Climb up to a hanging flake which transitions to triple cracks before transitioning left to a final crack that leads to anchors on a ledge.

This is the discontinuous crack system just right of Kindergarten Cop.  Follow the thin crack, past a horizontal, up and right to a nice hand crack.  Continue up the hand crack until it runs out, finishing up and left to the anchor for Kindergarten Cop.  The crux comes early and we felt the climb was easier than the 5.8 rating given in Hidden Treasures, with most of the climb going at 5.6.  A fun climb with great feet, good ledges and nice jams.  Rappel to descend.

Climb the right arete of the wall.   Struggle to stay left of the 1st bolt (if you stray right, the grade drops to 5.10b).

After the 1st bolt reach up and progress on sharp crimps until a rounded finish is encountered shortly after the 3rd bolt.

to about the halfway point and then cut left into another crack/seam that leads to the top.

Undercling up to the base of a right-slanting thin crack which dies out higher where interesting movement up the face finishes by pulling a bulge directly to the anchors.

Climb the wide crack immediately right of

with little trouble.

Climb up the good jam crack on the left side of the face that holds

.

Solid jams start the climb and you finish with good  flake holds.

This is the middle of three bolted routes on the east side and climbs a narrow face between two crack systems.

The crux comes early on as you pass the first bolt via a somewhat awkward mantel (easier slightly right), after which it's fun climbing up plates and edges to the anchors. Given 5.10b in the guidebook for the area, but it seems a bit easier.

So named by the first ascent party in response to the sport bolting of the nearby

Hungover Wall

, this was one of several early routes done that explored the possibilities of the Children's Forest area.

Climb a short section of hand crack to a stance and the first bolt and then move onto the rounded arete face passing two more bolts via steep friction climbing to anchors on a small ledge.

The route is a little crunchy in spots but more traffic should help to clean it up nicely.

Climb up thin vertical seams, until a good notch for the right hand allows a high step up to the overhang and undercling.

After a breather at the undercling, move up using tip jams until the upper finishing crack is reached.

The anchors are reached easily after the wide hand crack.
