Giant's Marbles

The Giant’s Marbles are incredibly impressive ‐ huge boudlers with striking lines. There are 35 problems, two sport lines, and a nice crack line that takes gear well here. Bucket List, Siege of Helm’s Deep, and the sport line Skinwalker should not be missed!

Routes

    NameGrade ↓Star ratingDescription
    Helm's DeepV5⭐⭐⭐
    Sit start on blocky quartz crystals. Climb straight up through crimps to top out above the notch on the arête.
    IcarusV5⭐⭐⭐
    Start on the large jug in the corridor, 7 ft up. Figure out how to get to the top of the sloping lip above. Can be done statically or dynamically and feels like two completely different problems depending on which you choose. A sit start has also been done at the same grade, but might only be accessible for tall folk.
    OverpassV5⭐⭐
    Start right hand on high side pull, left hand on low side pull with thumb catch. Climb the face up to and over the first bolt of Windego. A sit start has also been done starting on the same left hand side pull and a low right hand crimp. Both the sit and the stand start feel about V5 if you're short. The stand start will feel easier if you're tall, but the sit start feels about V5.
    Reclined InclineV5-
    Climb Lookout Girl, but follow the lip all the way to top out the same as for Icarus.
    Easy Come, Easy GoV4-
    Sit/squat start hanging from the sloping lip. Move up to the good shelf, then through a shallow crimp on the slab.
    Edge of ReasonV4⭐⭐
    Start with both hands in the horizontal seam and climb the face right of the arête. Sharp.
    Jug LifeV4
    Sit start on the sloping rail. Figure out how to get to the enormous jug and top out above.
    Looney 2'nsV4
    Stand start hanging to the left side of the arête, matched or left hand on some non‐existent crimps. Pull on (crux). Pop up to the ledge and top out.
    Misty MountainsV4⭐⭐
    Climb the arête left of chimney and topout as Siege of Helm's Deep
    The Dangers of HighballingV4-
    Squat start left hand on the sloping rail, right hand on the right lip. Move left up to the sloping dish then press it out.
    The ScoopV4-
    Climb straight up the slabby scoop. Holds to the left on the arête are off.
