Start below the first bolt. Continue straight up the slab, and get a rest at a horizontal crack before the crimpy headwall at the top.

Start on the jugs on the left side of a chimney, then move left around the arete and up. This has a bouldery section between the first and second bolts followed by a tricky slab move.

anchors (up and left) to get off the dome, or just walk off the back.

Buzzsaw Arete is a unique boulder/sport climbing route. Start at the base of the offwidth, and traverse around 15 feet left on underclings followed by campus crimps to the first bolt. It is best to protect this traverse with bouldering pads - since it's so traversing, it is not easily protected with bolts. The crux is a dyno/heel hook move to slopers. Climb 5.11 moves to a ledge, and then take the engaging slab to the top. The route is a V6-8 boulder problem to 5.11 climbing.
