Tear in the Curtain has good climbing on dubious rock. The belay for this is a bit funky. Starting from the right side of the wall, it is probably best to tie off the two bolt anchor then have the belayer lower down to the base of the route and clip the first bolt.

Climb good holds on dubious rock to the crux jam crack through the roof then up to anchors.

Dash to Freedom has good climbing on so-so rock through the break between the two roof bands.

Belay at the anchors in the middle of the face, and angle up and right to the right-facing dihedral and over the roof to a nice face. Continue to anchors shared with

Mother Russia

.

Steep and fun climbing on dubious rock leads to the anchors.

Change the Wind to Silence is the best moderate and the crag, and it includes a fun summit pitch which can be linked.

P1: (5.9, 12 bolts) follow bolts up and slightly left of the main rib in the middle of the crag.

P2: (5.10c, ~6 bolts) angle left above the ledge, and follow a pumpy crack system through a roof to the summit.

Stem up an open, right-facing dihedral, and pull a roof to the left, which is shared with

Change the Wind to Silence

. Head slightly right, and finish on an arete feature.

Scramble up to the smooth face, and figure out the crux over the small roof. Continue up on easier rock to the anchors shared with P1 of

Change the Wind to Silence

.

Alternatively, per

Pete Zagorski

: you can continue to an anchor below and left of P1 of

Change the Wind to Silence

.

Belay at bolts on the left wall, and climb through the tree to reach the first bolt. Crack the crux stemming up the corner and over the roof to romp to the anchors.

Mother Russia has good moves on good rock.

From the anchor, climb up and slightly left to the roof, and balance your way over the crux lip. Easier climbing leads to the anchors.
