Climbs the north side of Gaping Ape Rock.  Begins with thin friction move past second bolt. After mounting an obvious platform, fenesse through an easy layback for an easier finish. Route requires a light cleaning at the beginning of each season. Summit top anchors can be reached with a short scramble from the uphill backside.

In order to reduce rope drag belay from the large ledge level with the left side of the overhanging roof. P1: staying below the 2 bolts traverse out over the roof and around the sharp corner to a small airy belay ledge (5.7, about 25 ft). The Crux and fun is commiting to the move around the corner. P2: climb straight up the arete to the summit. Rap of two summit bolts, no chains. Or scramble off backside.

Off-width crack at the base of Evil Monkey. Protected with 4 bolts.  Note: In the guide I incorrectly placed it at the base of Iron Maiden in my discription.

Short climb up the lower slab to the left of the Body Slam off-width crack. Ends at the large ledge and trees and the start of Evil Monkey (5.7). This lower angled slab needs TLC at the beginning of each season.

3 short routes ranging from 5.6 to a 5.8 offwidth.
