Description Once reaching the wall locate a small left-facing corner feature. Ascend this past widely spaced bolts on steep rock to a bolted anchor. It should be mentioned that the crux of this climb is a bad sequence through bad holds. Considering it is the namesake of the area you'd think it would be better. There are better routes at the grade on the wall.

| Like most of the routes on the Orange Oswald wall, this namesake is over climbed and over chalked. The whole area would move up 1 or 2 stars if the impact lessened. If you are thinking about going to the lake, I would avoid this wall and focus instead on the Gun Wall or Sunrise Wall. |

| rubbish route. awkward early climbing, with a very runout 5.3ish top section. Lame. Lame... |

| Other than spraying college kids, this area and the route are pretty good. |

| This is a fun climb. Interesting crux and fun jug haul at the top. However, I have to echo the sentiment that every single line at the Orange Oswald wall is climbed to hell. The setting makes it worth it, but if these routes were not so chalky and polished, they would be much, much better climbs. |

| I almost skipped this one based on the comments here, but a fellow climber recommended it. I enjoyed route - the crux and the jug haul at the top. The slightly runout section near the top is easy climbing. |

| Chalked up a bit, but a fun climb in a beautiful area. |

| Looks like hurricane Sandy knocked out a tree above this route. It was hanging over the cliff top and easily avoided to finish the route. Its roots are still hanging so it was sturdy enough that you aren't going to knock it off at the moment, but who knows how long that will last. |

| On 11/17/2012 We removed the tree at the top of this climb so now it is good to go. |
