5.7 | ★★ Left Up
Left Up climbs a great finger and hand size crack just left of Stage Ledge. This climb serves as a great introduction to Looking Glass granite. Be careful the feet on the beginning of this climb are polished. Location: Left up is located just left of Stage Ledge, Bloody Crack, etc. Look for the obvious finger/hand crack that climbs to a ledge Protection: Standard NC rack (finger/hand sized), runners, single rope. Slings on the tree. | 24m | |||
5.7 | ★★★ Short Mans Alternative
Climb the face past horizontals to a big ledge. Location: Close to where the approach trail meets the right side of the South Face, beneath the middle of Stage Ledge. Descent: To get down, either rappel off the dead, fallen tree on Stage Ledge or do the "North Carolina 3rd class" down-climb off the climber's right side of the ledge. Protection: light rack, hands to fingers, no anchors | 24m | |||
5.7 | ★★ Bloody Crack
Can you see yourself in the starting holds? Generations of muddy-booted toproping campers have polished the footholds beyond all hope of repair.
Location: Bloody Crack is located near the right end of the South Face, below a large ledge with 4th-class access at the right end. Protection: No fixed gear. Standard rack. FA: Stan Wallace, Jim McEver & Ron Cousins, 1973 | 91m, 3 | |||
5.7 | ★★ Second Coming
Location: This is one of two obvious right-arching dihedrals well to the left of Gemini Crack (the other is Rats Ass). Protection: Standard rack. Rappel from either of two new sets of ring anchors (near the old rap tree) above Gemini Crack. Gemini can be crowded. FA: Stan Wallace, Ron Cousins, Art Williams & Jim McEver, 1972 | 85m | |||
5.7 | ★ Fat Dog
A great route that can be done in 2 long pitches.
Descent: Rap straight down Chaos out of Control. Double rope rap. Location:Obvious wide crack left of Unfinished Concerto. Protection: Nuts, double cams to 3 inch(optional 4-6 inch piece), many runners | 99m, 2 | |||

5.6 | ★ Short Mans Sorrow
Location: Close to where the approach trail meets the right side of the South Face, beneath the middle of Stage Ledge. To get down, either rappel off the dead, fallen tree on Stage Ledge or do the "North Carolina 3rd class" down-climb off the climber's right side of the ledge. Protection: light rack, hands to fingers, no anchors | 24m | |||
5.6 | ★ Good Intentions
A nice warmup for the other great South Face climbs, but not a casual route for the grade. Put thoughts like "this doesn't feel like 5.6" out of your mind and enjoy the friction climbing.
Location: Starts about 25' left of Left Up at an obvious slanting crack. Rap from rap rings at the ledge. Protection: Small to medium gear; tricams are handy. | 30m |
