If you do the direct start (recommended), this is the powerful crux.  Follow the thin crack to reach the small overhang and traverse 5 Ft to the left to gain the crack on Can I Do It...  Follow the crack until it ends and then continue up the white face heading slightly left over thin horizontal seams to the top.  This upper face is the technical crux, thin.  A great route!  If you do the direct start, it's 11a to start, then 10c, then more 11a.

Follow the finger crack(crux) until it ends.  Traverse right to a right facing corner to the top(this corner is beautiful!).  An optional belay may be setup at the start of the upper corner, but with a few long slings, there is no need to break the flow on this excellent route.  The upper corner has awesome position on the face.  The belayer will not be able to see the leader on the upper corner if done in 1 pitch.

The crux of this climb starts down low.  The opening 15 ft are pretty sustained moves over small crimps.  Once you reach the 3rd bolt, the difficulty backs off quite a bit and affords some really enjoyable face climbing over positive holds.  There's one last move trying to reach the shuts that will likely get your attention.  Route may be a bit dirty if climbing after a rain.  Definitely worth doing!

Start below a flake in a shallow corner.  Bouldery moves for the first 15 Ft (crux).  Cruise up the crack and corner to a face with many horizontals leading to the shuts.  This climb significantly eases up after the opening moves.  Nice view at the top!  A pretty light 5.11a.

This route may be overlooked much too often!  The dihedral below the overhang protects very well, much better than it appears from the ground.  Start by climbing up a green face directly under the dihedral, climb up and right to reach the base of the dihedral.  You can get gear here about 15 ft up.  Once you reach the dihedral, stem your way up it to reach the overhang.  Pull the overhang and use finger locks and small face holds to gain a stance below a short section of hand crack (crux).  From here, continue straight up the face on jugs and clean rock to reach the shuts.

Route begins with some normal dirty entry slab.  It appears not to get much traffic at this time or gets easily washed clean.

Get yourself established in the bottom of the dihedral, and then get up the layback feature to the middle of the head wall.

(For me, possible "new" crux Above the 5th bolt, it looks like a functional jug hold broke off exposing orange rock scar, move is still very much possible with a 1 pad 3 finger crimp, to the left of it. I think move is harder and more powerful now.)

Get yourself established in the horizontal finger slot and make some awesome dynamic "dunkslap" move to the top of the crack.

It was listed before as 5.12b. I am just leaving it as 5.12.

Begin a couple of feet right of Carcus Tunnel Syndrome and climb the right facing corner, follow the bolts until the end of the overhanging flake, orginal 12a version goes straight, however, the most climbed path on this route acutally traverses right under the crux and then up and back left to go at 11b.

This is one of the New River superclassic crack climbs. The wall just right of the arete with the bolted 'Gift of Grace' is cut by a thin seam covered with chalk marks. The climb starts with a scary and strenuous to protect crack leading to a ledge on the right. From the ledge follow a slightly overhanging crack (5.10) to its top. Step left to a ledge with a good rest. Veer left and up using a thin seam with single finger pockets (crux). Climb the seam to the large horizontal crack below the roof. From here either traverse to the anchors on  'Gift of Grace' and lower, or continue to the top in a shallow corner with small gear, which will up the grade to a solid 5.11+.

Perhaps too popular. It is one of the only places on Endless Wall that might(on a busy day) have a line.

Originally a 5.10d R trad line, it was bolted by accident due to poor communication, however, the FA-ers agree to just let this classic line stay bolted.

Start from the leaning block atop the giant boulder, climb the cool face straight up to anchors.

Scramble to the sweet belay ledge 15 higher than the surrounding ground(easy).

Climb the thin flake that proves to not take any gear(way to wide) up this oft solo-ed line. If you like you can traverse into Strike A Scowl(5.10b) and clip its bolts, but then why not just lead Strike A Scowl and TR this climb(as most do).

This climb is an awesome way to finish a great day. 1st lead Strike a Scowl, set a TR then lower and clean Strike A Scowl. Climb out with your partner off Strike A Scowl's anchors and top it out. Gear Anchor or Tree Anchor available for 1st to belay up second.

This is one of those routes you must do if you are in the area.  Climb the crack, trending left and then up to the top.  The route gets a little harder with each move, but all well within the bounds of 5.10b.  It can get a little dirty toward the top if climbing after a long period of heavy rain.

Climb the wide hands crack for about 20 Ft to gain a stance (crux).  Continue up to an offwidth section with some face holds.  Once through the wide portion, trend left and up face passing several horizontal cracks and lots of holds.  Top out or finish on the anchors of Raging Waters.

This is a nice, often overlooked, route in this area.   Stick clip the first bolt.   Climb up passing the first bolt to reach a shallow, short, right facing dihedral.   Make a few stemming moves and continue up the face and mantle up on to a large stance in the middle of the route.   Clip the bolt above the ledge and head straight up the bulge on a few crimps to reach a slot from which to clip the bolt at the lip of the bulge (crux).  High step and rock up to gain a stance.  The climbing eases up to the finish.

This is a nice variation to Remission.  Climb the first 15 Ft. of Remission and then continue directly up the face.  There are amazing holds on this climb and you can use the many horizontals to place gear.  The top gets a bit dirty like Remission.

This wall is not as aesthetically pleasing as some of the other nearby walls, but it offers some unique climbing.  Begin with some interesting 5.11 face climbing for the first four or five bolts.

The crux begins when you pass through the large diagonal flake that separates the wall.  The rock kicks back a little bit and hanging/clipping the next three draws can be very difficult (skipping a draw here could be the way to go).  Claw your way up tiny holds, utilizing two left hand crimps with nice thumb catches.  The final moves of the sequence will be much harder if you're shorter, but still achievable.  The crux is short lived and soon you'll be strolling through easier slopey climbing.

This route is located on the corner of Diamond Point that receives afternoon sun light.  The route can feel a bit dank and slippery if you get on it in the morning.  Its best to let it dry off before attempting it.

The difficulty begins right off the deck, but eases off considerably after the inital fixed gear. Commit to a difficult rising traverse past three old bolts. Then, easier gear-protected face climbing brings you to two more bolts at about 70 feet. Continue up, finishing at a notch below a small pine tree.

The rock on this climb is pretty good, and the upper face climbing is fun and interesting. The rising traverse feels pretty stout for the grade.

The fixed gear is old and cannot be backed up, but all other placements are solid and frequent.

The Gift of Grace is sure to get your heart thumping at 180 beats per minute.  It is a major challenge to keep your cool while navigating through tenuous cruxes, tiptoeing on miniscule fragile feet and risking some rather scary falls.  The climbing is slightly easier than other routes of similar grade on the Endless Wall, but it requires greater focus.  Be prepared for some complex arete climbing.

Various cruxes are encountered on this route, the first of which comes right after the first bolt.  Immediately after the first bolt traverse confidently left to the arete.  Balance your way up to a tenuous facey crux between the third and fourth bolt.  Gather your composure and then blitz the remaining arete which includes some insecure liebacking on micro fins.

Climb the arete all the way to the top and mantel out the ledge before reaching below you to clip the anchor.  Don't forget to check out one of the most outstanding views of the gorge from the ledge.

Start in wide pod to reach a finger crack to an overhang.  Pull the overhang and gain a stance.  Place some gear and do a 10-15 ft. traverse to the right to gain the base of another crack system (good hands, poor feet).  Follow the crack system up to the top.  There are some sections of great finger crack climbing with some challenging moves.  The rock at the very top is a little fractured, use caution.  The last 20 ft does not protect as well as the rest of the route, but it's adequate and you are on great holds at this point.  Great climbing, this route could benefit from more traffic as there are some flaky sections.

The crux is above the dihedral after the "Gift of Grace" chains. The true crux is down low, with nothing on the extension harder than 5.11a/b.
