This cracks offers plenty of satisfying jams of all sizes from fingers to fists.  There is one small offwidth pod that can easily be passed by using side features if you don't fancy wedging yourself that deep inside the crack.Start on the right edge of the mossy platform, straight up to get your first piece, then traverse left to the hand crack.  Keep going straight up to the roof, traverse right under the roof, pass the bulge, then enjoy the wide climbing.  Long sleeves are helpful.A 60m will get you down IF the belayer stands on the narrow platform close to the wall.  Tie a stopper knot at the end of the rope.

This cracks offers plenty of wide jamming and some decent mandatory offwidth.  Start on the right edge of the mossy platform, straight up to get your first piece, then traverse left to the hand crack.  Keep going straight up passed the roof where the wide climbing starts.  Save everything bigger than #.75 for after the roof.  Long sleeves are helpful.A 60m will get you down IF the belayer stands on the narrow platform close to the wall.  Tie a stopper knot at the end of the rope. 

Good mix of stemming and bomber finger jams on solid rock.p1: 5.10b, 22m, head straight up doing mostly finger moves.p2: 5.10b/c, 22m, head up on the dual crack system, bridging with stems when the cracks gets too thin for fingers.  Keep going until you reach the large ledge.p3: 5.10a, 17m, up the v-slot, turn right at the bush, get on top of the column, top-out anchor on the far wall.  Pro is a little finicky.Since p3 is not as good at the first two pitches, you might elect to rap from there.  If you top out after p3, there is another set of rap anchors on the ledge 10 meters right from where you top out that will merge with the route after two raps.  You can rap both options with a single 60m rope.

PITCH 1: 5.10c - 100 feet of fun, steep crack that keeps getting harder as you move upward. The slightly overhanging crux leads to bolted anchors.

 PITCH 2: 5.12a - 60 feet of steep to very overhanging finger/hand crack. Fun and Dynamic movement thru the roof.

 PITCH 3: 5.10a - Move to the right, climb the steep arete clipping bolts and a few gear placements. Finish thru an overhang to the left to a big ledge with bolted anchors.

 To descend, rappel with a single rope to the top of the 2nd Pitch, from here a 2 rope rappel will get you to the ground (Because of the large overhang of the roof, it is recommended doing the 2nd rappel to the ground with 2 ropes, as it can be difficult to access the anchors at the top of Pitch 1 when you are hanging 20 feet away from the wall!)

The Lost Dog Wall is the tallest area at Pete's Pile with an intimidating looking roof half way up the face.  There is currently one route here (K-9 Shanghai - 3 pitch 5.12a).  There is potential for many excellent multi-pitch routes at this section of Pete's Pile.   Hint: Bring a large rack and a wire brush for cleaning!
