A fun romp up a pocketed face and crack that makes for probably the best warm-up in the Sidewalk Buttress area. Start up a crack and flake to a horizontal break and some good pockets on both sides of the crack. Awkward moves take you up to the final bulge with huge pockets and the anchor.  The route is number 610 in Huey's

most excellent guidebook.

Goblin's Gold

Asphalt Flowers

Invisible House

Invisible Boy

Peppermint Wind

Invisible Cheese

The longest route on this section of wall. Start of the right crack, then pull onto the long clean face, and finally through a bulge at the top.

It goes up a guano-invested crack / undercling and trends left on small holds and good feet to a rest. Milk the rest then pull the three or so moves through the bulge to the anchors. This is an awkward route that never really let's up until just before the bulge. Some good footwork will save your arms from crimping too hard. I felt as if I could peel off at any moment from bolts 2-5 if I let my guard down. Pulling the bulge and clipping the chains wasn't too bad after having a solid rest. Have fun on this!

Small holds lead to a horizontal break. I have not climbed it, but both Aaron Huey and Mike Snyder's guides say it is not a good route. If anyone climbs it and/or has more information, let me know and I will update.
