Brushy, run out, loose, anemic ledge.  The only reason to do this is to access the cave.  Mostly 5.0 with perhaps a move of 5.7.

Tricky and continuous  a bit sharp and steeper than it looks.

Paw your way up a flake of sorts, clip the first bolt and mantle up onto it. Bust out some tricky pulling down, sideways and up on good rock the rest of the way to the anchor. I had a hard time identifying any one particular crux.

The longest, cleanest route at the area. Start up in the small corner up the smooth, water polished face to the high first bolt. I presume one could go straight up the face avoiding the corner but it would be much more difficult and unprotected. A few more thin moves take you up past a couple more bolts and then into positive, fun climbing up to the roof.  Pull the roof using big holds and climb past a couple more bolts to an anchor. Lower from here if your rope is 60m or less and you want to TR.  Otherwise count your draws and make sure you have at least 6 more and keep going for more fun climbing with a short, thin crux just before the higher set of anchors.  

Good, cruiser climbing up for about 30 feet to where the wall steepens.  The closely spaced bolts protect this steeper section perhaps because it's a crux or perhaps because the rock the bolts are set in isn't the greatest quality.    Gain a big horizontal crack and pull up onto the upper face of better rock. Fun, airy climbing above to the anchor.

Scramble up on top of the boulder to the right of most routes at roadside and begin following the obvious line of darker bolts on the face. Pull the roof with a fixed permadraw, then continue on small holds to the anchors.

Fun extension of Middle of the Road, continue up past the first set of anchors to some sidepulls and crimps to the second set of anchors at the top of the wall

A nice granite crag with a car bumper belay. Roadside Distraction crag faces south and is shady and cold from December to early February, but is sunny the rest of the year.
