Variety of interesting moves, passing through three different "zones" each with very different rock structure. 

  Up into the middle of the two roofs (5.10a), then step right.    . Variation (fun 5.8): Start up the right side of the big dihedral at the left end of the big roof, then hand-traverse Right into the opening of the middle of the two roofs. 

  Up the sharp-angled corner (shared with the "Full Sickle" route). At the top of that corner, up the right edge of the high prow (5.10a), perhaps more along its left side.   . Variation: From the top of the aharp-angled corner, easier to aim much farther left away from the right edge of the high prow, then up - (but this could result in a harmful side-swing if climber falls). 

warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.

Start up big dihedral / open book. After get somewhat above the big roof to the right, reach and step around right onto overhanging face on left edge of main wall, and up to top.

  . (Perhaps once known by name "Ubermensch").

Fun moves. Too bad it's not longer. 

  Up the dihedral to the tree on the mid-height ledge. 

  There's supposed to be a moderate line (? called "Ecce Homo"?) through the upper half of wall somewhere left of the tree, but so far we're not sure what it is. The section directly above the tree, feels like it would be at least 5.12 on painful holds.

  . . . (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).

Over the right end of the roof, then diagonal left up ramp to the arching R-facing corner sharp-angled. Up that to its top, then step up right into a wide open book / dihedral with a right-trending crack. Up the crack to the top. 

  Variation: After pulling the roof, step right and up the left side of a pillar - (less interesting climbing than the main route, though it keeps it separate from the "Will to Power" route. But what's the point of a "Sickle" route which skips the main sickle?)

Up to the small L-facing corner and through that to the obvious mid-height ledge. Right a couple of steps on the big ledge, then up the big Left-facing corner to top.

Upper section is sustained thoughtful moves. The lower section is sustained and interesting, but much less difficult. 

  Up the shallow open book to mid-cliff ledge (5.7 perhaps crux is getting off the ground). Step across ledge to below 1.5-inch sharp-angle R-facing corner/crack about six feet up. Roughly straight to the top -- without using holds within eighteen inches of the bigger Sickle corner/crack to the left. 

  A lower section with harder difficulty better matching the upper section might be the first part of Will to Power. 

  A higher section with easier difficulty better matching the lower section might be the finish corner/crack of Sickle.

  . . . (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).

Start below left, downhill from the obvious wide dihedral directly below the crack.    . (Variation: Start in the wide dihedral, but that's less fun and likely more difficult and a shorter climb). 

  Up the face trending a bit left-ward to reach the obvious mid-height ledge. Then up the vertical crack to the top (perhaps making use of another angling off its right side).

  . . (This route was once called "Poison Ivy", but it deserves better than that).

Sustained thoughtful crux sequence -- need to manage the lack of positive feet (if you like that sort of thing).  

  Up along the right side of the arete which forms the left edge of the cliff. 

warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.

Interesting moves. More quality stars if it were longer. 

  Up left then up the left side of the rib. A bit right onto top of rib, then finish up to mid-cliff ledge. 

  . (One of the smartphone apps, and one edition of the print guidebook, gave a route with this name which was supposed to go all the way to the top of the cliff at a difficulty of 5.6. Good luck finding that. Perhaps several holds broke off).

Sustained thoughtful moves, mostly not strenuous.   . (Too bad it doean's have more stemming to better exploit the dihedral,   . . but at least it doesn't have any squirming Yosemite-style.) 

  Up the open book / dihedral.

Thoughtful start, then fun moves all the way. 

  Up the broken L-facting corner (5.9 start) to the obvious mid-height ledge. Step right on the ledge, then up the arete (along its right side, 5.8) which forms the right edge of the big left-facing corner.

  . . . (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).

Thoughtful crux sequence, but too short. 

  Up the weakness to a gap about twelve feet up. (Harder start if do not stand on stone to right, but that's not the crux). Pull over through the gap onto the obvious mid-height ledge. A couple of steps right on the ledge, then up big left-facing corner (5.4) to top.

  . . . (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).

Up the arete, perhaps more on its right side, to reach the obvious mid-height ledge. Then up the arete which forms the R edge of the big left-facting corner. Finish on the face between two obvious left-facing corners (without using holds from either corner).

  . . . (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).

About 40 feet high with a variety of rock features. 

  Just a couple of minutes off main trail. 

  Main wall faces SouthWest. Or if hoping for some morning or mid-day shade, the left end faces NorthWest. 

  Top-Rope: To get access to the top of the cliff, can scramble up around the right side. 

warning: Loose rock is still a concern in this sector. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
