Exit Wound ascends the wall below the balanced rock, crests the ridgeline on the right hand side then moves around to the opposite side and scends to the summit. Rappel the route down the east face.

A topo of all Maple Canyon multi-pitch climbs and their descriptions

This photo shows Dryfire (left), Slamfire (middle) and Phantom Fury (right)

Slamfire is drawn in Red, Phantom Fury in Green. The crux is just above the first belay station. Pitch three is one of the finest pitches I have ever climbed. It is an ocean of jugs with a short vertical crux section (with good holds!). The exposure is exhilirating and the protection is really good.
