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
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bucket List | V3 | ⭐⭐ | Start with both hands in the horizontal seam. Climb the arête using crimps on either side of the arête to the glory finish jug. Choosing the best foot for your height is the key to the start. |
| Face Right of Echo | V3 | - | Climb face through underlings and crimps. |
| One Lake | V3 | ⭐⭐ | The arête 10 ft left of the right arête. Sit start with left hand on the arête and right on a small sharp crimp of your choice. Climb
the arête. |
| Shindig | V3 | - | Start matched on the ledge at the base of the corner. Climb up and right using holds on the arête, then back into the corner to
top out. |
| Tip of the Iceberg | V3 | ⭐ | In the corridor opposite of Icarus. Start matched on the wide shallow pinch and climb up and slightly right to a good edge at
12 feet. Match and drop off. |
| Uncertainty Principle | V3 | - | Start left hand on high (7ft) side pull pinch on the arête, right hand on small side pull crimp to the right. Climb up to the large
sloping ledge and drop, or keep going as far as you can along the rail to the left. How far can you get? Very reachy. |
| Easy Come, Easy Go | V4 | - | Sit/squat start hanging from the sloping lip. Move up to the good shelf, then through a shallow crimp on the slab. |
| Edge of Reason | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Start with both hands in the horizontal seam and climb the face right of the arête. Sharp. |
| Jug Life | V4 | ⭐ | Sit start on the sloping rail. Figure out how to get to the enormous jug and top out above. |
| Looney 2'ns | V4 | ⭐ | 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 Mountains | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Climb the arête left of chimney and topout as Siege of Helm's Deep |
| The Dangers of Highballing | V4 | - | 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 Scoop | V4 | - | Climb straight up the slabby scoop. Holds to the left on the arête are off. |
| Helm's Deep | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on blocky quartz crystals. Climb straight up through crimps to top out above the notch on the arête. |
| Icarus | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | 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. |
