This is a awkward and pump climb located at the far right side of the cliff.  Start of on insecure yet well-protected moves to get off the ground, and pull off a small ledge for the first crux.  Then climb enjoyable positive face action to the halfway mark.  The second crux is pulling onto another ledge system, then fight up the arete.  You get style points for not using the alders near the anchor. Thin face moves make for a proper victory.

Second to the far right climb on the Tunnel Wall, this route starts by stemming across to a ledge at the first clip. It then follows the bolts straight up to the finish line.  Two cruxes are located on the upper half of the route after leaving good rests.  This is the easiest route on the face and has a high number of positive holds.  This along with closer bolts than some other routes makes it a great warm-up or first time dry tool experience.  It is a bit more dirty in the summer so where a helmet.

This is the fourth route from the right. This long route starts up a huge flake and fights through pumpy, overhanging terrain with great holds.  This beginning is the crux, then it cuts left onto the vertical face and up some less sustained moves.  The upper third portion of the route is once again a long, continuing fight offering many different styles of climbing.  Try and not get spit out of the tricky cave moves near the top.  Blank face, overwhelming options with hidden tinny ledges, caves, cracks, and pockets make this a great route.

Climb 20' vertical face to the base of a large roof.  From here, cut right along bolt line out and through the lid and onto vertical face climbing.  Slings on the lower clips will keep rope drag down for the upper half.  Then enjoy the second 50' of mellower climbing to the anchor. Keep an eye out for ledges, but dont freak out. They are well-protected for a cool head that wants to enjoy a great climb.

This is the third route from the right. Start on an overhanging, juggy flake, and fight the first crux till the wall goes more vertical.  Shake out on ledge, and prepare for a thin, technical section for the middle crux using tinny holds or a layback the sloper.  From here, it is a bit more straightforward up the arete through big fetchers and through to the finish line.

This route shares the first 20' vertical feet of Right-a-Way Gone Wrong then charges straight through the roof following a thin white line.  Finish climbing up a mellow and enjoyable 60' headwall to the anchor.  Rappel the route with great caution using a 60m rope!!

This route starts in the middle of the wall on 15 feet of vertical climbing. It then works up a 20' long, 30 degree overhanging jug fest.  Pull the roof and climb vertical rock to the upper half of the route that consist of ledges, roofs, and many other funky types of climbing.

This short route is located under the overhang.  Climb up past bolts, and move left to a long chain anchor.  The bolts flow well for a rock climb, but this may feel a bit different as a dry tool line.  Still, it is climbing, so why not?

The tunnel wall is a vertical 100+' face of rock offering rock climbing in the spring and summer and mixed climbing year round.  It is located in Keystone Canyon yet despite this the wall is sheltered from the wind, receives great midday/afternoon sun in the fall, spring and summer and is steep enough to often stay dry when the weather is on the damp side. The routes are generally long and steep so be ready to enjoy a bit of a pump and utilize the ledges and caves for a good rest when you can.  All routes are sport and the rock quality is good.  This is a newly developed wall so there may still be some dirt and small loose pieces but much cleaning has went into the area and we are very happy with the outcome.  All routes can be ether rock climbed in the summer or dry tooled during the winter months!!
