Dive into a deep chimney and slither upwards past a chock stone midway, then upwards following a hand crack and some easy face climbing to shared anchors.

Up and onto a big hold at the bottom of the face (first bolt). Tenuously now past 2 more bolts, with nice moves on great rock up to the crux, trend slightly right to the horizontal break (cam if you want), up onto the break and finish the slab above (bolt), then step left and finish up Harlan Pepper to its anchors.

At bolt number three it's possible to use good holds on the left to bypass the crux, this reduces the grade to 5.8.

This is an enjoyable wide crack with plentiful face features that can be easily top-roped from anchors.

Climbs a technical slab to large roof with the crux pulling over the lip on poor holds; easier climbing above the roof leads to anchors.

A 5.11b toprope variation has been done -

Undercling up a ramp to clip the first bolt, then head up to a ledge and clip the second bolt (bit of a reach if you're short). Steep and thin climbing leads to the third bolt, then it eases up to a crossover to the right and over the crack (1" cam here if you like), the forth bolt is just ahead and from there it's a fun cruise on plates to the chain anchors.

Beautiful rock.

Takes the broken crack line to the right of the roof. The crux is negotiating the steep off width crack at the finish.

Ends on a great ledge which shares anchor with

(5.12c).

Climb the initial slab of

about three-quarters of the way, then break left to the arete, pull the roof and finish on featured face.
