Climb your way up a small slab and cruise up jugs to an interesting lip encounter. I’ve always heard this one referred to as the 5.8 highball, feel free to weigh in on the grade

5.8 Highball

Tombstone

Last Dance

Tombstone Traverse

Rail Problem

Start on a big just down and right and traverse up and left on crimps to the apex, avoid pulling onto the slab early. This problem can get somewhat dirty but is easy to clean from the slab.

The left edge of the tombstone-shaped face. Stand atop the cheater stones or a stack of pads to reach two decent edges. Deadpoint up and left, then follow the faint arete to improving holds. B1+

For the highball connoisseur, this one is not to be missed.  Start on a large pocket and another good hold and make your way up the arete via some trickery. Climb out to the face on sloping holds and enjoy the crux, leading you to a few nice jugs in the crack. From here pull a few techy moves on to the slab. If you fall off the top, just go ahead and roll into your tombstone.

Start low and climb through the rails to easier terrain on the slab.

The boulders peter out near the west end of the field. The classic V8 "Tombstone" is here along with several good lines on a very tall block. There is also a ton of toprope/highball/soloing potential on the cliffs above.
