A fun, if short, route up the east face of Jimmy Cliff. An awkward start onto a ramp leads quickly to the crux moves pulling around into and up an off-fingers crack. Delicate liebacking with careful balance will see you through two or three tricky moves to easier terrain above. Protection is easy to place before starting the hard moves, but you may be above your gear before you can get another piece in.

Fun route, it would get another star if it were longer (and closer to the road).

There are few (if any) hand jams to be had.

Start up the prominent dike system immediately left of Friendly Hands, and then cut right up the face that leads directly to bolt anchors atop Friendly Hands. One star out of five.

This is the obvious left-slanting dike left of

, with a low crux and runout but easier climbing above. One star out of five.

This intermittent thin crack in a sort of right facing flake system takes the line immediately to the right of

Friendly Hands

, passing a single bolt (old, not confidence inspiring) in the vicinity of the crux. While the old bolt on this route has been replaced, it is still a heads-up lead. The Vogel guide gives this 5.10b, consensus will likely settle a bit higher. Although short, the climbing is fairly continuous with a very distinct crux.

and follows a crack up to a roof, where one makes the crux moves out and right under a roof.  From here lieback around the corner of the roof and up easy climbing on very good rock.  The protection down below is somewhat shaky, but the crux moves pro'd with small cams under the roof itself are bomber.  Long runners there.

loose rock, but with some nice moves on steep rock

A very well protected steep face.  This is a good place to climb on a hot day.

Begin just right of The Brontos or Us and climb the left of two flakes, then face climb up and right, merging with The Dike at it's upper section.

Start 10 feet left of The Brontos or Us and climb a crack that peters out into face climbing, joining The Brontos or Us at it's last  (3rd) bolt.
