Crux comes early on as you establish in the rattly hands section of the crack and the boulder to the right blocks you, causing extra awkwardness.  Either stubbornly avoid the boulder to detriment of higher difficulty or use the offwidth between the boulder and the wall to jam your feet and arm bar.  The slight overhang near the top, the questionable crispy holds there, and the bushy lichen in the shallow flare of that general region add flavor.

Needs some cleaning from traffic.  For some (like me), the adventurous feel is magnetic and adds to it.

Poker Face

A bouldery start (crux) leads to a ledge, above which a bolt protects moves into a thin crack. Belay from the small tree atop the route (you can back up the tree with a 3 inch cam).

Originally done as a top-rope by starting on

Epic Zedu

and moving right at the ledge; it was later lead with a direct start.

Interesting enough crack climb for the area. Begins with same boulder as in Wood Splitter, but rather than going up left side, go up right side slabby flare.  Bit of a surprise: the left lean added to the flare make for a harder climb than the low angle suggests.  The crux is definitely maybe two or three sustained moves.  Initial crux involves the so-so smear to high step transition before the flare begins in earnest; secondary crux occurs in the flare where a thumbs down left-handed jam may be mandatory(unless you find an easier sequence).

Finish up licheny face with slight overhang as per Wood Splitter.

Climbs a chimney which narrows to a hand crack for the finish. A little rough around the edges but should clean up more with traffic.

A fun hand crack that takes good gear. A bouldery start leads to the crack with the crux at the top of the crack.

Starts off wide crack that goes up and to right.  As you get directly below tree, head up and follow line of least resistance.  (And it

is

non-resistant)

Located in the center of the west face of Two Tree Rock, this is the second route from the left.

Climbs a short, steep slab with small edges and technical footwork. Climbers accustomed to technical face climbing will enjoy this outing, while those who aren't may think otherwise. If this went on for another eighty feet or so it would be classic.

Crux is passing the first bolt.

there is a variation at the first bolt. if you move left, the rating probably drops to 5.8
