A-maze-ing
WEST FACE DETAIL
9.) Befuddled 10c/d Hand jamming, stacking and lots of stamina will get you to the top. Short and stout, but typical Vedauwoo = tape! Big pro (incl. 2 x #3 1/2 cams). Belay and Descend using 'A' anchors directly above climb.
10.) Twisted 10b/c A twisted mind created this. Heinous hands and a couple of stacks, plus strong abs will get you up this one. Take several large cams up to #3 1/2 Belay on gear. Descent easiest from 'Uncertainty' anchors. See Fig below.
11.) Malicious 10c/d Same description as #10 Belay on gear. Same descent as #10.
12.) The Uncertainty Principle 11b/c (I'll bet Heisenberg never thought about this!) Located on a face around the corner from Route #11. Begin in the Confusion Alcove (CA), solo up the ramp using underclings and stemming (protect if necessary, 5.7), step across left onto the near vertical crystalline face. Suggest belayer moves closer to climb. This is pure Vedauwoo crystal pinching past 5 bolts to ring anchors. Belay at anchors .... OR EASIER, belay on gear using large boulder on top (2 medium cams, 1 medium nut) *NOTE: A fall from 1st or 2nd bolt is unthinkable! Descend from ring anchors at top of climb.
13.) Unpredictable *NOTE: multiple grades! Begin in Confusion Alcove (CA). An 11a thin start (protect in small crack/ seam on left with smallest cams and/or small wires) leads to some 10b/c jamming, then turn the corner, go up thru a squeeze (5.8) and ascend the 'main vein' up the 'big wing' at only 5.7 . Very unique and highly varied terrain. Belay and Descend using ring anchors at top.
14.) Absence of Maliciousness project
