A traverse from right to left on the bottom of Placque Rock.

Gets increasingly more balancy as you traverse left and up (usually) across the rock.

Plaque Face Center

Just like Plaque Traverse, this climb starts on the far right side of Plaque Rock and traverses left.  The difference is that all the holds above the base of the plaque (including the bottom left corner of the plaque) are OFF.  This results in very tricky feet on the left side.  Finish by turning the arete.

10 feet up, crimps and pockets. Many variations, V4-5 and up depending on where you go on the face. Use only natural features on the face. "Eliminate" the carved plaque holds and the arete.

The arete on the right side of plaque rock.  Difficult to judge which holds you should be going for until you're already there.  Lots of fun but too short!

The furthest left climb on Plaque Rock.  Use the arete to get to the top - as simple as that.

Climb the left side of the face on Plaque Rock. This route starts directly under the plaque, heads right through the plaque (hence modification) and then up and out through the center of the face using small crimpers and pinches to get you to the top.

This is not a very long route, but it does get harder towards the top.
