Mosaic ascends the blocky, grainy face just to the right of

Cosmosis

. Start on a short, light-colored slab at ground level, and head up, tending a little to the right, along the path of least resistance.

I'm not much of a fan of this route -- I think Apparition Rock in general is a crappy choss-pile -- but my buddy really liked some of the pumpy moves down low and didn't seem to mind that every time he tried to get a smear with his feet the rock crumbled out from underneath him. So I'll compromise and give this route one star.

Begin to the right of

Apparition

. Climb up 50' of discontinuous cracks with some loose rock to a sloping ledge. Continue up another 10', then traverse up and left along crux hand crack (.75 cam helpful) to join last 5' of Apparition. Belay from slung block.

Descent: scramble to climber's left down gully. In my opinion, the last 30' of the route warrants a 2- star rating, but the lower section is not too memorable, so overall a one star route, especially when compared to Apparition.

Starts with a slab "pop up" move, then up shelves, seams, and cracks to a bolted belay. Varied climbing.

Climb the first part of Apparition;...when you get to the cool hand crack part of Apparition, cut left to the arete, and ascend the arete past about 4 bolts to the summit. Use the same belay spot and rap anchor as for Apparition.

Apparition is the right-trending handcrack and centerpiece on Apparition Rock. The crux lies about 1/3 of the way up. This fun route should not be mised!

Descend via a number of bolted rap stations on the backside of Apparition Rock or via 4th class gully to climber's left.
