This is a kind-of direct start to the

All Hands on Deck

.  About 8-10 feet right of the start for the traverse, there is a round right hand dish with a thumbcatch and a left hand crimp in the seam (at about head height.)  Hold on tight and paste your feet on and dyno for the lip.  Match and finish out the traverse to the nose and mantle.

Tropic of Capricorn

Start on a detached boulder with jugs on the north side of the battleship boulder.  Go straight up to the lip and traverse right along the arete to the nose and mantle over.

The start is a reach for those under six feet tall. Then it goes up crimps, sidepulls, and gastons to good holds at the top out. Many use a pad-stack for the start.

Problem on the arete and face of the east side of the boulder. Often wet in the rainy season.

To the left of

Dirty Business

, this climb gets even more raw up small crimps, gastons and side pulls. Very thin and not climbed as often as its neighbor to the right.

South/southwest side of the boulder. Standing start with a very high left foot, deadpoint to the small crimp and make a few moves on a vertical rail with crimps on it to the topout.

On the west side of the Battleship is Anchors Away. It starts on a flat rock, matching on a jug and then laybacks up into the crack. A sit start to this has been worked on, and would add another 10 feet of climbing, but it has yet to be done.

Jump Start to a decent crimp/pocket, then throw out to the overhang to a shallow crack.

Climb in on the left on thin side pulls and then traverse to the right on edges to more thin side pulls.
