Some scrambling up loose blocks leads to a forced boulder problem halfway. Finishes with a short steep hand crack.

Goat's Head Soup

Start on a small arete, climb straight up and move right to the anchor

Follow up the face near the rampy ledge, move right and around the arete and then finish on the left of the arete.

This route follows a left leaning trend up the center of the wall that faces the highway.  Some slings will help keep rope drag down. Clip bolts up a slab and onto steep terrain high on the route.  Finish on a anchor past some lose blocks.

This route climbs up a few moves down low before crossing the dihedral on trad gear.  Finish on the upper face clipping the last two bolts and anchor on Goat's Head Soup.

Climb up the blocky slab past two bolts (long slings here) towards the steep prow/arete above. Tackle the arete via the line of weakness, occasionally climbing different sides of the arete. Many holds appear loose, but are surprisingly solid. That said, I'd still tread with caution.

Minestony is the right most climb located a few feet away from where the approach trail meets the cliff.  Follow four bolts past a large block in a dihedral on this short route.

Indifferenc starts up a slab then gets steeper on finger pockets.  Clip and plug gear to steep upper section on some loose blocks and on to the anchor.

Shares a start with Great Lobster Dispute. Climb up past the first two bolts of that route (long slings here) and break out left onto the ledge. Around the arete to the left, follow the less-than-vert face and left-facing corner past more bolts and some looseness. Doesn't appear to get much traffic. One star for the length.

Start on the left side of the ledge, climb up blocky steps through a corner and continue on overhung bulges.

This project? is located on the far right end of the cliff and climbs a short, steep overhanging section of rock.  Look out for breaking holds on this one.

Head up the dirty slab as for the popular route, Great Lobster Dispute.  After clipping the 2nd bolt of Great Lobster Dispute, cut left and climb the far face of the gully.  The route is probably 5.8 to this point and you will be annoyed by the rope drag and wandering of this route.  Climb a vert wall on crimps, past a few more bolts to the chains (crux).

Climb dirty and loose blocks to the first bolt, then proceed up a slab until you reach a roof.  Here lies the crux!  Reach blindly into a hand/finger crack and pull the bulge.  Enter the crack for the next few moves until it ends.  A few more solid jugs will land you at the chains.

Good rock for the highway.  Sunny location, off the highway a little. Routes here were almost all established by Steve Garvey. Has seen a lot of abuse by dry toolers over the last couple years. Please don't do this, really a big bummer.
