Jam the clean slightly overhanging hand/fist crack to a ledge and belay.

Walk off/downclimb on the southwest corner of the formation or descend to the anchors atop Road Crew (a belay may be desired) .

Preclip the first bolt bolt on Road Crew and then instead of doing the boulder problem crux of that route climb the crack just to the right.

Steep and awkward jamming/liebacking gain a good edge and the second bolt which is where Road Crew cuts left; go straight up the slightly overhung wall on positive edges to a slabby finish.

Climb easy slab past two bolts to a traverse right at the third bolt, which then leads back left via tenuous friction to the fourth bolt. Inobvious and balancy moves lead up and then right to an anchor shared with Hubbble.

Sustained and technical, this slab route is unlike most of the climbing on this wall and is best done on a cooler day.

Climbs the face left of

Hannibal Lefter

, crosses that route, and continues up to a vague arete which is followed right to the anchors on

Hubble

.

Starts just left of

Real Men of Genius

and climbs a right-slanting ramp to fingery moves (crux) past the third bolt. Higher positive edges lead up and left to a sloping bowl and then back up and right to a finish on grainy rock.

Enjoyable moves on this route, but with a brief crux and somewhat gritty rock up high it doesn't merit more than two stars.

Pull a small overhang on incut patina plates then romp up the rounded arête with interesting movement on grainy rock to a contrived crux at the top as you move left via improbable moves using an undercling.

Good movement but the line seems forced at the top.

Do a boulder problem start on incut plates over a bulge and onto a vertical face with abundant edges. Higher, fun climbing leads up the face to a high-step move on plates and a balancy lieback move up and right to the anchors.

Super fun climbing with great protection make this a highly recommended route of the area.

Face climb past a bolt (the 1st of Slacker) and then enter the wide crack system above. It's possible to stay out of the crack and stem/face climb until about halfway at which point you must dive in and become the protection - progress is slower but secure. Gear belay and walk off or rap from any of the neighboring routes.

A crimpy crux at the start leads to fun climbing up incut patina plates to the 5th bolt where the good holds suddenly end; get creative and negotiate another crux on sloping holds to the anchors.

Originally climbed to just below the 5th bolt until the anchors were pulled and the climb extended adding another crux to the route.

The hardest of the bunch, this link up tackles the boulder problem start of

Lost Orbit

into the thin, slabby crux of

Lunar Eclipse

.

Two variations of this are possible with a low traverse at the 2nd bolt or a high traverse after the 4th bolt.

* A good combination of power and grace on this one.

Starts up

Lunar Eclipse

for four bolts and then moves left to join

Lost Orbit

at the 5th bolt on that route.

There are some good moves on this but it just doesn't flow as well as the other link up does.

* This link up skips the cruxes of both routes and instead offers a decent warm up for the area.

Climb right and then up and left off a ramp and onto a vertical face with patina plates which is climbed for several bolts to a small roof/overlap at the 4th bolt; pull over the bulge, clip the next bolt and make some balance moves getting stood up to clip the sixth and last bolt.

The moves past the last bolt require a high step/reach combo on polished, sloping holds and favor those with a good reach.

* Best done in the shade and when the temperature is cooler for optimum success.

A short, grainy left-facing corner leads to a ledge below a smooth green face. Clip a high bolt and make a fingery traverse left with technical footwork to a good edge and a break below a small roof. Undercling out right and weave your way along the upper face on sloping ledges.

Enjoyable moves on this varied and technical outing.

Climb the left leaning crack for 35'.  Good hand jams and convenient foot holds on the face below.  Once the crack splits go up the right side crack that fades out to a couple face moves.
