Stand start to the right of the crack standing on a huge, obvious hold with your hands on the ledge, use some crimps to work your way up to stand on a big ledge, then use great holds to finish up. Stay on the face, don't wander off to the right.

Classic Warm-up

Classic Crack

Classic Arete

Classic VO Face

Hidden on the north face of Classic Rock is the eye catching namesake, Classic Crack.  At first blush many years ago I thought this route was nothing "Classic", just a well-hidden cleft in the sandstone.  But as time goes by, I return again and again.  Then I look at pictures of the route and finally notice the green, lichen colored pastels of the tableau.  I remember the safe landing and square cut top out, perfect for the aspiring boulderer.  Yes, this is Classic Crack.

The North Side of Classic Rock has two tiers, split right where Classic Crack creases the boulder.  Start on the lower tier for the full effect.  The crux is working up from the ground using edges and a not so great finger jam to a point where you're able to reach into the large section of crack (there's a hidden hand jam back there) and crank up.  Mantle to the top.

Start at the base of the obvious arete on the south side. Pull the rail to the right as far as you want, the further the harder. It is a great warm-up. Downclimb the chimney for bonus fun.

Just left of Classic Crack is an unknown V0 that has all the traits of the area (except maybe being highball).

Starts off of two juicy good holes, with poor feet.  First move is getting the feet off the ground and comfortable on the overhanging face.  Then reach high above and find a killer sharp edge at arms reach.  Cross and find another edge slightly higher.  Gravy.  Reach for the edge and heel hook to the top.
