A good warm-up following a vague groove. Move slightly left after the second bolt and slightly right after the third.

Good pockets and edges over the small bulge to a shallow right-facing dihedral, exit this to the anchors.

A decent moderate sport route with a distinct crux move right to a big edge at about 1/2 height.

Scramble up the ramp to the beginning of the left facing dihedral.  The crack is initially large hands, but closes down quite quickly.  Plenty of face holds provide very fun stemming.  The crux move WILL make you think!

Don't let the name dissuade you, this thing actually cleaned up very well and offers a great longer line with mostly 5.8/5.9 climbing. The lower section climbs some hollow features, but these all stood strong against the pry-bar... The difficulty might be height-dependent, as the crux pulls are long.

Start on the steep lower wall on hollow jugs and flakes, pull crux bulge at 15' with a couple big moves between big holds, continue up a left-leaning seam with jugs to a small ledge, finish up the steep slab on solid edges and pockets to a roomy anchor ledge.

Starts with a moderate left-facing corner up to a small ledge. From the ledge, follow the bolts up and slightly right over the crux bulge.

Good jugs lead up the peanut butter rock to the bulge, make a cruxy layback left out the flake to good jugs, romp up the slab on good features to the shelf.

This was another solo from a few years back that recently underwent heavy cleaning and bolting.

If you've climbed here much, you've probably reveled in the pugs (pocket/jugs) that pepper the cliff, and perhaps had some encounters with the wheezy canines of the same name that grace the trail...

The left-hand of the two routes which begin with steep, overlapping flakes. Excellent sustained slightly overhung pockets to a crux rollover onto the final slab.

The right-hand of the two routes which start with steep, overlapping flakes. Stays slightly right of the bolts on the gently overhung lower section.

Maverick is potentially the most technical line in Piney Creek Canyon as of 2019. Climbing ranges from strong and long dynamic climbing, edge traversing, high step commitment, ballerina fitness, and pure crimp endurance. Although the line general goes up, there are many sections that force you away and back into the bolt line, with the crux having a possible high step cheater clip to work one of these sections. A MUST DO for all you tech savvy sporties out there wanting to piece together this enduro quest.

The large fat diagonal crack towards the end of the trailside wall. Although this could be climbing on the traditional protection, The sharp edge would just be begging to cut ropes. The climbing is intriguing and different and well worth at least one lap.

The crack above Hands off can be climbed to reach the anchors of Prospectes of Paid Time off. This extension is prob only 5.4 and takes large gear.

A great line with a cruxy bulge 25' up. Don't miss the hidden slot to the right of the 3rd bolt, or it'll seem harder than .10c!

A grungy initial step, juggy bulge, weave up good edges/jugs to horizontal roof, crux layback move out roof to monster jugs to finish it off.

A great moderate that was soloed years ago, and recently received a heavy cleaning and bolting. Tight bolting for the 5.8 leader.

This route starts with a fun under cling to some good hands and feet at the second bolt. From there the route goes slightly right of the bolt line up some fun features to the anchors. The crux is from the 4th to 5th bolt.

This route can be top roped from the anchors of Lance Hardwood, just to the right. You will have to place at least one directional from the top. So swing to the left after climbing Lance Hardwood and place a directional if you want to top rope it.

A long sustained line with great movement. Cruxy start, with a couple thin sections up higher too.

Start off on huge underclings moving up through some juggy flakes to end on a cruxy headwall with sneaky pockets and ledges. Closely bolted.

I'll share FA status with you!

This is one power full route that really packs a punch for its short length. The 2nd bolt was added shorty after the original bolting due to a key undercling explosion. Bolts close down low to protect the ground fall as the grade comes from the first 20 or so feet of the route.

A great route to project as climbing Chospectors is both a good warm up and an access to hang draws or a top rope.

Overall, this route flows pretty well! There may be a crux at the top of the headwall, but for the most part it is sustained FUN! This is a very fun route that is a must climb on trail side. If you want to set up a top rope, you can swing over from Chosspectors.

Bolted in a single weekday with Spiegelberg. A day of personal time off was used to take a Wednesday and get some real work done.

Prospects of PTO climbs up through three distinct waves while ascending the wall; each surmounted by a short boulder move leading to good rests.

Another worthwhile route and by far the best endurance route on the trail side wall. Definitely worth the day of PTO it took to put up the hardware.

Starts with a bulge on great pockets. Moderate slab to the crux roof pull on crimps. More moderate terrain to the top. Free-soloed on the first ascent for lack of partner.
