From the topside of the obvious tree, step down right. Start on the face between the open book on left and a foot-wide crack/gully on right ... up to an arete along left side of a left-trending gully. Climb the arete.   . (Variation: climb in the gully just right of the arete - couple of thoughtful dihedral moves, then finish up the crack to right of upper arete - 5.7). 

Warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

From the topside of the obvious tree, step down right, then up the less-deep corner / open book. About eight feet below the protruding mini-tower, step right and up toward a left-trending gully. Over that to the top of the cliff. 

  Variation (harder): Go up to just below the protruding mini-tower, then up along its right side.   . (or could try going straight over the top of the mini-tower?)  

  When top-roping this route, it's simplest to finish by standing up on top of the mini-tower / turret. But can also climb to the top of the cliff, perhaps a bit awkward getting over top edge (not unusual for Powerlinez). 

Warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Fun moves on the arete. Too bad it's not longer. 

  Up the wide crack/chimney, then trend right and squeeze past an eight-inch tree at bottom of an arete with vertical crack to its left. Step right and climb up the face to the right of the arete. 

  Variation 1: Start by traversing from the wide crack/chimney right about eight feet out onto the face, then up the face to the tree and upper arete. 

  Variation 2: Climb directly up the upper arete (fun 5.6).

From the topside of the obvious tree, up the obvious two-foot deep right-facing corner to finish up the left side of the mini-tower which protrudes below the cliff top.

Sustained interesting moves. If only this were longer. 

  Up through the low overhang and up the crack to its top. Finish onto top of block.

Interesting slab climbing low, then interesting arete higher and finish on top block with a little balcony overhang. 

  Start by traversing horizontally Right from the botton of the wide crack/chimney about eight feet out onto the slab face, then up the slab. Up a gentler section to a tiny platform beside an eight-inch tree. Next up directly on the arete above the tree. Trend left to the penthouse top block and climb it directly over its front overhang.

Slab climbing "warmup" low, then interesting steeper face high. 

  From the topside of the obvious tree, step down right. Start on the slab face between the open book on left and a foot-wide crack/gully on right. 

  Next climb the steeper face between the dihedral gully on the left (without using the crack above the dihedral) and the eight-inch tree on the right (perhaps without using crack to the left of the arete above the tree). 

  Finish directly up onto "penthouse" block at top of cliff.

One interesting and strenuous sequence.

 Through the low overhang at the right crack. Up the crack to its top. Finish up arete to top of dome block.

 WARNING: There are several large and loose blocks in the middle of this route, in a spot that makes them hard to avoid - use caution - belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Interesting variety of moves and rock situations. 

  Step right under overlap, use undercling to help traverse farther right, then up crack (partly shared with "Dome Left" route) to its top. Turn right and finish onto top of dome block up its left face, perhaps using a bit of the arete.

Lots of fun interesting moves. If only it were longer. 

  Through the low overhang at the left crack. Up the crack a ways. Then leave the crack and climb directly onto the dome block up the left side of its overhanging front face.

Top-rope easy to set up for short routes, most sections less than vertical. Variety of non-steep moves, with blocks. 

  Between Devonshire slab and Puzzle Palace crag. 

Top-Roping: To set up a top anchor, traverse right (East) almost to the base of the Puzzle Palace crag. Scramble up the steep left-trending gully (careful of loose sections) on the left side of Puzzle Palace, then horizontal Left (SouthWest) along the top of the cliff.

  As of 2017, there are at least two large heavy perched rocks which seemed stable when we tested them once. But with future freeze-thaw and weather erosion, any large rock might become loose and perhaps disastrously fall on a person or equipment underneath. So be sure to re-test any rock before relying on it for significant weighting or grasping.
