Primak's Surprise is found at the inside corner to the right (south) of Debauchery.  Climb the inside corner using holds on either side.  Once near the top either skirt under the shrub or climb up and left to finish using the top of Debauchery.

The Horse is found on the northwest-facing wall near the middle of the Horse Rampart formation.  The route is named for a flake about halfway up the route that has the appearance of a horse's head.  To climb, start behind the large tree and climb up either the inside corner or to the right of the corner, making your way up to the left side of the Horse flake.  Climb onto the flake and finish the route by climbing the corner to the top.

Located at the Eastern end of the Horse Rampart (the last climb on the continuous cliff line before Teetering Tower), this jam crack poses interesting moves that will have you wondering why you haven't found this rout at the lake earlier.

Teetering Tower is a massive pillar balanced on a tiny base, and leaning back as if it might squash anyone foolish enough to chimney up between it and the main cliff. 

  So that's where you go!  Finish on top of the Tower.

Start up the slope, climb the corner crack system, then move 3 feet left into the wide crack system with a few good layback moves. You can stop here on this ledge or continue ~20 feet to the top of the bluff.

Climb the face between Pullman Car and Roger's Roof using balancey face moves.  Once you reach the overhang follow the crack between the "Horse" flake and the overhang to the top.

A fun scramble up a pretty, clean section of rock.  The rocks in the crack are mostly solid.

Woger's Woof Wightside is a very tough face climb over the sizeable roof halfway up the wall.  To start, either climb up the lower half of Roger's Roof (the rib to the right of the alcove) or climb up out of the alcove itself.  Once up to the overhang position yourself to the right of the handcrack in Roger's Roof.  Use small fingerholds to pull yourself up past the roof.  Continue to the top with challenging face moves.

This route isn't listed in Swartling & Mayer, and doesn't get much traffic. It's got a few good moves that go at 5.4 or 5.5, the rest is easier stuff. Start on the wider crack, then scramble up on lower angle terrain towards the obvious hand crack/dihedral and finish with some nice jams.

Climb the lower face to the ledge.  Continue on the left corner.  The crux of the route is the section past the ledge.

Climb the face of the rib, surmount the overhang, and continue to a ledge.

 Above the ledge, the guide books say to finish via a neighboring route, but it looks to me like you could follow a new (perhaps contrived) line up between Plethora and Scavenger of Sorrow.

 This is a named climb in both the Knower book and Swartling/Mayer although in S/M it shares the same route number with Plethora (#14).

 S/M says that to surmount the roof you can step left around the corner without using Plethora crack, then move back up right and over the roof.

Follow a series of good holds to a ledge with a tree. Head right, climbing a crack just before the wide chimney to the top.

Between the Cheeks (aka Between the Sheets) is located on the north end of the Horse Rampart formation between Moby Dick and AAA.  Climb the face through the overhang, avoid both the inside and outside corners.

Climb up block feature between Peanut Butter and Mother Smuckers Jam.  Bouldery. 

Moby Dick is a 30-foot climb located on the north end of the Horse Rampart formation.  Coming up from the Birthday Rocks it will be the first climb you come to.  Climb up the slightly leaning corner using small ledges and some cracks near the top.

AAA can be found near the north end of the Horse Rampart formation.  The route follows the west-facing outside corner up through the overhang and to the top.

Tricky and overhanging crack followed by jugs higher up. The crux is avoiding pumping out at the right facing corner below the small roof but it's far from over after that. Skinny fingers come in handy. Fun route.

Roger's Roof is a well known climb at Horse Rampart.  When approaching Horse Rampart from Birthday Rocks, Roger's Roof is located near the left corner of the formation about 50 feet past the top-rope access "gully".  To climb this beauty, start to the left of the alcove at the base of the wall.  Follow the wedge-shaped rib up to the hand crack in the roof.  When you get to the roof, reach above it and jam your palm (you will bleed) into the crack while keeping your feet high on the face below the roof.  When your hand is sufficiently jammed, swing your left foot above the roof and propel yourself onto the face above.  Follow the crack to the top.

This is a unnamed 5.7 in the guidebook. It's a pretty good warm up.  

  Start in the cracks on the west face to the right of AAA. Exit right to the ledge at the overhang then go up either the South face (has pro) or step left onto the West face (no pro) and finish left of the capstone.

Debauchery (n): Extreme indulgence in sensuality (orgy).  Sounds like the guys that named these climbs spent too much time climbing. 

  To climb Debauchery use the corner to make your way up to the ledge at 25 feet.  Climb above ledge on ledges and into a curved dihedral.  Climb dihedral to the top.

Treachery is located to the right of the alcove of Woger's Woof Wightside (route 9).  To climb Treachery, follow the rib/inside corner up to the chimney above.  Climb through chimney to top.

Pullman Car is a challenging route on the corner between Archery and The Horse.  Climb the corner using small holds up and to the right of the "Horse" flake.  Continue up the obvious crack to the top.

Un-named in the guide this is a good warm up for access to the top to set up TR. Some loose blocks to contend with.

The bottom 15' is a walk up, 5.2 maybe.  After that there is a nice crack to climb.  The crack is about 20' long.  It is challenging.

Lechery (n): Inordinate indulgence in sexual activity. Good luck finding that on this climb! 

  Lechery follows a handcrack for 25 feet up to a ledge.  Once at the ledge use the finger crack to finish the climb.

Monarch is located near the inside corner/gully on the northwest-facing wall near the middle of the Horse Rampart formation.  Start left of the big tree and climb up slab to the steeper wall above.  Make your way into a shallow inside corner and follow it to a crack.  Climb the crack to the top.

A powerful, bouldery start, followed by a fun romp up the NW arete.  The crux is clawing your way far enough up the NW corner to get your feet on something good. 

  Smith and Zimmerman (1970) say that this became a 5.9 when a hold broke.

Horse Rampart is located southeast of the electric fence above a large talus field.  The area contains a plethora of moderate routes including the challenging Roger's Roof (5.8).  The routes here are fairly long and the area at the base of the climbs is very comfortable.  Any moderate climber should be able to find a climb that suits them from the 20 or so moderate climbs found here.  There are also a handful of more challenging climbs here, including Between the Sheets (5.12c) and Ptolemy (5.11a).
