This route climbs up the center of the face and shares an anchor with Flamous (the climb to its right).

The first bolt is very high with unprotected 5.10 moves 10ft off the deck. Your options are:

-clip the first bolt of Impatience and then traverse right onto the route

-bring a bouldering pad and spotters

-just toprope the thing after leading Flamous

If you don't do any of the above the route gets an 'R' rating.

This was the first established route on the wall. Begin near the center of the wall. Climb up to the first bolt. Make an ascending traverse to the left, then climb straight up past several more bolts to the top. The crux comes around the last couple bolts as I recall.

The anchors are way up there on the low angle slab. I think you can lower off with a 70m, but I'm not positive.

I am making one route for the four routes in this section.  From right to left facing the wall it goes 5.3, 5.5, 5.5, 5.6.  Each climb has their own anchors and you just choose your poison.

Great for learning the confidence style of slab leading or just fun TR for slab beginners.

Climbs the center of the wall, beginning at red streaks in the rock along the base. Thin moves past the first couple bolts, then the difficulty eases.

Just left of "Blind Faith". Climb slick continuous moves passing 3 bolts where the difficulty eases. Continue past one more bolt to the "Blind Faith anchor.

In the center of the slab. Start off a block. Move up and slightly right past a bolt to a short flake, continue past another bolt to a third bolt at a bulge. Pull the bulge (crux) and continue past two more bolts to a two bolt anchor with rings.

Clip the first bolt, then tic-tac your toes up a edgy boulder problem to a good, slopey edge. Crux comes about six feet past the first bolt, so be careful. The rest of the routewhile easieris quite runout. A challenging line that tests your feet, fingers, and your head.

Well bolted slab. Crux is low down, with easier climbing above.

Bolted anchor

Climb straight up to the first bolt, don't get suckered into moving right onto the arching flakes. After the tricky start the climbing gets easy. You can either finish by traversing left to the anchors atop Flamous, or continue up and slightly right to reach the anchors atop Hoser.
