Start by the dead tree near the top of the Upper Chamber Wall (this is the last bolted route on the face). Climb jugs past three bolts before committing to the blunt, lichen-coated prow above. This route has excellent, technical-climbing on suprisingly big holds. Fun fun fun. A bit harder than Small Fry in my opinion.

This route is an recent addition to the Palace (~2 years old), so there may still be some loose rock.  It makes up for its lack of rock quality with length.  The route is about 98 feet long, so be careful lowering your partner.

Follow 13-14 bolts on continuous 5.10 climbing to a 5.11ish crux at 2/3rd's height.

The hard to decipher crux comes low at the third bolt. The climbing eases but stays interesting and difficult for almost the entire length of the climb. It is well-bolted.

This is a short, moderate, sport climb. Grade for pumpiness.

Plentiful edges for hands and feet lead past 4 bolts to a reachy and balancy 5th clip. Continue up through roof on good holds to clip last bolt and chains.

Start with a big move right at the get go. Follow more small holds, on the deceptively steep, green rock, to a sneaky reach crux move about half way up. Continue on steep rock with big holds to the anchors. Take advantage of the BIG no hands rest just before the end of this continuous route.

This route starts off with a bang.  The first few clips through thin face climbing is the crux.  After reaching the small ledge, continue on hard 5.10 climbing up and left to the anchors.

Beware of some loose blocks.  When I did this route, I almost pulled off a 30 pounder off on the small ledge above the crux.

Begin on streaked arete about 15 yards uphill from previous route. Climb the loose broken face right of the shallow depression.

I have a love hate relationship with this route. On one hand, it has some fantastic moves and great holds. But these areas of bliss are interrupted by broken and dirty rock. This route also checks in at one of the longest on the Chamber Wall, which definitely makes a difference as you work to crux sequence at the very end. The majority of the route is vertical until the end when it steepens for the last 15 ft or so. If this route cleans up more, it could get another star.

Thin is the name of the game on this balancy route. Start on some big holds that are fairly reachy then move to the thin stuff.

The crux comes about in the middle off of teeny tiny crimps to a balancy slopping side pull/undercling. Then to more reasonably small crimps.

Did I mention the food work? Bring that too. Good feet are few and far between. Tricky and fun route.

'Churchill Rejects' ascends a narrow, flat face repleat with a variety of features.  It is fun and recreational at the grade.

This is another fun 5.10 on this shady wall.  This endurance route angles left to a couple of crack systems.  The crux is finding the easiest way to the leftmost crack.  A variety of jams, liebacks, and face moves make the this long route worthwhile.

' in the Upper Chamber. The crux comes at the 3rd bolt. Good stone and fun moves for the first 2/3 of the route leads to a chossy finish. It may feel a bit sporty at times.

A 60 meter rope is mandatory. Helmets are recommended.

This looks like a promising route but alas suffers from Poudre choss syndrome. It is fairly balancy (what?) with some fun reaches. Near about halfway, the route seems to push you off left into the choss with scary holds. If one could stay on the solid rock, the route would be much better.

This route is touted as having no moves harder than 5.9, but that might be a little bit of a stretch.  This route follows continuously thin climbing on a somewhat slabby wall to the left of the

.  A very pumpy route....

".  This pumpy addition has no real crux, but has continuous climbing at the 5.10+ to 5.11- range for 4-5 clips.

This is a good route with every kind of hold imaginable (crimps, slopers, jugs, side pulls, underclings). Good rock and variety make this tricky and sustained route. Overall, however, it seemed a bit contrived.
