Directly to the right of

Bop 'till You Drop,

there is a nice hand-sized crack. Chain anchors in the half-cave which you can see from the ground.

Interesting, enjoyable start gets you up the heel-hookable roof. A bomber hand-sized horizontal crack above the first bolt gains you the face, which boasts slopers and underclings to the chains.

This is a second pitch from the lowest set of anchors.  Roof problem.

Yellow Point is a system for trad similar to the red point and pink point for sport climbing.  There is green, yellow, purple and brown point.  This system was developed by Tom and myself and is used by no one else.  A yellow point has the trad gear already in place when you lead it.  We were placing bolts and need gear to keep us in line and close to the rock.

You can also lead it from the ground up without pre-place gear (green point).

After the second clip, you have lieback slopers past the third, then easy moves to chains in a half-cave. The chains are a bit skinny. Comfortable with a 9.6mm rope, but if you have a 10.2, you might want to walk off.

Descent: abseil or walk off. Be careful if you walk off--would suggest abseiling.

Low angle route, furthest to the right at the crag. After the bolted lower section, there are either cracks to protect or a 15 foot run-out to chains.

Descent: abseil.

Work up the leftmost chimney, the top of which you should protect with a nut. The first bolt is on the left face of the crag, about 35 ft off the ground. Climb the arete past the first and second bolts, and protect the obvious down-and-to-the-right slanting crack below the third bolt with a medium sized nut. An easy mantle after the 3rd bolt gains the chains.

Descent: Abseil or walk off (walk off goes up the hill a bit, then to the left--there's a decent trail).
