Begin off of a deadtree that is propped up on the starting boulder.Bouldery beginning featuring a pocketed arete to sustained 11+/12- climbing. Unlike other routes on this wall, this one has no midway fluff.

This excellent line starts with a couple of tough moves that lead to a stance. Head up the beautiful face with a variety of holds and a couple wide compression moves.

"I saw it! It was big, it was all wiggly, and it ate EVERYTHING!" 

 If only the Alaskan Bull Worm hadn't taken a bite out of this route, it would have been a fantastic 5.8. Instead, it's a few bolts of good 5.7 climbing to a strange stance and powerful boulder problem off of a ledge. Immediately afterwards the route goes back to 5.Easy until the top. That being said, the boulder problem is unique and fun, and the climbing to the top sports some of the coolest cobbles and chicken heads at Rock Creek. Not an area classic, but fun nonetheless.

Cool refrigerator block crux (with cool knee bar) followed by easier climbing. Dont blow the clip above the ledge. Great warm up.

Start in a shallow dihedral and move up on some cool slightly sloping blocky holds. Head left up the varied face to meet up with a steeper section at the top that contains large holds.

Route is a link-up of Shere Khan through the crux and then traverse left and finish on the ending of Early Morning Shakes. This route allows more people to warmup on the left side of the Spivey Wall by providing an alternate ending instead of finishing on the CLJ anchors. 

Rarely climbed this route packs a punch and climbs some impressive features but it suffers from virtually no traffic and some rough rope drag. Hard to clean the intro first roof bolts.

Starts left of and shares anchors with Chicken Leg Joe. Technical face climbing leads to a cryptic crux and finishes with steep ledge pulling.This route was originally graded ~5.11b/c but an important hold in the middle of the crux broke (circa. 2015) and the route got ~1 letter grade harder. 

Fun face climbing with a tricky move into a left facing corner leads to the base of a roof. Pull the crux and fight the pump through the overhung section on good holds to the anchor.

This route is an adventure. Start with lower starting crux of Blurred Lines, traverse left to a shake then enter into the 5.12 face crux to another good rest. Either traverse out and right like the first ascensionist or figure out the dyno beta to skip all the moves. Pull a burley compression crux immediately into a powerful roof sequence and roll over the lip. 

Really good face climb around the corner right of the main Spivey Wall. Thin and techy with a powerful move mixed in the middle. 

King Line on the Spivey Wall. Like it's neighbor this route is a wild adventure. It has been rebolted in places to allow easier working of the crux and cleaning of the black water streak going to the anchors. Start left of a dihedral on an arete/prow and immediately crux off the ground to good handjam stem shake. Clip a draw out the roof and then enter the wild shouldery crux and pull to a good rest. Then climb the awesome 12- steep overhang on big moves between good holds. 

This wall is home to at least one excellent line at each of the 5.10, 5.11, and 5.12 grades. There are several excellent warmups for the harder climbs in the area.
