Located on the upper section of summer wall, this leftmost route follows steep jugs to a grassy ledge. Tackle a slightly over hanging face to another ledge and then clip them chains. Safe now, but man, did we trundle some big rocks.

As soon as your feet leave the ground you're faced with the first of three little cruxes. After you conquer the bulge it is straight up to the tree tops from there. Fun 5.7 moves from the first until the last.

First route to the right of the Oracle, look for a high first bolt in white rock on an over hanging start. Stick clip, and pull some jugs to get established on the ledge. From here to the top is a fun romp up easy terrain using some really interesting rock. Oranges and blacks and white crystals abound! Theres even a cool pocket! This route was named in honor of the great Jessica Walter, aka Lucille Bluth, and one of my favorite lines of hers in the show. 

After some cleaning this section of wall turned out to be a pretty easy and enjoyable sport route. Climb the left trending ramp past bolts stepping around an outside corner to the anchor. Because this route traverses it's best to clip all of the bolts as directional if your party is planning on toproping. 

Prednisone climbs the very overhanging groove in the center of the steep alcove on the lower end of Summer Wall. Start with a dirty slab, past 3 bolts, until you get to a steep mini-wall. Surmount this wall (5.10+) and gain a stance on a sloping ledge before the upper corner.From here, climb up and right into the very steep corner, using progressively worse holds, and passing a hard clip. Big heroic moves lead to a topout on the slab beyond the chains. One note: The upper corner requires a diligent belay because there's a lot of rope out, and it's some pretty hard climbing above that midway ledge. Too much slack in the system could result in hitting the ledge.

Though Jay insists that I gave this one way too much name for a shorty lil climb I find it to be a fun name for a delightful lil route. Start up a slightly inverted face, make your way around the overhang to the right and find the base of the corner. This section is much easier if you have good hand jam skills but nothing can take away a slight awkward factor. That's part of it's charm. 

Climb up into a dank chimney thing then place a cam. Move awkwardly right out of the cave onto a chossy detached flake. When standing on the flake place small cam and climb the filthy crack to a ledge. Surmount a big root and some turf to finish. I will probably clean this one and put in a couple of bolts and anchor. Because gee, I guess I think it's that much fun. 

Stick clip then fire up a steep flake for a few bolts. After the flake the climbing is more broken up but there is still a fun move or two. 

This is a powerful route for Russell, and climbs the right side of the steep alcove. Start with a couple bolts worth of slab, then make powerful moves (and powerful clips) up the steeper-than-it-looks wall. For three bolts worth, this is pretty sustained, and a worthy tick for the 5.12 climber. By the way, like any other appropriately woke climber, I only eat free-range, organic, chicken egg omelettes. As such, I would never condone eating this route's namesake. It's a joke, so please don't redact the name!  

As you walk to the right from Winter wall, look for an obvious roof with fixed quick draws. This is the left/low end of the  Summer Wall. Some of those roof climbs are closed projects. If the first bolt is marked with a red tag (typically tape but can be many materials) the route is not yet open to the public. There are some really interesting mostly short routes here and you get afternoon shade.
