P1- Start on a little crack under the roof to the left of East Indian Buttress. Traverse under the roof and follow the corner up to a small bush. Move into a tiny crack to your right and pass a small overhang. Continue up and follow the corner on your left side. Make a tricky move across the slab to your right to reach a small stance to belay (5.8) 105 ft

P2 Move into the corner and exit through the end of P2 of East Indian Buttress. Follow the exposed arête to a tree. Careful with lose blocks at the exit of the corner! (5.7) 60ft.

P3- Walk to the base of the wide chimney leading to the top, climb the chimney and exit on top (5.5). 65ft.

Descend by walking out the east side and down to the base.

Start at the large pine tree and move left past the rap anchor. Reach high to get a small cam placement and pull into the roof with good gear above that. Continue jamming past the roof and step right to a foot ramp leading to a small mahogany tree. Another small roof above the tree leads to a hand and fist crack which will end. Step right into the next crack until that ends, finishing with a layback (5.9) and face climbing (3 bolts).

Rap 95' to the ledge.

P-1...5.11a, 95', 5 bolts, doubles .5-1", rap anchor.

Start at the splitter crack in the corner for 25'. Step left onto the buttress to the first bolt. Lieback the flake past 2 more bolts, then left to the crack. More liebacks past 2 bolts to the shared anchor of Jam Nation.

P-2...5.8, 75', 2 bolts, singles .5-3", rap anchor

. Wander through big horns and knobs with the occasional crack, looks dirty but not on the route.

Rap the route.

P-1 150' 5.7  Find cracks which diagonal to the left aiming for a large ledge with bushes. Trad anchor. I noticed a rap station to the far left on the ledge. Single rack to 3".  There are several possible starts to this pitch, all about the same difficulty.

P-2 5.10a 100'  Climb off the ledge app 20' and move right into the obvious hand and fist cracks. Good sustained crack climbing to the bolt anchor. Double rack to 3"

P-3 75' to 100' 5.11a  Traverse right into some cracks and up to several bolts. At the last bolt swing around the buttress and into the thin crack (crux). Now don't be fooled, sustained 5.10 climbing continues to the anchor. Thin wires and small cams is all you get through this section so you better be good at placing gear from hard stances. At last you get to a very cool alcove with good medium cam placements which makes for an outstanding belay spot. Or continue another 25' to the bolt anchor of Indian Buttress. Doubles thru 2", small offset wires and small offset cams to 1".

P-4 70' 5.6  Meander up and right through ledges with occasional pro to the large boulder on top. Several rap stations around the top for different descents.
