Season:	Year-Round	Difficulty:	Intermediate

Overview

The Leap of Faith Wall has three sport climbs on it. The wall is named after the middle route which has an interesting friction move at the top.

How to get there

Just past the Painted Wall on your left, the land opens up a bit and there's a left hand turn. You will be sorely tempted every time to take this. However, it's not this opening in the rocks you want. It's the next one. Take the next left and drive up almost to the base of Leap of Faith wall. The Slab Wall will be on your right and Quinessential Pinnacle is to you left (just out of sight over a rise). Leap of Faith wall is also known as the Water Streak area.

Corrections / New Routes

(2) Unknown (5.9) Sport - On left side of Leap of Faith is a sport route with four bolts to two anchors. Fade right as you go up but stay out of the diagonal chimney.

(3) Water Streak (5.11D) Sport - Woo Woo, a 5.11D slab route! The crux is way harder than it looks.

(4) Leap of Faith (5.9) Sport - Nice climb up the main face. The crux is near the top with a well protected friction move to get above the lip. Place that right foot and trust it. 4 bolts.

(5) Unknown (5.11a) Sport - Interesting move off the ground followed by delicate balance moves up the left crystal seam finished off by a the classic Hartmans rounded friction top-out. 5 bolts and two top anchors.
