Although a little fresh, this route offers some fun big pulls to a tricky dihedral.

This route is on the far left side of the wall and climbs a black streak.

IMO, best route on the North gate. Fun, long pulls to a crimpy and pocketed crux through a sandy section.

This was listed as an open project in D. Knezek's new guide; however, it was likely sent by T.Baker.

This route needs more traffic, so climb with caution. Big moves through the bottom jugs to a nice shake. To pull the bulge requires some powerful pulls (look right for a pocket). Place feet carefully to avoid potentially breaking one. The top 1/3 is easier, but still tricky enough to fall off.

Bolted by:  D.Synder.

Grade: This is hard to grade due to the choss factor. It could be harder/easier as it cleans up.

This starts in corner and climbs the obvious crack.

Less than stellar. If you have done every other climb in Maple, it may be worth it.

Grade consensus varies considerably from 10d- 11d.

Listed as #7 in D. Knezeks guide and the Wolverine Guide. Unknown if there is a FA. Please post if you have info.

If you do venture on it, it is very fresh.

Some choss so climb cautiously. This route, like the wall in general, climbs more bouldery than you would expect. Longer pulls bring you to the crux using some sloping crimps. Good footwork helps.
