This route was overgrown and wet at the start, but recently is much improved

 Start at the far right side of the Buzzard Wall directly underneath a short vertical crack. Work your way up to a small ledge covered in pricker bushes (sometimes wet). Stay left to avoid the prickers then head left onto the face heading for the bolt. Slab straight up looking for a 2nd bolt. When you get to the roof, plug in some gear and pull the crux. There are several options here, none of which seem easier than the next. Finish on the Smooth as Silk anchors

Start the same as Rip Cord, instead of trending up at the obvious crack (4th bolt), continue left out the face following the bolt line further left to an obvious crack weakness and head up to more bolts and end on the same anchors as Rip Cord 

A bouldery move gets you to a stance below the roof. Reach out and clip the second bolt, then pull the overhang onto the slab above. Continue past a short, dirty crack system, a bolt, and a tree to the high roof. Pull the roof at the left end(?) and continue to the top.

Starts far left of Buzzard Wall. Climb up slab trending left to first bolt way off the deck. Climbing is straight forward but a little run out between bolts. There is a #2 camalot placement about half way up but not really needed. Going left alond the arete near top avoids playing in the dirt. Good stance under slight overhang near 2 bolt anchor or climb over top.

Rip Cord is the bolted line on the far left side of the Buzzard Wall . Start like you would for Buzzard Bait, but instead of going out on the slab face stay on the arete/left face. Continue left to an obvious crack weakness and then head up and out on to the face with Buzzard Bait. Finish on Buzzard Bait. 

  This line is the actual intention for the first two bolts that everyone clips for Buzzard Bait. The book lists it as 5.9 but I and several others think it is harder than that.

Super Smooth is the bolted line just to the right of On the Wings of Buzzards. Start out on the overhanging crack same as On the Wings of Buzzards. After pulling the roof, step right and slab up through several bolts to finish on the Smooth as Silk anchors. 

  Apparently you can still FA the direct start at ~13a

Start in the right side of the overhang 25 feet left of Smooth as Silk. Get some gear into the overhanging crack, throw up a high foot jam into the crack, then crank over the roof. Once you're on the face, 3 bolts lead through easier climbing till the top. Trend right then find the path of least resistance through some difficult moves at the top to finish on the Smooth as Silk anchors.

Arbor Day starts 10 feet to the right of Buzzard Breath. Climb a strenous overhanging crack to the obvious ledge that has several small pine trees on it (and bushes in the summer). Follow the crack up through easier ground and finish to the right on the same anchors as Where Buzzards Dare. 

  After cleaning out the crack I can't see how following it could keep the rating at the guidebook 10a rating. Escape to the left at the two handed jug to keep it 10a or try and follow the crack (there are some really sharp holds in there)

Starting under an overhanging bulge protected by two bolts, pull through a crack system to a slopey ledge (crux).  Extra points if you can make the ledge move without grabbing the pine tree or its roots.  Surmount another overhang with balancy moves, then continue up on easier ground to the top.

Wander up ledges and low overlap/roof, continue on edges passing bolts and a few gear placement to another roof, work left to the anchors. 

Located just past the gully at the end of the Slab Area.  As the name implies...there are lots of buzzards that circle this end of the cliff. 

  There has been some recent route development on the left hand side of this cliff.
