A tremendous bulge problem located on the very left most part of the wall. Find a conspicuous right facing hand sized hueco. Pinch the lip, then fire to large blob hold. Kind of a bold problem.

Climb blackness left of a grouping of three smaller trees, right of Latrodectus.

Pushing Up Daisies climbs a very nice little bulge. Great sidepulls and pinches start things off. Work up and slightly right to a conspicuous tan hold. One good pocket leads to exposed mantling over a bad landing. Two obvious long boulders at the base.

Here I Am climbs up a beautiful little bulge left of To The Rescue.

Start at large, kinda obvious, pinkish jug. A Long move straight up to a matching sloper reveals other holds.

Climb up to two large pockets, and then a little technical top out.

To the left of Pushing Up Daisies, locate a conspicuous tan juggy looking hold protrusion, amongst the blackness. Nimble up to that hold, then find a fantastic jug not far above it. Good black diagonal rail on left to top to out.

A stellar line for the grade. Climb up to two large pockets just right of Give Me Three Coffins Brother. Move up to great dueling side pulls to top out.

A cool, tall line nestled in the trees a little ways right of The Great Gundown. Climbs cool rock to hard to read bulge.

Climbs cool side pulls up to notch in roof. Mantle out!

Locate a minuscule pine tree growing out the wall, at the lowest angle section in the center of the wall. Climb up past this little tree, and then up and left.

Climb the stunning margin of the tan and black streaks, then move a bit left at the little bulge.

Start behind the right side of the right tree. Move up and right.

Named for the large dead ponderosa that had fallen perpendicular on top of the wall.  It took me a full day with my trusty Estwing axe to reduce that sucker to the retaining wall it now is far below where it once laid.  That is a whole other story.  The result was a perfect warmup wall for the harder stuff nearby. 

  The wall hosts mostly v-easy to easy/moderate problems on perfect stone, with deep pockets, small bulges, and pretty damn good landings.  There are about 18 problems here.  A great warmup wall, with a few harder lines to be had.  Look for a tricky down climb near To The Rescue.
