From the belay tree mentioned in Archetype, traverse up and left 25' to sling the small tree. From that tree, move up and right back to the first roof. Pop over the roof and up to the next roof under which you traverse left until you can climb through the notch. Of the handful of 5.10s at The Narrows here, this one gets the nod for being the most lead-friendly. There are great moves with good gear on quality rock. Be prepared to handle the initial (easy) traverse off the belay with care - the three-star stuff begins after you sling the tree. -Indy's Online Guide

Low Rider Double Direct

Begin slightly left of the belay tree that is a bit to the left of the start of Archetype. Climb the face directly up until reaching a large horizontal that is slightly higher than the belay tree on top of Archetype. (Beware of a short section about 30' off the ground of suspect rock.) Once at the horizontal, compress and hand traverse left to sling the tree. When moving back to the right, rather than going far right, up and then traversing back to the left as on Low Rider, reach high over the first roof at your first opportunity which will put you directly under the exit notch, thus eliminating the cruxy left traverse of Low Rider. -Indy's Online Guide

Climb the face 10' to the left of Elisa. Surmount the low roof at its widest point. Continue up through the bulging section and then up through and amidst the many small triangular roofs. Top off at the same point as Elisa. - Indy's Online Guide

Use the same start as Cheetah, below, but rather than taking a rising diagonal to the left, climb straight up the cliff. Belay under the final large roof and subsequent 5.2 leftward traverse along the ledge to escape the final roof and easily access the Sisters Rappel. -Indy's Online Guide

Belay from the largest tree on the left side of the amphitheater, about 20-30' left of the start of Archetype. Begin by ascending through large holds up and left on a diagonal. Surmount the penultimate roof gaining a great stance 15' below the final roof and traverse left to gain the large ledge (you can trim down the difficulty to about 5.6 by skirting the roofs on the left by continuing the upward left slanting diagonal in order to gain the large ledge system). The Sisters Rappel is located 50' to the left at the end of the ledge. A 5.9- variation would have you pull through the final roof section and 20' exit crux finish. -Indy's Online Guide

 maintain the most direct line possible up from the first tree mentioned in "The Test 5.7**" (rather than moving slightly to the right) in order to climb the roof and low angle section directly above it. - Indy's Online Guide

Climb the obvious arching crack to the tree (a bit harder and more awkward than it looks) Indy's Online Guide

Bashed fingers, red [biting] ants, a huge teetering rock that was a key handhold...next to a wasp nest, a sliced rope, and impending darkness made this climb one for the first ascentionists (Mike Varlotta and Will Dameron) to remember. Start 20' to the left of the Sisters corner. Climb directly up the lower face to the first tree and then up the middle section of cliff to the second tree. Move slightly to the right a short ways above the first tree and gradually move back to the left to reach the second. Because of darkness the climb was ended at the same ledge as the Sisters rappel rather than sending it through the vinal roof band.- Indy's Online Guide

This climb ascends the blocky corner on the far right of the wall that can be found around the corner to the left of the amphitheater. It ends at the "Sisters" rappel station on the tree atop the corner (the majority of the climb is a couple of grades easier than the brief, well-protected crux, making for what will feel like an easy climb for the grade).- Indy's Online Guide

Beginning where the trail meets the wall in Sisters' Corner, scramble up and right throught the mossy gully (about 8') to gain the blocky arete. Climb up and right another 20' to gain the arete. Continue up, staying inside the left face of the arete standing on good rest stances and placing gear in generally good rock (there are a few hollow flakes and plenty of loose rock among the blocks to avoid). Traverse to the right side of the arete about 20' below the large vegetated ledge to find an easy, yet exposed, line to the ledge. From the ledge, climb up and right pulling through the easy roof to the top (this is the crux - but it is still a 5.4).

This area is the next crag to the north of the expansive area known as Cumberhoney Wall. There is a fair amount of junk at along the base of the crag undoubtedly tossed from where the road runs closest to the top of the crag.
