Routes in Sierra East Side for selected grade

This route contains both some amazing climbing at the grade and some of the most unpleasant choss in the gorge. An amazing choss pile that won't be to everyone's enjoyment but for those that like navigating loose rock while doing some nice climbing, get on this and contribute to the cleanup of what will inevitably become a classic.

An area classic, considered stout at the grade especially for the tall. An extension continues above the anchor, adding some nice face climbing above but doesn't change the grade significantly.

Gripping slopey slab climbing.

Start left of the Black Hole chimney, up the crimpy face. Smile your way up lovely jugs through the steep roof and then climb carefully through some pretty bad rock in the top half. Great movement, but a few of those blocks and flakes aren't gonna be there forever. Leaders and belayers should wear helmets.

Fun and varied climbing straight up the middle of the south face of the solarium to an independent anchor down and left of the Sendero anchor on the top right edge of the pink slab.

To 35m: Climb straight above the new Beijing anchor into easy climbing for a few bolts. The route trends up and right through an obvious dihedral system. When the dihedral starts to trend straight up it becomes pumpy with an awkward crux over a bulge in the dihedral. Stand up over the bulge and clip the chains.

To 40m: From the 35m anchor at 11c do a huge move right to a mail slot, then another reachy move up and left to a good hold. Clip one bolt then do a bouldery move to holds and a delicate finish at another anchor above at 40m.

Note: you'll need an 80m rope to lower off the high 12b extension anchors.

Starts at the steep, slippery seam crack.

The 20m continuation above Genghis Khan up the steep dihedral.

Scramble up easy 3rd class terrain to an awesome headwall with a crux high on the route. Long draw on the first bolt helps a lot with drag or skip it if you're confident climbing easy choss.

Starting from the Silk Road/Chicken Feet shared anchor you will climb up and left along a left leaning edge/flake to a delicate reach to the anchor. Still a bit crumbly, but should improve with traffic. Starting on Silk Road or Chicken Feet and climb past the shared anchor. This extension can be climbed in one combined pitch with either of these climbs. Add 4 extra bolts to a mussy style anchor.

Good sustained crimpy climbing for the first half into and easier finale. Probably not the warmup you're looking for.

A sustained route with fun, bouldery moves. Short and punchy on the far right end of Dilithium crag, just above the anchor.
