Climb the face below a hemlock tree to a "pistol grip" hold about halfway up. Use flakes to climb up and slightly right to a small ledge. A slightly more difficult direct version can be climbed by going straight up and avoiding the ledge near the top.

Climb the nice slightly overhanging clean just to the left of "Access Crack". Also known as "Affinity Triangle".

Climb the grungy wide crack on the river side face...or better yet, don't.

Start on a left facing side pull and low right undercling.  Dyno for the jug, then make a final easy move, finishing in the horizontal below the roof.

This route is # 3a on Big Block 2 in the Brayack & Keenan guidebook.

Start at a small roof with blocky holds and climb up through a crack that takes you up and left to a crescent shaped feature. Climb from here straight to the top. A slightly harder variation goes up and right at the top of the crack.

Climb the face in between the arete climb "The End"and "Titanium Digit" while avoiding the holds on both routes.

Climb the face next to the chimney through hidden horizontals of the top.

Climb the white face about 12 feet left of "Riverside Face" to the top.

Begin by climbing the arete and then trend right onto the face and to the top following the path of least resistance.

Begin on two matching slopers.  Use a sidepull and positve crimps to reach a good horizontal.  From there, make one final move and finish in the jug below the roof.

Start just to the left of the white rock on the right arching overhang. Climb the cracks and knobby face to the top. Also known as "Grunge Festivale".

Start sitting at the obvious jug on the left side of the white face of the Big Blocks boulder 2. Move up and slightly left using body tension through either a sloping rail or a thin sharp flake to another jug. From here go right to a protruding hold and finish on the jug over the roof.

This route is #1 on Big Blocks Boulder 2 in the Brayack and Keenan falcon guidebook.

Pull a low 2 foot roof about 10 feet off of the ground and climb the face above it to the top.

Start on the obvious spike jug underneath the overhang. Move right and then left up over the bulge on jugs. Top out on the ledge, and then jump off on your pad.

Climb straight up the pocketed orange streak finishing just to the right of the pine tree at the top.

This is route #2 on Big Block 2 in the Falcon guidebook by Brayack and Keenan.

This sit starts on a low flake and accompanied by good feet. Move to an obvious, large sloper and through a second flake, perhaps utilizing a hidden hold. Make a move to a right hand jug, before moving slightly left for the final move up to the jug rail above the roof.

Follow crescent shaped holds up the face in between the "Organic Matter" flake and the "Zig Zag Wanderer" finger crack. Finish in the notch at the top just left of the roof.

Start matched on the furthest right low sloper on this face. Make a long move to a crimp find feet and make a move to the good horizontal. Finish at the seam below the roof.

This route is #5 on Big Blocks Boulder 2 in the Brayack and Keenan falcon guidebook.

Climb the very strenuous face to the left of the "Sharkfin" arete.

This is the V3 Variation of route #6 on Big Block 2 in the Falcon guidebook by Brayack and Keenan.

Instead of pulling the overhang on the jugs out left, stay on the nose of the overhang until the top out. See photo on Spike 1.0 page.

Downclimb a little and jump on your pad after the top-out.

Start below an obvious right leaning finger crack that leads you into an alcove below a roof. Once in the alcove, follow a very positive horizontal flake out and around the roof to the right. Pull the roof and climb the face just to the left of the tree to the top.

This is the easiest access to the top of Big Blocks, often soloed to set up other climbs on toprope. Climb a few moves to access the short dihedral and take it to the top. There is often webbing stuffed in the crack near the top to aid with soloing this route, use it at your own risk.

Follow the face just left of the obvious/popular crack line known as a Organic Matter (5.5).  Use none of the features on Organic Matter, try using only faceholds for hands/feet.

One of the best easy trad routes at Coopers Rock. Climb the obvious left facing flake while making use of some helpful face holds and pockets along the way. This route is a great introduction to trad climbing and it protects very well.

The hardest part of this route is the establish followed closely by the first move. Start matched on the left-facing sidepull/edge combo. After the body tension establish, make a long move to a jug and finish at the seam just below the roof.

This route is #3 on Big Blocks Boulder 2 in the Brayack and Keenan falcon guidebook.

Note: Only use the start hold specified. A variation of this route (Guerrilla Warfare) utilizes the undercling low and right.

Begins with a bouldery sequence under a small 2' overhang.  Once you pull the overhang, follow the generous ledges to the vegetation line at the top.

Climb up a black and white face using small pockets and round edges.

Climb the far right arete using some holds on the left face and the crack near the top.

This popular route climbs the center of the face following a faint white streak. You will understand the name of the climb once you reach the top of the route.
