Doorway Chimney

Impossible Crack

Romper

Bloody Finger

Perhaps the best offwidth at Devil's Lake.  Impossible Crack is the very obvious line on the lefthand pillar of Devil's Doorway when viewed from the East.  Start up by making a few face moves to gain the perfect (#2 Camalot) handcrack in the two-foot roof.  Surmount the roof and climb offwidth to top, using a few small face holds on the right.  Do your best not to stand on any of the ledges that are so close and beckoning...

Crack and ledge system going up the NW corner of the Doorway. Potential descent route if you didn't take a rope up.

"A fall from this knife-edged crack can be messy. This climb follows a thin crack near the northwest edge of the south pillar of the Doorway. Begin on a bench 6 ft. above the ground." (1970 Climbers and Hikers Guide)

The most easily identified formation in the Park.  There are 4-5 good routes to the top, and a massive eye-bolt at the top for your descent.
