This climbs the upper face to the right of the waterfalls.  Start from the belay station at the ledge above Flee Flicker or Fleeting Glimpse.  This then works around the roof that the anchors are on, and  then pops over the small roof, at the base of the brown face with a bolt.  Climb to the ledge and clip, make your touchy move and continue to the top.

This is the furthest right (climber's right) climb not counting Rodan and friends.  You can start near Flea Flicker/Fleeting Glimpse and climb up and right along the easy ramps until you get to the nice finger crack on Neurotica.  I placed a piece here with a runner and made my move up and around the tree in the way.  Then you progress up and right to the roofs.  Climb the roof just past a right-facing headwall, clip the chains from Rodan and continue up the broken face and cracks to the top.  Angle left to the anchors on Hard Knocks.  A few worthy moves, but not a climb to repeat much.

On the far right of the Lisa Falls area, is a wooded cove with a roof above it.  This climbs a seam to a bolt on a slab, continues up a small steep section with another bolt above it.  Then the fun stuff.  Approach the roof from the right, locate the hidden bolt, clip it, and pull the roof.  Finish up on an easy slab to the anchors by the tree.  The 2nd pitch climbs up the face above.

This climbs the right facing, right-trending crack/ramp until you can gain the face above.  This should be just after a large block with a stripe in it.  Continue up the face, pulling off an easy mantle.  Then turn left to meet your anchors.  Pitch 2  angles right around the overhangs, and reaches the base of alarge right-facing flake.  Climb this flake til it's end.

This climb starts the same as Lisa Falls Left.  But it angles across the face to the ledge below the bolt.  Clip this bolt with a runner, and continue up the new seam/ crack to the anchors.

This starts in the same right facing crack that Lisa Falls Right climbs, but it continues into the nice finger crack after Lisa Falls Right climbs the face above.  Continue until the end of the finger crack, and then pop over the roof on your left.  Climb the thin seams that don't protect well for a bit, and then start an angling ramble to the left and the base of the flake on Lisa Falls Right.  Finish up with that climb.  2 1-rope rappels.

This climbs up the slab on the alcove on the far right of Lisa Falls under the roof.  It clips the 2 bolts on the way to the roof, and then clips the hidden bolt (runners).  Finally, it veers right to avoid the roof and pops over it at the far end of it.  Head to the anchors.

On the left side of the falls, is a bolted route Left of this is a leftward trending unprotectable corner.  Climb this.  Not a hard climb, just consistent.  Near the top it gets a little steeper, and also protectable.

This climbs the right bolted line on the face to the right of the waterfall.  Clip your 1st bolt and make the crux move.  The climbing eases a bit the rest of the way.

From the anchors of Flee Flicker and Fleeting Glimpse, start left working towards the waterfall and utilizing whatever comes your way.  Work left of the tree and then angle back to the anchors above Hard Knocks.  Just a tick, no more.

In the alcove on the far right of Lisa Falls.  Climb to the 1st bolt and launch out right to avoid most of the hard stuff.  This climb creates serious drag unless your careful, and it kind of sucks.  You end up meeting with the anchors by the tree.  Go figure.

To the right of the waterfall, in front of a large vandalized boulder are 2 bolted routes.  This is the right route.  Climb up the small crack to the ledge, clip the bolt and make your move.  The difficulty eases a bit the rest of the way.

Just right of the waterfalls, is an often wet climb.  It work up ledges and overlaps, until you can either meld into Lefty or work right to the anchors above Flea Flicker.  A couple of nice moves with one being the unprotected crux.

A short climb with an intriguing series of moves that start after the first bolt and extend through the rather exciting move over the lip of the roof.  A good choice if you only have a few minutes to grab a climb.

This is the bolted line just left of the waterfall. Usually dry by april. Because of the water running on this climb 5-6 months out of the year, it is deceptively smooth down low. Start on the rightward angling ramp,  and figure out the not so tricky sequence.   Once you have gotten past the start continue up past the step on the face to the steep section. Take a breather. Sidestep onto the upper face, and now commence to "sweep left". The line on this climb does not clamber up the ramp, as this turns into 5.5, but stays on the face with the bolts between your hands and feet, as you "sweep left". This consists of thin smears on micro-flakes, and fingernails of steel. What makes this part of the climb fun, is that each year, after the freeze/thaw cycles, the flakes have all changed. I went up there this year (2004) and a micro-flake that I remember from last year, that was integral was gone now. The upper face has gotten harder.
