10 minsThe scrappy looking area between Padme and Gabriel and the Pearly Gates is actually worth a second look. There are a few worthwhile easier routes on this section. The Pearly Gates Area itself has a couple of well-climbed routes and plenty of polished holds too. Guidebook page 51.

Gabriel and the Pearly Gates Top 50 A fine combination of two old routes gives a near-classic.1) 4c, 18m. Climb the open-book corner to a ledge (peg). Awkward... 12 user comments | 3 Stars | VS 4c |

Solitaire The right wall of the corner has some fluttery moments, with poor gear. High in the grade. 5 user comments | 1 Stars Rounded Fluttery | E1 5b |

St. Peter The arete is usually approached from its right-hand side and is tricky at the roof. It can also be started from Solitaire. 8 user comments | 1 Stars Technical | E1 5c |
4 |
St. Paul The bold wall just to the right is an eliminate. 1 user comment | Fluttery | E3 5c |

Parachute Skate and slither up the corner to experience one of the most polished routes at Stoney. 3 user comments | 1 Stars Rounded | VS 4b |
6 |
Roman Candle The right side of the wall and left side of the upper arete. | Fluttery | VS 4c |

Au Gratin The grooved right-hand arete has a tricky mantel early, another near the top and not much gear. | Rounded Fluttery | HS 4a |
