Climb the face left of Thin Man past a sketchy looking flake, then cruise to the top.

The chimney that narrows to a jamcrack is the route Mourning Cloak (5.4).  

Rising Sun starts about 4-5 ft left of the chimney and climbs the face to the overhang and the top. 

  Nichols gave it a 5.9- in the Blue book but my notes indicate I thought it 5.8, so I compromised and put in 5.8+.

Start about 5-7 ft right of Thin Man and climb over the OH on it's right end (crux, tricky sequence) then up the face passing the block on the right. 

  Nichols gave this a 5.8+ in the Green book, then changed it to 5.7 in the Blue Book; my notes indicated I felt it " 5.8 to 5.8+".  

  The climb between Thin Man and Daybreak is called "Solar Wind", 5.8R and climbs the OH at the corner.

Nichols' Blue Book lists 9 routes beyond Morning Glory, they are: (with his ratings and star-numbers)  

  Tunnel Effect  5.10 TR 1-star

  Sunspot 5.2   First Light 5.4 R   Forget-Me-Not  5.3 R   Pine Needles  5.2   Silent Spring 5.7 R   Sunup 5.6 X 1-star

  Quiet Crisis 5.7 1-star

  Background Noise 5.6 R

The chimney that narrows to a jamcrack. 

  I put the route in more as a "place holder" for other routes.  

  Mountainproject "requires" a star rating be inserted; I'm loath to give it a "bomb" but 1-star may be too high.

12 feet right of Thin Man, layback the crack; climb right of the OH, then a blocky crack to a right-facing corner.  

  Nichols gave it 5.8 in the Green Book, "downed" it to 5.7 in the Blue book; my notes said " 5.7+"

From the top of the crag, scramble down to the right (this will be climber's left when facing the cliff from the bottom). Pass by the climber's-left-most short wall ("Blue book" lists 6 climbs on this short wall) to the left-most side of the "main face".  

  Spring Peepers is the left of two obvious cracks that start above a ledge. 

  Ken gave it a 5.5 and I've kept this rating, but my notes say I thought it more 5.4-ish.  

  The belay is at a tree, about 30-40 ft back from the edge.

The right-hand of the two cracks on the left end of the main slab.  

  The "Green Nichols' book had given it a 5.7, the "Blue" graded it 5.6 and my notes say I agreed with that.

Two routes start at a right-curving flake. Rustling Leaves (5.7, 2 stars) climbs over the flake and face climbs to the top.  

Whispering Pines laybacks the flake and finishes in a corner.

Beautiful views from the top, especially at sunrise! Straightforward access: about 20-30 min.  on a well-marked trail, nice climbs.  

  Bring 50-60 ft of rope or sling for setting top ropes if that's your intention.
