    The Big Pucker (5.10d **)
    The Big Pucker is a sweet climb near the south end of the discovery wall. It uses a mixture of bolts and placed pieces for protection. The tree, which used to cause a lot of grief for climbers repelling from the top, is no longer there.

    Wet Kiss (5.9 ***)
    This is one of the most popular climbs on the wall. Plan on a lengthy wait on crowded days.

    Swallow Crack (5.6 ***)
    Swallow crack is a great place to learn traditional climbing techniques. It is an exceptionally friendly crack, accepting virtually all flavor of pieces. It has one fixed piton, one permanently placed nut, and one bolt before the 5.4 R+ run-out at the top.

    Ordeal (5.8 ***)
    Ordeal is a classic mixed climb. It's fairly short, providing one piton and one bolt under the roof. The crack over the roof requires a large cam (Camalot 3 or 4). The guano can be pretty rank on warm days.

    The Verdict (5.11b **)
    The Verdict is one of the best climbs on Discovery wall. It's a lot like P.O.D. on the Monolith, but slightly more over-hung, with somewhat more interesting moves. A No.1 Camalot is useful near the top.

    Stupendous Man (5.10a **)
    Known for its mantle, Stupendous man is a great climb near the north end of discovery wall. It's a bit run-out to the first bolt, but the approach can be protected with a cam if desired.

    Cosmos (5.11b**)
    On the North face of Discovery Wall, Cosmos is one of the most photogenic routes requiring fairly bold moves to get over the roof.
