First climbed by John Sherman around 1988. A critical hold broke on the arete eventually, and the crux went from V6 to V10, after Sharma spent nearly an hour working out the move around 2001. I had the pleasure of witnessing both ascents of this classic line.

Go straight up using the arete with right hand and side pulls with the left.

Originally a V4 with a move up to the large flake, however, after the flake fell off the climb is now V7.

Start at the good triangular hold.   Make a long reach left to a small crimp, and continue left a foot more before heading up the face.

Start at the obvious flat hold.   Pull up smear and its all but over.

Start with hand high on a good rail.   Pull on and follow the arete to the top.

Climbed in 1988 during a session with Jeff Schoen and John Sherman. First from the stand-up, then from the "Yabo start". Classic moves on beautiful slopers.

The sit start variation to Osama doesn't use the triangular holds at all. Start at a pinch/sidepull and climb directly up the arete. The large features to the right are off for hands and feet. Use the underclings on the left face and then continue up  Osama.

Start on the high crimps that are used for feet on Arête to Arête, v3. Go straight up the face. I'd say each folded pad stacked will lower the number grade.

Start on the large triangular holds and pull right on small crimp at edge of overhang, make a long cross to crimps on right (to make this move a left toe-hook works, but I've seen it done with a heel as well) That definitely feels like crux.

Finish by throwing for the sloping top (after a few blind feels I found a nice crimp up past the lip)

Start at the right arete and move up to stand on the good starting hand hold.

Make a rising left traverse to gain the good spike hold.   From here, make a long reach up to the top of the arete on the left.

Start matched on the same triangular hold that Pull Down Like De Jesus starts on.  Make a big pull left, or use a series of small crimps along the seam to reach a decent crimp.  Move straight up to a jug and then to the top of the boulder.
