(a.k.a Hueco Route) A short and slabby ultra thin line that splits some very interesting varnished hueco features.

Looks like a crack but climbs like a face.

Creeker climbs an offset crack through slabby, crispy rock. The bottom of the route is undercut providing an awkward start.

This fun route starts off in a right facing corner, with a 000's to 00's crack reaches a pod about twenty feet up and continues on as a rattly fingers crack that makes a cool corner change. Past the corner change the crack widens into hands and climbs into some slightly loose rock, arcs right and changes corners again to end in a deep cleft.

An awkward start through an undercut in the wall gains a splitter crack which goes from fingers, gradually opening up to wide-hands and ends in a flared corner/scoop. stem and face-climb through the flare past a little runout.

A little bit of Index's lower town wall somehow got misplaced out in Canyonlands. Dark Path is basically an inch-deep chimney that is climbed with more pushing maneuvers than the normal pulling.  Delicate foot/back opposition and balance will get you past a few bolts and a bit of thin crack on A grade Wingate.  This route has some of the best rock in the area.  Clipping the anchor may be difficult...

Climbs a left facing corner to a finger crack to a ledge before turning into a brief section of fists/wide hands. Pretty good rock.
