The West Slabs saw some development of bolted routes in the early 90s. Several quite old trad lines exist that must date back 30 years or so. Nearly everything on the West Slab can be done with a single 60 m rope. However, not all routes have bolted anchors, so choose you lines carefully. Numbering used here begins on the left side of the crag with an old Kurt Smith route (1) and ends with a new Kurt Smith route (7), at least so far.
Getting There
Park near the tailings field at the base of The Silver Plume mine. Hike West about 150 ft, crossing a dry stream bed. Just after the dry stream bed, a trail through the tailings pile zig-zags up to the obvious South facing crag.
