Dog Pile Traverse

This route is fairly simple up until the crux near the top, where you have to make a leap of faith and hope you don't fall, assuming you're high-balling it.

Start as for Dog pile traverse. Climb up the thin Slab to a good hold. Make committing moves out right off the Deck to finish.

Grab the flaky holds in the dish, get the feet up, then press.  Holds up higher help to get a foot in the dish.

Friction slab with a seam for the hands. Topping out left of the seam is a little harder. Good warm up for some of the steeper slabs and thin faces in the area.

Another fun variation is to avoid topping out after the tips crack meets the seam. Traverse right, then downclimb on the easier slabs and rejoin the seam at the bottom for an endless loop of slab climbing. Create your own friction slab problem!

On the south face of the left (lower) of the two biggest dog pile rocks. Start on the right near the rounded arete. Climb up onto sloping ledge feature and traverse left on balancey dime edge moves all the way left to finish up the Hand Crack.
