Featured Route For Central Wall
Russ at the little roof, most likely the crux.

Window Pain 5.10  TX : Hueco Tanks : ... : Central Wall
The line follows clean and well featured rock with the bolt line easily seen from the ground. 3 or 4 bolts and 35' up you will encounter a roof where there is a bolt hidden above. Continue on steep rock up and right to 2 bolt anchor & rappel. More tightly bolted than neighboring routes it provides some welcomed comfort as the rock is steep and sustained. Excellent climbing and a must do for any Hueco Tanks visit. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in TX

North Mountain is one of the greatest climbing areas in the country for the 5.9/10b climber. The 11s look great too but I can't say first hand. Leaders should be solid at trad since bolt routes are sporty not sport climbs. I have climber over 60 days on North Mountain and loved them all. There is not really a bad climb on the wall. Now that park has restrictions its a ghost town. Most climbers boulder so you can have North Mountain to yourself. Window Pain, Sea of Holes and Indescent Exposure all rate an honest Mega-classic rating.
