Climb the slabby wall at the left of the steep face directly.

The difficulties soon ease after the start.

Climb the arete either on the left side or if you are looking for something more challenging, go up the right side.

The climb is pretty easy, but the rock isn't very solid as you get towards the top.

Climb the crack on good jams until an awkward exit gains the top.

Tall.

Climb the blunt arete. Hard moves from the start but it gets easier as you go. The moves are a bit committing, I felt like the rock was going to break, but just trust it, it's good.

Sit start at the jug and then gain a good sharp two finger pocket with the left.   Pull though to better holds for the right hand then continue on improving holds up and slightly left.

Sit start at the good jug.  Reach up left then lean out right and follow the wall and thin crack to the top, using pockets a crimp or two for the right and the crack for the left.

This route is a bit tricky for me. Start off at the crack on the right (my friends tell me the right wall is off-route, but use it if you need it) Go up and find some small pockets out left with small feet. Trust me, the footholds are there, they just are microscopic. The crux, I feel, is making it to the tiny pocket with the right sequence. Definitely hit it with your right hand, otherwise it messes everthing up. Continue with a hard cross-through to some good two-finger holes and then go left to connect with Pocket Rib (V1)
