Slab to a ledge to a short, fun power crux, then big holds to a lower off station.

Thin balancy moves moving left off of 1st bolt. Easy mid section to crux, which is at start of roof.

It scrambles up the slap to the ledge then takes a steep start to a funky corner to a challenging/blind move out left around the roof at the last bolt. Fun route. Maybe 11a?

Two short cruxes bookended by very moderate climbing. First crux is bouldery and sure to spit off those who don't like open handed slopers, and after trying to rest on the very sharp holds, second crux has a difficult clip (long draw reccommended) and a hard move to an ugly chipped pocket. From there on it's hanging on and not pumping off. The highlight of the route is the finishing movement and features; the rock cleans up a lot once the difficulty eases and the top third of this route could be a fun and worthwhile toprope appropriate for people who've just led MJ11b and feel like a little extra milage. The quality of the first crux is high but this is not a destination route for those climbing the grade by any means with the proximity of the Glass House, Imagination Wall, the Roost, and the Hood.

this climb has multiple thin bouldery cruxes with a few alright rests in between, and a slightly runout finish.

Face climbing leads to a horizontal with a bulge above.  Make a big move with right hand to a large hole, climb over the bulge and finish up a short way to the chains. 

This is the best route at this crag. FUN climbing below the roof/bulge up the corner lined with pockets, then a sequential sequence leads you up the small crimps at the bulge to the anchors. This top section seems to spoil a lot of onsight attempts...

Thin and slightly steep technical climbing at the bottom leads to easier technical climbing. Finish at a ledge and the chain anchors. Don't know who first climbed this and happy to give credit where credit is due. Fun crimpy route.

Far left route on the cliff-easily accessed by scrambling/walking up to the finishing ledge and anchors. Fun and short, slabbish but positive.

Moderate climbing up face to crux move near top of route.

Consistent climb, no real crux. There's a marker on the first bolt that says the name, Getting Better with Age, and the grade - 9+10-. Great hands and feet all the way to the anchors. Great protection throughout.

Climb the grey slabby face with a few tricky moves, then pull past the bulge to gain the pumpy,and somewhat overhanging crack to the top. 

  5 bolts to anchors.

An interesting 5.8 with a few awkward moves on razor sharp edges. It'll feel harder than 5.8 if you don't figure out some of the hidden, not so obvious moves right away. IMHO...your average 5.8/5.9 leader may not like it that much.   5.10 on up leaders probably wouldn't mind it as a warm up though, especially if their fingers are used to sharp limestone edges. 

  5 bolts to anchors.

Stiffer companion piece to its neighbor on the left. If you go straight up, it's thin 11a. Traversing to the left to a crimp rail and a juggy sidepull allows heady 10b traverse in past the crux on small holds.

This shady cliff is home to several quality lines including a few moderate routes. The climbing consists of gray slabby rock and steeper orange rock. The classic of the crag is Mary Jane, a 5.11b that climbs a pocketed corner and pulls through a bulge. This cliff is a great destination to escape the Vegas heat, and has a short approach, even by Mt. Charleston standards.
