(AKA:

Little Boy

) This fun line heads up from the top terrace and is the third leftmost bolt line on the wall.  Climb up to the high first bolt pulling down on small pockets and large flakes.  Continue through pulling on small pockets until the crux about 2/3rds of the way up.

The Natural

Duck and Cover

Hiroshima

Unnamed

Nagasaki

Fatman

The middle route on the top terrace, Fatman pulls through continuous pockets to reach its chain anchor. More of an endurance fest than its neighbor, The Natural, I find Fatman to be a better climb. Watch out for the shithole (literally a large hueco/pocket filled with droppings) and the water-filled pockets at 2/3rd height.

Climb the low-angle face to a high first bolt to the far right of the slab. Continue up steeper rock on pockets, eventually moving slightly left to pull the lip.

Variation on both Nagasaki and Duck and Cover. Squeeze job in between the two that heads straight up from the first bolt of Nagasaki on good jugs avoiding the slab traverse of Nag but adding steep moves on great holds. Feels maybe even a little easier due to the intuitive climbing and large holds, but receives a .10a grade in the guidebook.

Double points for a dyno to the obvious huge jug at the overhang.

Very contrived but fun and worth a lap if you are posting up at the Frat Boy Wall (though please don't). Ends on the same slab as both of its neighboring routes and shares holds for most of its upper third with Duck and Cover to the right, otherwise I'd give it more stars.

Climb up the easy slab to the left of Fatman, choosing to clip the first clip of Fatman if necessary (extend this) to a bulge. Pull the obvious bulge on less than ideal holds (crux) with good protection to a good stance. Staying further right than expected during this sequence will make it feel better. Continue up a steep face making large but fun moves between good holds to a small dihedral/ groove feature at the top.

Take care to avoid the large pocket out right filled with rat poop.

Probably the most often climbed route in the pass, Nagasaki climbs up just right of the middle of this wall under a large imposing looking overhanging feature. Climb past 5 bolts that trend left until you hit the overhang and then trend right and clip one more bolt on the slab above until you hit the mussy-hooks anchor.
