This line starts at the top of Corruption P1 and heads up and right past 5 bolts.

The guidebook states this is 10a but my partner and I thought that it was around 11a.

P1: Clip bolt and work up and right into finger/hand crack and up to anchors at ledge (65').

P2: Follow hand crack up and left for short fun pitch (50')

Thin jamming leads to hands and rap anchor

Currently the left-most route at the underworld. It starts right at the entrance to a tiny alcove and finishes at two bolts at the top of the crack. A great warm-up for this wall considering the lack of easier routes. Most moves on ledges and fist jams with great protection.

Ascend a stepped corner via stemming and finger locks with small to medium pro. Roughly halfway up you'll encounter the first bolt on the left wall below the roof. Move left and clip 3 more bolts around the roof. You can finish up and left clipping a couple more bristlers before the anchor or you can fade right and finish at the anchor of Cmobog to finish.

Start on a little basalt pedestal into a wide fingers crack with some stemming. After this point mostly thin hands with some layback moves bring you up to the anchors. Anchors are rap bolts.

Same start as Extortion, but head straight up finger and hand cracks to same shared anchor.

Start on a pedestal. Jam sweet corner crack to overhanging bulge at top.  One of the better routes at the underworld

Beautiful splitter crack, starts small and widens to fists.  It's bigger than it looks at the top.

Pumpy climbing through the bottom to the finger/hand crack above. This route is excellent!

Stem your way up the corner passing a bolt and then more gear until you are below 5 bolts in a row. The technical crux is halfway up involving some corner skills and finishes with some brilliant face climbing to the anchor.

Short route that always feels a little harder than it looks. Easy to get to and catches evening sun.

Starts to the right of the base of a 7ft pedestal. Follow the seam up (crux) until you top a small bulge (PG13/R). Transition right and follow the obvious holds up until you reach a small roof. You cut back left immediately under the small roof and then follow the crack up to the bolts with quicklinks and non-locking biners. You can climb the small cracks/corner that is to the left of the route to gain the chains for a top rope session - this goes at something like 5.8/5.9 and requires a small transition right to meet up with the very end of Cottonmouth.

Intensive Route Beta:

Gaining the pedestal is easy, and there is a good small nut placement to reach up and place here as your first piece. Make a couple straightforward moves up to a left hand jug. From here you can place two small cams (think blue/green alien or 0 BD C3) in the crack. These protect the crux/following moves and are vital. Crux can be done with a left handed mantle and deadpoint slap to the crimp above, or by lie-backing the seam by leaning off right. Stick the crux and pull up onto the small bulge above. These couple moves can get a bit heady as there is good ground fall potential here. Once on the bulge you can place a small finger sized piece in a horizontal pocket. From here transition right to good holds. Follow this up while placing easy gear until you get to the small roof. Climb left and hit the massive two-handed jug immediately under the roof with a bomber horizontal 0.5 placement. Continue left for a few feet and shoot up the small crack to the bolts.

Start in the corner, clip a bolt, and then make some tenuous moves up the corner to the next bolt. From there climb the crack to the ledge.

Falling after the first bolt and prior to your first cam placement could be bad, heads up.

The middle line from the bolts on top of the block.  Follows the crack in the small corner to a large overhanging block that you follow the crack around to get to the bolted anchor.  You can either belay from the ground or from the bolts on the block that starts the route. A 60m makes it to the anchors and back from the ground. As of this writing the anchor is two bolts with fixed slings+biners.

far to the left in white rock, nice, but sharp finger crack. Harder than it looks. There is a now an extension that goes at 11+ or so
