Geometrics has some good climbing with a fun and surprising crux but with a few detractors along the way. It is still quite worth doing but not for people marginal at the grade, who might find it very intimidating.

This route is located down and left of the main Bihedral Rock. See Rossiter's guide, page 96, route one. Climb up a short corner with two bolts on the right side of the rock and just left of a chimney. Reach a steep section and crank through the roof (crux) and up to a ramp. Clip a bolt and make cool moves up the arete/face on great holds past the last bolt and into a nice crack system. Continue up to the anchors.

Follow short corners with good gear up to a steep section with a bolt. Crank past the bolt and gain ledge below a steep, short finger crack. Power up the crack and angle left past the crack following good cracks, with good gear to the anchor.

that connects bits of cracks.  It may have been done previously, it seemed fairly clean.  Since it wasn't listed in Bob D'Antonio's latest, pretty guidebook, we'll post it here.  For now, we'll name it in your honor, Jackie.

Start up easy terrain.  About 20-25 feet up at the bit of crack that angles left, find a short crux with slightly insecure feet protected by a small Alien.  Continue up easier terrain up to a ledge that holds snow with a bush.  Here, you can go up the offwidth created by the large, perched block (which didn't move when Deb pushed out on it from above) or traverse a few feet right into

With a 60m rope, belay from above & then rap.

A climb with a definite balancy and thin crux sequence and some more moderate climbing.

Start on the ground in indistinct but moderate terrain protecting wherever possible, with an eye to reaching the distinctive climbing. The target is a few bolts on a steep face near a "wrinkle" or perhaps you might call it a shallow seam in the rock. As you reach the hard moves, you can clip a bolt before committing to some thin and off-balance moves.  The climb is probably honest 5.11b.  Continue and the difficulty eases.  Head up and slightly left over moderate terrain with trad gear again to the shared, bolted anchor as for the 2 climbs on either side.

If this is your FA, please accept our apologies.

Start up the cleft, pro is deep in the back for the 1st half of the chimney.  Above, you can use the crack behind, but the face holds within get better.  Don't fall in there, the rock is rough.  There are still a few creaking holds in there.  Then, you get the funky, less-protected, awkward, RFD above.  The crux is high, near the top.  Rap off bolts on

We recommend you don't bring a nice shirt/jacket for this one.

This route is located down and left of the main Bihedral rock. See Rossiter's guide, page 96, route 1. In the center of the cliff, follow a corner up to an obvious, short left-facing corner. Gain a ledge and make a cool face moves left past a bolt to a short right-facing corner. Follow cracks up to the anchor.
