as one approaches OBS from the parking area, you will see a pine tree on the left side of the slab. scramble up to the tree which is at the base of the crack. this is a strenuous but short climb. I found it enjoyable. if it was longer, it would be a Josh classic.

The "crack" is really just a seam, so it's an unprotectable face climb.  The crux is a thin section 30 or 40 feet above the ground.  The rock is good, and this is a nice route.

Straight up finger-to-hand crack leading up to a topout roof.  Accessed by first climbing Mom For The Road or One For The Road.

This is the last crack on the far left side of the crag just left of Paint Me Gigi.

I checked out this route bc it’s one of the few easy routes in the guidebook not listed on MP. It’s a very short and easy route with crappy rock.

Zero stars. Not worth it.

If you’re not soloing it’s probably easiest to use the anchor up and right on top Mastering 5.2 to descend.

A fun top rope up the shallow bucket holds.

Unusually thin with a semi hard crimp move near the top of the difficulties which makes this dicey as a lead/solo for the grade.

Crack to the left of Tres Fun.  Start up a pillar leaning against the rock and continue up double cracks that converge into a single crack leading to the top.  Descend the gully on climber's left which drops you off exactly at the start of the route - last 10ft is a 4th class chimney.

An easy scramble leads to a right-leaning thin crack that takes small gear and involves four or five moves at 5.7 before easing off to mellow face climbing to the left to share anchors with Look Mom No Hands and Look Mom No Sweat.

Face moves to finger crack that leads over a small roof.  Then up easy slab and cracks to terrace top.

Go up the left facing dihedral with no pro whatsoever as it becomes a ramp seam.  Follow it up, going past blocks and finishing through a short hand crack with scabby rock.

This is a crack route that is on the left side of a whitish section of rock.

Start behind a tree on flat ground. This face route is just to the left of a waterchute/groove.

In between Look Mom No Sweat and Look Mom No Hands is a face climb that can be done on top rope.  I'm sure many have done this route on TR from the anchors at the top of the two climbs it lies between, but I've never seen it listed in a guidebook.

It's worth mentioning though, as the crux move, a single high-step with marginal holds, make the climb worth doing, especially since you already have the TR set up from the other routes.

The area where the move is can be seen in the photo as the light area midway up the route.

Face moves to gain thin crack leading up to left-facing corner and up to the roof. Turn the roof, or left across roof and over. Follow continuing crack to the terrace top.

This is a straight in, slightly right-leaning crack along the edge of the white rock.

This is the gully that ascends the left side of the South Face of Outward Bound Slab just to the left of Look Mom No Sweat.  Lots of ways to run up this route make it anywhere from 5.2 to 5.4 or 5.5 and although it's hard to protect low, most of the route is easy enough that it's not an issue.

From the anchors, continue up and slightly to the left over a bulge to a notch in the rock to downclimb the backside of the formation

Start under and right of the low angle pillar to the right of Look Mom, No Name.  Place gear, then, launch up without much protection until the route goes lower angle.

Diagonal over to the left and aim for the belay anchor atop the "Look Mom" routes.
