This climb also starts from the top anchor for Where the Sun Don’t Shine. Climb straight up the water chute past 3 bolts in 30 feet.  Twenty feet of easy class five to the right of the chute leads to easier ground. Scramble and then walk another 30 feet to a two-bolt anchor on the left wall. Class three ramps lead to the top of the formation and then to the third class descent off the north side.

Bolt Bandit

Start from Where the Sun Don’t Shine’s top anchor. Move up and left 15 feet to a bolt below a bulge.  Continue left and up 15 feet to join the final pitch of Lichen to Lead where that pitch includes a noticeable series of big knobs.  Walk off as for that route.

Start 30 feet right of Masters of Mischief.  Climb 30 feet to a headwall and the first bolt. Move up and right over the headwall.  Four more bolts lead to a two-bolt anchor with chains.

Start a few feet right of Self-Selecting Substrate.  Climb up and slightly right, 25 feet to a bolt. Continue past four more bolts to a two-bolt anchor shared with Self-Selecting Substrate.

Start this route on the same slight, up-and-left ramp as Where the Sun  Don’t Shine.  After 25 feet, move straight up to a bolt.  Five more bolts lead to a two-bolt anchor with chains 90 feet up.

Start this route (and the route Masters of Mischief) up a slight but noticeable up-and-left ramp.  The first bolt on Where the Sun Don’t Shine is well up this ramp just before a mossy water streak.  Five more bolts lead straight up then up-and-left into the water streak (really good rock, but lots of moss). Finish at a two-bolt anchor, 100 feet from the start.  The fifth bolt and the anchor are hard to see from below.  Longer runners on the upper bolts help prevent rope drag.

This climb starts from the Masters of Mischief anchor.  Very easy climbing leads right 15 feet to a bolt which protects moves over a roof/headwall (long reach to a hole).  Continue past two more bolts to a flat area and a two-bolt anchor on the left, below the summit of The Flumes.  Class three ramps lead to the top of the formation and then to the third class descent off the north side.
