Fudgecicle Chimney climbs the chimney that cuts up the center of the wall.  In the winter this route can some times for as a ice line.  This means in the summer it may be wet after a rainy day.  Top out and rap off a tree at the top of the climb.

Fudgecicle Chimney

Swayze Express

New Era

Shoop Dog

This climb is located to the left of the obvious chimney/crack and is named after the belayer on the first ascent who was tied to a tree all day and never did get to climb.  Start in a flaring crack that improves as you  get higher.  A fixed pin protects the reachy moves through the crux.  Pull the crux and move into a corner stem the corner and climb the crack to the top.  This route is not difficult but is fun and protects well. It should be climbed more to clean it up.

Super fun route with some great moves! 

  Climb a clean crack with plenty of face holds (5.7ish) gear to 4".  As the crack disappears clip a bolt on the face and move toward the roof above.  A good cam between the 1st and 2nd bolt protects the crux.  The crux is a series of off balance moves into the roof/arete section.  Follow the bolts to the top.   

  Use the same anchor as "Shoop Dog".  Rap from ring anchors.

Start off of a ledge in a finger/hand crack above a small bush to left of "Shoop Dog".  Climb this crack until it fades out then link up with "Shoop Dog".  Descend off alders at the top of the climb.

The 19 Mile Wall is a 100+ foot cliff located as the name implies near mile 19 on the Richardson Highway.  You will see this wall on the right side of the road after crossing the Sheep Creek Bridge.  There is a very noticeable crack up the middle of the face and a parking area directly below the wall.  The 45 minute hike through the alders may not be that appealing, but the stunning views of the Books and sounding area always make for a memorable day.  If snow covers the alders, the approach is a breeze.  The routes are trad between 5.7 and 5.8 with long raps, so bring two ropes or a 70m along with webbing for alders at the top of the routes.
