The Illuminati is a fun problem with jugs at the beginning then a topout crux - the farther right you go once at the top, the easier it gets.

The Hamstringer (submitted as 5'7" and Up)

Start on a left hand crimp and a right hand sloper, then move up and left on good crimps.

Sit start with hands matched on a bad sloper, then move up and right to a crimp, then a jug, then the lip.

Sit start on two crimps, move your feet up, make a big move to a jug, then top out on some good crimps.

Stand-start with your right hand on a crimpy undercling and your left on a crimper rail, then make a large move to a sloper, go straight up the arete from there, and top out a little further left.

Sit start on two jugs, then make a larger move right. Once you are at the next set of jugs, go straight up on good crimps.

Start standing with two painful pockets (bring tape), cross over into a deep, triangle-shaped pocket, then get a final super positive crimp for your right hand. Smear your left foot, and make a hard throw to the ledge, hand-foot match, and make a balancy move to the topout.

Climb the arete, and transition onto the face on the left side of the arete. Keep it together on perfect crimps to the top. It is possible that this had been done before, I am not sure this is a first ascent. This is one of the best problems in the area according to some.

Use the same start as

Jogging

, just keep going right until you reach the arete, then go up.

Start with both of your hands on the lower rail and your foot out right. Work your way through the line with a series of large bumps and some funky foot beta. It isn't over until you get to the jug at the end. Carefully downclimb the south face.
