Climb over the overhang directly off the ground and head up a series of gigantic disorganized flakes. Supposedly a 5.3 according to guide book but found it to be much more difficult than that.

Alberton Roof

Start with your back to the big tree furthest from the trail on the west facing portion (left side) of the rock. Go up ~10 feet of vertical rock until you're at a slab with few holds. Traverse left at that point until you're at the bottom of the overhung wall, where you make your way up and leftish on decent holds to a big jug rest about 3/4 way up. At this point you reach up left hand to an orange quartz hold that's good for about 3 big fingers or 4 fingers on a small person's hands. Then reach up right hand to a small 4 finger 1/2 pad crimp which you use to bump up again to a big jug hold a foot or so above. Finish by getting above the overhung portion until you can stand hands free. 

Start up slabby terrain on the right end of the roof, aiming for a small V-notch in the roof that provides great jugs. Throw a right foor into a somewhat tenuous heel hook. Finish on the highly textured slab above.

First half: Either follow the path for Kelbel Klimb and Alberton Roof up the slab, OR start low and the the boulder style overhand 4ft off the ground.Second Half: Take the left edge up the roof (left of Kelbel Klimb using a left sidepull crimp and a a reach to a large crimp at the tip of the roof.  High feet can help get the next few holds to pull over the roof and head straight up as far as you'd like (10ft to the top of the cliff).

Move through the textured slab to the far right end of the roof. Pass the roof with decent holds and continue up the textured slab above.

Textured slab the whole way, but limited options for protection. Not for the nascent trad leader.

Climb the overhang at ground level and continue up through mini roofs

Climb the same as Alberton Roof up to the v notch rail in the middle of the roof. But at the notch move left with left hand up to incut crimper on lip of same rail that makes v notch jugs. When have left hand on the crimper you can get a heal hook on the rail and that frees your right hand to move up over the roof lip to grope for something holdable. Typically a sloping bump or slight edge. Use right hand above roof to reposition and get left hand up so you can then move up to jugs and finish out. It's slightly eliminate and fit between other lines but pure enough that you aren't following a bunch of eliminate rules to make it happen.

Cllimb the overhang at ground level, immediately in your face, and continue up the slab to the big roof. Climb through the roof on the left side using flakes and jugs then finish up the climb to the top.

Climb up slab to big roof. Aim for the v notch and climb up and right slightly on really big jugs until you are on the face above. Finish up the face on nice holds.

After an easy walk about 15 minutes passing some very nice boulders, and rounding a gentle bend in the old road Alberton Rock appears 50 feet tall in height. Alberton Rock is an excellent place to take beginners climbing offering many easy to intermediate climbs.  To the right of the crags main feature a large 6-foot roof, there are several routes in the 5.2 to 5.7 range climbing through horizontal ledges. The areas hardest climb would be to directly pull over the very center of the large roof at about 5.11

Important Notes:

Top-Systems need to be extra long here as the trees are set way back.  we're talking upwards towards 65 feet for a few of the climbs.  Also beware copper head snakes have been seen here, particularly at the top of the cliff.
