This route is often wet but fun when dry. It does not require straight in crack climbing, but it's possible for parts of the climb. Start up the dihedral and follow it for about 35 feet before trending left, then head straight up to the anchors.

Soho is an excellent bouldery route.  This route climbs 2 boulder problems (a v2 to a v4/5) split by a good rest should you choose to take it.  Reachy and powerful this route climbs flawless clean white sandstone as fine as any.

Do yourself a favor, and skip this one. 

  Still here? Ok. Start in the corner on the left end of the ledge. 4th-class climbing past jagged, sometimes chossy rock leads to a roof. Traverse right under the roof and to the top.

Roughin' Up the Suspects is an excellent, difficult route (one of the hardest at the Obed) with explosive and devious crux moves. 

  Start on a pile of rocks and climb jugs to slopey and dynamic moves below the first roof. Clip a high bolt over the roof (long draw usually in place) and execute the boulder problem crux (V7/8) to the horizontal. Climb left along the horizontal (keep your feet on if you can), and swing through the finishing jugs to the anchor. Lower off 30 ft. out from the wall.

This route ascends the very steep roof in the Solstice cave and is the next route to the right (if you are facing the cliff) around the corner from Shadow Hawk.  Climb the steep face to a crux move and then fire out the insanely steep roof to the anchors.  Bolts 1 2 and 4 do not have fixed draws.  This is is a pumpy climb with an absolutely amazing roof.  When you first start into the roof you are actually climbing back down towards the ground!  Fall off anywhere in the roof and you will have a heck of a time getting back on the route!

Follow the face to the right side of the cave. Move to the right and move around the layered roof.

a fairly easy route with no real tough spots. the crux is likely clipping the second bolt without taking a ground fall. there is a short left facing corner mid way up that could prove tricky, but is great if you ignore the gigantic triangular over chalked hold, and get your feet up. above that the route wanders for another clip or two over to some shared anchors. watch yourself as a fall from this easy terrain could be painful.

Climb a right-facing corner to an overhang. Step right and follow the crack/flake past the overhang and up to the face above. A bit of face climbing leads to bolts near the top.

If you like a direct line, perfect sandstone, and hard bouldering, you'll probably enjoy Twilight. Aside from one painful fingerlock, this route is some of the best rock the Obed has to offer. 

  Begin with some steep, pumpy climbing through weird slopers and sidepulls to a boulder problem that revolves around a pretty painful fingerlock. Dynamic moves on bad holds will get you through the next roof. Keep pulling all the way to the lip of the final roof (watch out for a loose block in the back of it) near the top of the wall. 

  It might be worth taping a few fingers for this one; the fingerlock really does bite.

This route is on the same ledge as "Dude climbs like a lady", just to its right. This ledge is often overlooked, and as such, this route doesn't see much traffic. However, if the crag is crowded, or if you're looking for just one more 5.10 to tick before the end of the day, this one is pretty okay.

Bouldery start with difficult feet. Make the crimp rail up to the right then pull the next move and you are pretty much done with the crux.

Start back in the cave and work up and to the right.

This wall has several steep lines, including the popular Solstice.
