.9 warm up- then undercling out the awesome roof, clip the bolt, and then good luck pulling the foothold free transition from the underclings on flared big fingers into the flared chimney. Amazing it goes free, because it seems to just barely go. A worthy send. Would be 4 stars if not for the horrible silt that cakes the wall under the roof and in the upper crack.

Climb wide hands in a corner for 40' then over some solidly stacked blocks up to the chimney, which is easier than it looks.  Goes through a tunnel before popping back out to the anchor on the arete.  Fun and mellow but a bit sandy.

The crux kicks in at the top in the offwidth, before you can get your knee in- sound familiar?

Great climb, and pretty good OW training. On top-rope the second can easily lie-back, making the crux much much easier. Bring the big gear and make this route part of your Dylan wall adventure.

Four Crack systems right of Bob Can't Climb.  An adventure climb, ie. expect some loose rock and some wide climbing.

A long pitch with good variation in size.  Located on the right side of the wall 30' left of a giant overhang.  Climb the right facing dihedral hands to wide hands. Two rope rappel 160'.

Long varied climbing in a left facing corner. Double cracks at the top ease the tension You get a little bit of everything on this route. A good warm-up for the area in my opinion

This route is located on the left side of the established routes.  It is a dihedral just left of Knocking on Heaven's Door. Starts with a bad sized hand/finger crack that quickly changes into a super thin crack.(crux) after passing the crux the crack undulates from fingers to tight hands off and on climbing with a fun sequence towards the top.

Hard face climbing up thin right facing corner to break, continue up thin cracks to anchors right of triangular blocks.

This discontinuous thin crack is located in the middle of the Dylan Wall. There is a three bolt anchor visible from below at about 80'. To the right is a long sustained crack in a left facing dihedral (

Blood on the Tracks

). There is a somewhat broken boulder directly behind the route. A pod at 8' takes a #3 Camalot. From there move up the thin crack with good rests to plug gear and ponder your next moves. There were no moves that felt 11c and the route is extremely well protected.  Enjoyable from start to finish.

MP comments noting that this section of Isis is a moderate 5.9 has led to it being climbed quite often. So much so that a nice set of chains was added at some point.

A thin-hands start leads to a predominately .75 crack in a left facing dihedral interspersed with the occasional hand sized pod for rests. The .75 section is at what could be considered a layback-friendly angle.

This variation of Isis can be climbed with a 60m rope.

Pull up and onto the big flake, then a move or two of fingers into a hands pod. Continue up the narrowing crack with good face holds and one final tricky sequence to the anchor.

Left of Planet waves about 400 feet find an immense fallen block. The route edges up the wingate slab formed by this block past seven bolts.

Climb to pedestal. Clip a bolt then face climb to a left facing flake/crack. Jam crack to the top.
