Way Cool Junior is the route furthest left on this formation.  It is probably only 5.6 or maybe even 5.5 - but makes an excellent first lead(it was mine). 

  Climb up the leftmost line of bolts.  You could conceivably hit the ground before clipping bolt 2, but as a first lead this was very comfortable so I wouldn't worry about it.  Decent easy route, but there are better at Rushmore.

Way Cool Junior

Forty Something

Skin to Win

Slightly Hot Senior

Old Number 8

Four bolts protect this route which is located between Old Number Eight and Skin to Win.  The climbing is fairly continuous on small holds between the bolts.  The route name comes from my age and the temperature on the day of the first ascent.

This is the route furthest to the right.  Climb the face passing 5 bolts to the top.  The crux is about half way up.  Try doing as the first ascent party did... and Skin to Win!

Start just right of Way Cool Junior.Climb past two horizontal cracks to the top.

Old Number 8 starts in the prominent crack just right of Way Cool Junior.  The first bolt is high off the deck, but could be easily protected with trad gear though it isn't particularly hard here. 

  The crux is the bolted climbing above, and is fun Rushmore face climbing.  Hopefully bolts have not been added to the easily protectable bottom of this route as some other Rushmore routes have recently been degraded with.

Reef #1 is a small rock that holds 4 bolted routes on its west face.  Each route gets progressively harder from left to right, ranging from 5.7 to hard 5.10.  The routes are approximately 50 feet high, and end at a set of fixed anchors.  Also, a toprope could be set by running up a gully on its north side.
