From a sit start, climb the offwidth crack from top to bottom.

 This felt like a V0 if you face climb it and V1-2 if you only use the offwidth crack. The offwidth is bigger than a fist jam (~5" wide) but takes stacked hands, arm bars, and knee locks like a champ.

Shaq is a bizarre, little problem with a severely sloped landing that climbs the overhanging arete at the far right side of the crag. Start low on the arete using a prominent feature with your left hand and a hidden right hand crimp, slam dunk the jugs above, and pull a heady mantel.

Climb the slab on the left side of the crag. Previously lichen covered, it is a nice addition to Crag 54.

The obvious feature of this little crag is a sharp arete/ridge that runs from bottom to top. The only published guide to the crag indicates it is "unrated". Felt like V2 or 3 to me. 

  According to Boston Rocks: "this very sharp, vertical ridge offers difficult climbing. It is unrated."

Sit start with your hands matched on a sloping shelf and your left foot on a good platform. Climb up into Ginsu Ridge proper via interesting moves.I'm unsure if this is considered the true start to the original Ginsu Ridge or not, but it is such an enjoyable variation I figure it deserves its own entry.

Climb the crack in the tall dihedral. Fingers to hands.

Climb the face on the left side of the crag. Start low and left and climb the face trending right.

This is tricky to find, because the crag is below you if you're standing on the approach trail. This is a small crag with a couple of nice lines on it. The lines can be bouldered. It is not really highball according to today's standards. 

  According to Boston Rocks: "this 18' tall, southeast-facing rock outcrop is hard to find. The name refers to the classic TV show Car 54 where are you?"
