Start on a broken column moving up and left onto smooth, technical face climbing up near vertical rock.  Shake out and the route changes pace for a fun, overhanging, jug haul swinging up and left to anchor.

North Slope

This is a great, long and pumpy climb on the left side of the cliff. Start on lose steep ground to gain amazing, bullet proof rock.  Continue through a roof 40' up, and work a crux ledge above this.  Finish this pumpy, sustained climb up steep, sloping holds up to the anchor.

This is the far right route that starts uphill from the last bolt start.  It moves left and up on slopey holds and bulges then works up face moves into a dihedral.  Pull onto a small platform under a roof to achieve the chain anchor.

This is another amazing climb once you get through the cubic's cube of bolts at the bottom. 

  Climb the middle line of stainless moving left under a triangular roof and up the face on funky  moves.  Climb up the face to arrive at the second crux, pulling yourself onto a small ledge to achieve the upper arete turned dihedral.  Follow this to the party ledge.

Climb the right-most line with many bolts, and try to pull the crux move up and over a slopey, technical bulge.  Well-protected, yet oh-so-difficult moves bring you to fun arete and face climbing back up to a anchor on the left side of the party ledge.

Route #6 on the cliff starts up a slightly overhung face with large moves to smooth holds.  Pull onto face and continue up to a left-leaning arete.  This continues on and on to the anchor.  A longer rope may be able to lower to the ground or have a second collect the gear and rappel down to one of the many lower anchors on the wall.

This is a spectacular route with an upper open book that is a must do for fun and unusual moves rarely found in Alaska.  The bottom may be a bit confusing due to the millions of bolts, so I'll try and get you on the right path. 

  Start on rock bulge clipping and moving left onto the face.  Then continue up into the main dihedral (crux), and follow this up and left  till you arrive at the party ledge.  Pull yourself up onto this large platform, and clip the anchor.

Route #6 starts up vertical face next to the concave feacher.  Climb 20', then cut right under the overhang and onto less than vertical upper half to the bird anchor.

This route starts on a vertical face before moving left up a overhanging arete.  Long, powerful moves pull the roof onto more technical arete face climbing.  Things lighten up as the route works up and left over the top of North Slope. It shares the last bolt and anchor of Yippie.  This route traverses left a great deal, and it is best to have a second collect the draws on route. 

This 5th route on the cliff climbs straight up a concave fetcher and past a bulge with white streaks across dark rock. It has less than vertical terrain to an anchor above a ledge.  One spring, there was a small nest in the bush at the belay.  The bird dose not seem to mind climber unless their name is Pat (the bird whisperer).

This short and technical route was the first climb to be developed on the wall.  It follows a broken crack with old pitons onto technical face moves.

This is a spectacular crag located near Worthingon Glacier on Thompson Pass.  The gorgeous approach and stunning scenery is only a foreshadowing of great things to come.  This wall is a incredible place to get strong with 11 routes generally being long, steep, and difficult.  The rock quality is spectacular.  The cliff was developed to pack as much fun as possible into one wall. Some routes are located close together at the base but they all end up weaving there way into a great line of there own higher on the wall with aretes, corners, slopes, jugs, roof, and slabs.  Everything one could want in a day of single pitch, sport adventure in a pristine wilderness setting.   Note, don't try and climb anything to the right of the crag.  The bolts stop where the good rock stops.  I have seen a house sized block break off the face beyond the climbs and role to a stop near the start of Five Star Everything.  It was the coolest thing I have ever seen while belaying and one hell of a reminder that we are still in Alasla.  This crag is a diamond in the rough.
