Starts on Citadel but immediately moves left into the arete. Work your way onto the arete pinch and use the large seam to grab the jug block.

Left of Citadel. Sit start on the left side of the arete with left hand on a low hold, and right hand on the arete. Work your way onto the arete pinch and use the large seam to grab the jug block.

One of the first problems you see. Giant sloping crescent rail that runs diagonally left to right and levels out into a rippled jug line towards the top. Start on the lower horizontal portion of the crescent. Work the rail and a smaller crimp crescent to get onto the jug line and top out.

Great, easier arete problem. ~12 ft tall arete across from the Hunchback arete. Wall on the left is off. Low start on right side of arete with left hand on the arete and right hand in the left facing jug. Bump up the arete, rotate around to the front of the arete, reach up to the obvious jug, and top out with high feet or a mantle.

A highball on some of the sketchiest rock of an already sketchy area. Refer to the image on this page to see the exact line to the top. Start with left hand on a rail and right hand on a side pull. Go straight up to the flake jug, continue up and to the right for the next few moves and finish the last 5 feet straight up, topping out left of the thick flake stack lying on top of the wall.

Cool traverse. Start on Orc Empire, traverse right for 20 ft to the deep pocket sidepull at waist height. Top out to the right.

This should be the first walls you will come up on at the end of the main trail. The large swoop of the crescent sloper rail should be on the west facing wall.
