This climb is great for the grade and pulls a fun bulge/roof on huge jugs with great feet.  The roof isn't even the crux, it's a rewarding treat at the end of the climb. It is longer than the 5.8 that is two climbs over, and gives a better warm-up. Brown bolts/hangers.

Starts with moderate climbing that gets more challenging as you ascend, making for a nice warm-up climb.  Climbs up face to steeper ground with a nice section of crack.

This entertaining route climbs through a lower angle section of grey rock (4 or 5 bolts) to a small roof that is fun and not the hardest part of the climb. Crux is near the top of the grey rock section, about halfway up the climb. Plenty of excellent footholds get you through the touch sections, including the roof.  Great climb for the grade!

Head up to steepening rock, and fun moves to reach a small ledge. Interesting climbing on great stone reaches the anchors.

 Look for a short, right-angling crack at the base,  and bolts that head straight up above its left side.Easy climbing leads to a steep section, where the crux in encountered. Challenging but easier moves pass the left side of a huge hole, and up to the anchors.

Start on either route to the left or right for two bolts, then engage this line, boldly going up to the overhang near the top. Once above this, an anchor is located in a small alcove.

Although there is a bit of blocky, fractured stone, this is still a worthy climb. Head up and out left onto the steep headwall, and up to the anchors.

Interesting climbing gains the rest ledge. Sustained moves reach the anchors.

This climb moves up some easy rock to some very difficult moves, culminating in the crux near the top. Look for the anchors out right.

Climbs over two bulges/roofs then stays left of week dihedral. Good movement with some cryptic holds, fun foot sequences, and it is surprisingly not that pumpy. Really fun climbing and would get three stars, but the bottom third is on heavily fractured rock (aka "Choss").  Belayer should stand to the right and wear a helmet.

One of the finest routes on the wall, with multiple hard sections, and a variety of climbing styles. Once the crux section is attained, the moves are sustained on superior rock. The final slab passing the pockets will require Jedi mind tricks!

Start up easy stone to a very technical and difficult set of thin moves, which relent before the rest ledge. A small but strenuous roof is encountered, then beautiful rock to the anchors.

Climbs easier (9 ish) ground with some fun traversing to a challenging roof pull. Lower section has some lichen that demands careful foot placements. Bolt line is dead straight but the route wanders in the middle (in a fun way.)

One of the best routes on the wall; an area classic! Climb up face, past a tiny roof, to a left angling set of moves that reaches the bottom of the major right-facing corner system. Continuously challenging climbing ascends this corner, but often the moves are just out to the right. At the top, move back left, and up to the anchors.

Laugh your way up to the steep technical crux, which is sustained and tricky, finally reaching a small hole. Moderate moves reach the anchors.

A long and fun route over cool features through the middle of the wall.

Climbs up a corner system using plenty of stemming and a little lieback.  Gets steeper right before the chains.  It's 5.8, but you have to actually pay attention to get through it.  Movement is not entirely intuitive and the stemming is on rock that doesn't feel as sticky as you'd hope. I only give this one star, but if you love stemming and are in the mood for something different from most of Homestead, this may be for you! Bolts to carabiners at anchors.

Easy moves lead up to a small ledge. The remainder of the route is very engaging all the way to the anchors. A seam bearing some nice pockets leads to a small roof. The crux involves clearing this roof, but save some energy for the steep section above.

NOTE: Be aware that many of these climbs are directly above climbs at Bonetown. Pay attention to what's below you, don't trundle rocks and use extreme caution if there are climbers below you, or even better, move over to a climb that is not above them!

 This area was developed largely by Scott Ayers, Dan Cohen, and Tanya Bok, but the first route was bolted by Larry Meier (who passed away in Dec 2015). It features a nice group of long (60 to 80 feet) 5.10 to 5.11 climbs with a few 8s/9s to warm-up on. It's a good area for the start of the day because many of the routes on the right start on easier ground and get progressively harder, giving you a long warm-up before you get to the crux. This west facing cliff is shady in the morning and gets sun after about 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. The rock is OK quality with many routes (even an 8!) that pull a small roof. And the roof often isn't the crux! This area is nice if you're new to the Homestead because the climbing is a little less intense but still requires technique.
