Climb a left-facing corner feature past some pinches and layback features (beware of choss). Pumpy terrain leads over a short bulge to a stance in a groove. Move up and right over the last bulge through some sweet finger-locks to the chains.

This is a fun link-up that adds a little more pump to

Castle Magic

.

Start by climbing most of

Machine Gun

to the 8th bolt and a rest in a groove. Step left here, and clip the 5th bolt on

Castle Magic

before engaging the first of several excellent cruxes up the headwall.

A series of layback jugs takes you to crimpy terrain past the 3rd bolt. A punchy move gets you through the overhang and up to the big ledge. A final layback section with technical footwork takes you up the final headwall to the chains.

Start by climbing a short, arching crack (the same as

Fertile Crescent

) to an obvious jug where the crack becomes horizontal. From here, launch into a sea of 5.12 slab and face climbing to an obvious undercling rest at 3/4's height. A long, 6 to 8 move, crux sequence takes you past the last 2 bolts before you exit left to the crack, and follow that to the anchor.

Game Trail is an interesting hand to fist-sized crack splitting a low angle slab. Begin in a lieback feature, and then move right into the hand crack.

Originally a mixed route, this route is now fully bolted by the FA.

Start with some juggy laybacks up a dihedral feature past 5 bolts. After the corner ends enter the intimidating tan headwall past 3 more bolts. Pinches, knobs, crimps and excellent rock take you through a lot of committing 5.12 climbing to reach the chains.

Ramble up broken terrain (4 bolts) to gain the ledge at the base of the crack proper, then continue up hand/fist crack for 60 feet to the anchor.

Climb the right-arching crack past a bolt at the start. A high crux guards the chains on the redpoint.

Climb an easy intro slab to the first bolt. From here, a series of blocky jugs and featured cracks leads to a stance on top of a large block feature. A final tricky stand-up move brings you to the chains.

Layback up a big flake to the 2nd bolt. Continuous climbing on big fun holds takes you to the top of the watchtower and a final slab to the anchor.
