Dance of the Shaman 5.10b

Protection - 3 bolts + 2 Anchor Bolts.

This is the second bolted route to the right of the walk through, looking at the sunny side of the feathers.

After the first bolt you will start to wander left towards the arete. Then you will climb back to the other side of the pillar and up the middle to the anchor. All holds are nice and flat/incut, making for enjoyable and not very difficult climbing at this grade. There are a few bigger moves for 10b on this route, albeit all on very good holds.

Old Crack 5.7

The first crack to the right of the walk through (looking at the wall). 2 Feet to the right of Don Coyote.

Gear to 4 inches, anchor draws and 2 more quickdraws if you finish on Don Coyote. Though you can get by just fine with a #3 Camalot for the lower large placement.

Climb the crack using good holds/jams and stems. If you can't jam you could still climb this route just fine, as there are many positive incut holds. Finish on the pillar top at a bolt hanger anchor or on Don Coyote with chains and clipping a bolt or two.

Forty Bucks in the Dark 5.0

On the shady side of the feathers on the far right side, this is the 3rd to last bolted climb. 2 Pillars left of "Ruffled Feathers" and "Feather in my Cap". There is a small message written on this pillar in white ink.

Protection: 5 Bolts + 2 Bolts at the Anchor.

Climb this less than vertical pillar on very good holds. A very chill and easy climb.

Where the Sidwalk Ends 5.1

Protection: 3 Bolts + 2 Anchor Bolts.

The 4th to last bolted line on the right - Shady side of the Feathers. Left of "Forty Bucks in the Dark" and right of "The Becky Route".

Climb up a less than vertical pillar on very good holds and over a small bulge (why this route isn't 5.0). If you wanted to you could top out and walk off.
