Sit start on the shelf, as for the Sink or Swim traverse, but go straight up through a couple of pockets and a cool undercling mouth like feature to the juggy lip. Easy top out.

Sink or Swim Traverse

Sink or Swim

Sit start on the shelf just to the right of the tree against the wall. Pull on and move up and right through crimps (or a pocket) to a set of crimps at about 8', match up on these crimps then trend right towards the middle of Sink or Swim by hitting another set of crimps 3/4' to the right. From there you can reach into one of the first jugs past the shelf on Sink or Swim. Once in that climb, finish straight up the same way. 

Sit start at the base of this arete on your choice of deep incut crimps and edges on the arete. Throw on a heel hook and traverse left along the arete as the rock platform below you drops off. Make two or three moves left along the arete, moving to a nice edge as the arete starts to go vertical. Make a reach left, around the arete, to a sidepull crimp on the vetical face of the wall, get a high foot, bump right hand up the arete, and make a reach up to the good edge just before the jug topout. This was done without using the rock platform for feet; it could be done with it, but it would be considerably easier and not as cool of a climb. 

Sit start on a jug below the head height shelf. Pull on and work straight up several moves through good shelves/jugs. Bring your feet up to the shelf and continue straight up to the lip of the boulder using several deep pockets and good crimps. Plenty of foot options to get to the lip and then it is an easy mantle to finish. 

Sit start on the shelf just to the right of the tree against the wall. Pull on and traverse along the jug lip of the lower tier of the wall all the way to right arete, directly above the start of Drowning. Continue up that climb using a large edge around the right side of the arete and a left hand sidepull,, bump right hand up the arete and get yourself situated to make the last move up to the good edges below the jug topout. 

Sit start matched on a large sidepull 2/3' off the ground. Use huge feet and jugs to move to the top of the first tier of the wall. Hike your feet up and move straight up, through small crimps if needed, into a large edge at ~9'. Grab a side pull out left, hike up the right foot to the edge, bump right hand up the arete, and then make a reach up to good edges just below the jugs for the topout. 

The Sink or Swim wall is the oft looked at but rarely climbed wall that you pass when walking into Pond Cave over the stacked logs & small boulders.  The landing is sub-optimal, being somewhat underwater, but throw a few more logs down under your pads in the wetter areas and it shouldn't pose too much of a problem; though it wouldn't be a terrible idea to bring a tarp unless you know there will be no water.
