Start on Secrets and Lies.  Get a full shake out at the anchors but continue on past thin, technical terrain to the top set of anchors.

A steadily-steepening route with a pumpy, reachy crux on less-than-totally-positive holds.

Start up a dirty, crumbling alcove to the first bolt, wondering if the edges you are stepping on in order to clip the first bolt will crumble into oblivion. Continue up and right  through three more bolts using large pockets to an enormous, deep pocket (it'll swallow most of your arm).

The fifth bolt and the crux lurk above; figure out how to get to more positive territory with initially inobvious holds and poor feet.

Through the crux, breathe a sigh of relief while trying to figure out the final moves to the anchors.

The Goss guidebook reports that continuing above the rap anchors to another set of anchors clocks in at .12d.

A long route immediately left of Arch Rival.  Slabby start to a gently overhanging crux between the 6th and 7th bolts, finishing on chains that are slightly too left for the route (doesn't matter, still a great line).

Start up a shallow trough next to some vegetation to the first bolt. Continue up lower angle, good quality rock to a mild bulge that requires a little thinking to get through.

After the bulge cruise to the top.

A thin, tricky start through less-featured, smoother limestone with small pockets and small edges leads to steeper rock and bigger holds above. Exciting, strenuous liebacking along flake edges awaits, with the final move to the chains on welcome, slightly less steep terrain.

This route is awesome!   Start by climbing up the left side of the cave.  At the 2nd bolt, head left.  (The route branching out right over the cave is Flesh and Blood, 5.13a.)  The 3rd bolt is hidden in a hueco.   Climb up through several huecos using kneebars to reach a layback flake.  Pull up and into a stance in a left facing corner (crux).   Make a few more moves to reach an overhang with a great rest.  From here, pull the overhand and continue up into an alcove.   Exit the alcove on the right using sharp holds to the chains.  When lowering, it's easiest to lower down the the hand line and just climb back up.   The easiest way back to the ground is to lower all the way down, and then belay your belayer back down to the ground.

This fun moderate climbs a low angle clean slab for ~100ft to a bulge crux before the anchor. A good lead for the moderate climber.

climbs through low angle terrain via shallow pockets to a steep head wall. Be quick while firing through this bulge or the pump will sneak up, hold on tight and dig deep, perseverance can be a wonderful thing. Catch a good rest after the crux and tip toe to the chains.

A fun, long line with several somewhat steeper sections to overcome on the way up. Pockets abound, along with positive edges. In one or two steeper locations just a bit of less-than-totally straightforward movement is required.

After the eleventh bolt, head up and right a bit through a scoop to the final three bolts and the anchors.

An exciting line up the overhanging right side of a limestone rib. Follow positive pockets and huge jugs for a couple of bolts, followed by less-obvious holds (and a couple of two finger pockets), to sidepulls and footholds a little closer to the overhang than seems comfortable.

After the fifth bolt the angle eases considerably and it's slabby, sharp-edge climbing up and left to the anchors.

Pull a few big moves down low between the huge pods on the right side of the cave. Make a tricky exit move into the grey streak above. Techy climbing on sharp rock brings you to the anchor.

Start up the great pockets of 'One Taste' but veer left.  A long, bouldery sequence on small pockets and crimps gets you to a great rest in the huge pod.  Steep climbing in the pod leads to a final boulder problem exiting the pod to gain the chains.  Tall folks will be able to reach the final jug, shorties will need to use some small intermediates and/or get a little dynamic.  Great finish!

This route is not as clean as 'One Taste' but climbs nearly as well.  Probably a touch easier given the no hands rest in the middle.

Bring some quicklinks, chain, or something to extend and fix the hilarious anchor situation that existed Nov. 2018.  I unfortunately had none of those things.

Climb Soul Train to the break where the rock turns gold and gets steeper.    Take the left line of bolts with gray hangers.   The first few holds are reinforced with epoxy.     Although it looks ugly up close, this line climbs quite nicely.   The features appear to be all natural, its just that the FA decided to reinforce them and probably for good reason.

Arch Rival

is a long and epic tear up the center region of the

Arch Wall

.

Arch Rival

starts out on a slab with pockets and finger buckets and gradually gets steeper and deeper leading you through two large huecos. Don't fall victim to the funky, off-balance moves, you'll need your head for the final dash to the chains.

Superb pockets, edges and rock on this one.

Trending slightly right, bear hug your way past the barrel in the steeper part of cave past eight bolts to anchor.

Really fun, relatively long route. Similar to Righteous Indignation but with a slightly harder crux coming in the last couple moves.

This is a high quality line!  Perfect stone, interesting sequences, and sustained.   Shared start with Vision Seeker.  Follow obvious huecos to the 5th bolt.   From here, follow the bolt line that heads straight up, next 2 bolts being the crux.  Aim for a nice pod and a shake before a nice technical face on solution pockets to the chains.

Slab to gently overhanging streaked face that offers fun, pumpy climbing on pockets

Climb the first five bolts on White Soul Power, then traverse right to finish on Flesh and Blood's anchor.
