On the west face, start 15 feet right of the arete. Climb up the steep face on small holds to a two bolt anchor on a ledge.

Start just right of the arete on the west face. Make a hard move left past the first bolt. Several hard moves get you to a dish and bad holds. Crank the crux moves and power up and left to the arete. Follow the bolts to the anchor.

This is presently the dirtiest route on the rock but would clean up nicely if it were really brushed down. I an not sure that climbing alone will do it, as climbers of different heights would want to flag/smear in different places and the wall is presently quite covered in dusty lichen.

Start up on hard moves (high foot) to pass a bulge on sidepulls and do more of the same to struggle to the top. Sidepulls, body English, slopers and opposition eventually land you up and left to a 2-bolt anchor with chains.

Please take a brush and clean this thing on the way down when you lower - it will add to the potential for enjoyment for all future parties.

Climb the right side of the slab on the north side of the rock, just left of the arete.

We did this a couple days ago.  It is just another way to warm up before getting burned on the adjacent routes.

Overhanging jugs lead to crack that goes almost to the top.  Then move left and clip the last bolt on

The start is the same as Early Bird Special. Climb up to the first bolt on Early Bird Special then move right to the second bolt. Fire straight up on fairly good holds to the crux around the fourth bolt. Power past the fifth bolt and reach a two-bolt anchor. Good route and wonderful face climbing. Should clean up with more ascents.
