Fun face route that really starts at the ledge above the corner.  Golden edges and smears on a beautiful slab.  It is possible to vary the grade up or down a little by climbing more left or more right of the bolts.

From the toe of the left face of the Upper Tier climb up an easy slab over a small lip, cross another slab to another lip (1st bolt), then head up toward a gap between two bushes (5.5; 2nd bolt).  Continue past the ledge and up a shallow corner/arete past 2 more bolts, making the final, exposed traverse to the midway anchor on a shallow, improbable ramp.

This route is easy, but a bit runout and not a good choice for the beginning leader.

Classic slab and face climbing on excellent rock with nice edges and smears.

Start just below a big bush, just left of Uptown Funk. Climb the easy slab to a bolt, then head across a slab up and right to where the wall steepens a bit and the second bolt (5.7). Climb up past 3 more bolts to a large triangular flake (not quite sure what keeps that in place, but I've climbed over it. YMMV!) Pass the flake and continue up the face past 3 more bolts to the prominent diagonal roof/lip/corner. Follow the corner up and left to a bush. Surmount the roof there (huge holds) and climb past thin cracks to a short face. Climb that face (5.7, awesome edges, easier if taller) past one more bolt to the anchor (rap rings). 2 raps with a single 70m rope (knot ends!) or walk off to climber's right (sht. section of 3rd class).

Note: it is possible to break this climb into two pitches by putting in an intermediate stop at the mid-way anchor at the triangular flake.

Start up the corner of Sinners and Saints for 10' then head slightly right and up for a couple of easy moves.  Continue up the slightly overhanging face on side pulls, pumpy incuts, and rails past three closely spaced bolts, mantle (or beached whale) onto a slab, and continue up (slightly left) at another short steep section (4th and 5th bolt).  There is a hidden bucket just above the 5th bolt if one reaches over the edge far enough.  Follow the easy slab past two more bolts to the anchors.

From the midway anchor climb up and left to a bolt.  From there it is possible to follow the bolts on the face along golden edges and smears or to head a little more left and follow a shallow corner until it runs out and the variations rejoin.  The route stays out of the diagonal corner on top (which becomes very tempting), but crosses the small roof and joins 'Downtown Man' for the remaining short slab and bolt.

Move up to the first bolt, then head out left to the arete/edge.  Follow the easy arete as closely as possible until getting to a rather blank spot (5.8+, feels a bit awkward) around the 6th bolt.  Continue up past the 7th bolt to cracks and a flake.  Finish at the mussy anchor.

Climb the left facing dihedral via the corner crack, the flaring crack immediately to the left and the face holds in between.  The crux (5.6) is when the corner crack and flaring crack diverge a bit more.  On the last section before the anchor it is possible to stay in the corner (really sm. nuts/lowe balls; look for a solid rail higher up to the right) or finish via the flake on the left (easy 5th).

Awesome slab climbing on pristine rock.  Move up to the first bolt, then head slightly right up the short, flaring crack/groove.  Move slightly left again, but still stay to the right of the bolts.  Continue up on fun edges and smears.  Crux is around 6th bolt. Continue up past the 7th bolt to cracks and a flake. Finish at the mussy anchor.
