Look for the long left to right traverse that features a crack and sloped edged for hands and smearing on crystals for feet.  After you got it down, reverse and go back.

The name refers to the direction of topout, not the starting position. Starts to the right of Black Snake Crack Right on some good handholds and tiny feet, then trends upward and to the left along an undercling.

Classic crack climb at Boat Rock.  Rated 5.9 in the 2005 comp guide, I've also seen it listed as 5.10.  I've seen the crack started several different ways, but the crux seems to always be 3/4 of the way up the crack.  There is a nice jug at the very top.  Not as hard as Beam me up Scotty, but not as easy as Blues Crack.

Using the holds on the left side of the arete for the left hand position your foot onto one of the edges on the face.  Roll onto that foot and get comfortable.  From here reach up and find that lone large crystal.  High step onto the arete and walk it out.

Same as Dimples but using the seam to the right (from Rockhouse Traverse) to get started.

This is a fun problem with dynamic movement.

The name says it all -- it's a slab with dimples (though not as many as you might like).  Three or four tenuous, balancy moves will get you up to where the rock quickly becomes less steep and you're home free.

Climb the Corner arête. starts on the left of the long crack going right.
