Obvious hand crack on the left side. A short scramble will leave you on a ledge where you make a weird move to gain the hand crack. Escape left on 3rd class terrain(continuing straight up through the offwidth will put you on the 10d Babes on Harleys)

On North end of the West Face find a 10' hand crack flake before the shady chimney.  Undercling and traverse right to hand crack/corner.  Climb up to the horizontal crack and start traversing left.  Crux pro is .5/.75 going around the corner.  Keep your feet high and undercling until you can get good hand jams.  Continue over to the ledges and build an anchor 123 cams

Starts on strenuous underclings and smears and moves  up a 5.9 right trending ramp. From the top of the ramp its all business past the last two bolts.

Just right of the Tarzan Traverse is a thin diagnal crack. Access it from the zig-zag of cracks below it.

The direct start to Moby Dick is the logical line here.  I chose to pretty much go straight up underneath the first bolt as opposed to the arching undercling/crack thing to the left.  Start on good holds just right and move back left to gain the undercling and crimp rail just under the first bolt.  Move up on sharp and small holds past the first bolt, then keep it together for the rest of this bueno route known as Moby Dick!  Awesome freaking climbing!

Climb the face using gear and the single bolt for pro.

Face with marginal pro until higher up on the route.

Start on "moby dick" staying to the right in the hand crack, avoiding the bolts on the face out left. At a small ledge/stance, traverse right then up to an obvious headwall. Well protected except for the headwall.

Climb the thin dihedral to the right of women on mopeds then traverse right to a bolt, downclimb and move right on what holds you can find before moving up to a fish gill overhang to place large pro #4. Work up under the mini roofs with seams (med gear) and bail left. There are 3 hexes with biners to lower off and clean. This route has seen a second ascent but is sees no traffic. A fall at the crux would result in a ledge fall but would likely not be fatal. The crux holds are very fragile so please be gentle!!

Crack to the left of women on mopeds. Wide. A great into to climbing route, easily topropeable.

Starts in a 5-easy corner. When the corner/crack system ends, continue straight up on 5.11 ground past some bolts to a bulge. Solving a v4 boulder problem gets you over the bulge and clipping the chains.

Easy scramble / boulder to the top of Crab Eyes.  Start Women on Mopeds but instead of moving up the face, take the easier left option.

To the left of Tarzan Traverse is a chimney that heads to the top of Crab Eyes. The route has good protection in the chimney but is mostly choss and should not be climbed. There is a 20-30 pound undercling that is ripe for ripping off onto your belayer up the route. If you stick in the chimney and avoid face holds it's less awful.

Chimney up the South Chimney unprotected to ledge and climb the finger crack up to next ledge.  Climb directly up the middle of the headwall to bump up the grade to 5.9 or Traverse to far right (east) corner and ascend up good edges with great exposure.

Face climb up thin features with a dyno before your first pro
