This generic grainy slab climbs lumpy face to a ledge with a bolt and then continues to the top via more grain.

This is the bolted line just left of Mother of All Poodles. There are two options on this route. Directly up at the first bolt to a strenuous mantle goes at mid-upper 10 for the move. Otherwise, it's possible to move to the right on part of M.O.A.P, then head back up and left to the second bolt. 5.8 but runout.

East facing.

This climb is at the northwest side of the formation.

Climb the left leaning crack on the left side.

Descend third class.

This is a shallow right-facing corner system guaranteed to flay your flesh.

Make sure to tape up or bleed!

This route follows a seam/water runnel and after an initial lower-angled section it steepens for the finish.

While not especially well protected it does make for a fun solo.

Even grittier than it's neighbor, this route starts from a cave and tunnels upwards toward the light to reach a gritty crack soaring skyward.

Make sure to tape up or bleed!

Start up a white slab to gain a steep and featured brown face where engaging climbing past three bolts leads to a wide crack finish out left. Belay on top and walk off to climber's left.

A fun overhanging start (crux) leads to a steep hand traverse.  Above is a clean friction face (no bolts, but it's not hard).

Decent hand and fist crack that's grainy like everything else in the area.

Climb a short crack/flake, then face past a rusty bolt.

Anchors present a problem. A couple large cams in a flared groove might work, or a 20' sling around a protrusion.

More suitable anchors can be found further back.

Descend third class to the right.

This is a short, steep, exposed, clean face.

Ascend a ramp that leads up and left to a steep corner, passing a shallow round hollow on the right face near the top.

Could do the direct start up the bottom of that dihedral system, if the catclaws someday no longer block that.

This route is listed in the Bartlett Indian Cove book.

The name says it all. Its pretty short. The rock here on this slab is not that bad.
