Interesting thoughtful start, but then it fades.  

  Start at the bottom of the arete, finish left of the Cap rock. 

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber. 

  . . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Interesting variety of sustained traversing moves. 

  Up the right-facing corner, then step left onto grassy platform which is the start of a grassy left-trending gully. Step Right onto the right-trending ramp. Traverse right-ward all the way to beyond the end of the ramp. Exit up to top of wall. 

  ? Project Lo ? Start the traverse with hands on the ramp (instead of feet). 

  ? Project Hi ? Start with feet on the ramp and traverse partway right-ward, but exit from the ramp earlier before its end, up the face to the top of the wall.

Up right a little to grab the flake, then thoughtful moves to a finish going over the right side of the Cap rock.

Interesting moves (staying away from the arete) up to the Cap rock. 

  Originally done as a boulder problem, and called "Look Ma No Rope".

Dome with a rock perched on it top.   Just west about 30 feet left from a 18-24 inch diameter mature tree (the "Giving Tree"). 

  Right side is a slab with interesting features. Three top-rope routes so far. 

  Left is an overhanging wall mostly blank except for a crack (unclimbed so far) in its middle. One (contrived) top-rope route at its left end. 

  Could set up Top-Rope anchor by scrambling up around right side, using static line off trees.
