This cool route climbs face and thin crack on the left edge of the face. The crux move on this pitch is exiting the thin crack and was where the first ascent party used one aid placement (5.10 A1). The second pitch climbs face past 3 bolts straight above.

Pretty good rock, but minimal to no protection.  I thought this was the chimney to get to Todd's climb Mr. Simpkinton climb which is actually on far right side of face.  This climb is cool just left of the climb The Inauguron.  This climb would not be that great if it wasn't for being 200lbs and exiting a small little cave at top.

Begin on a small sloping ledge at the left end of the crag and climb in a right diagonal direction past the first two bolts. Continue, more or less, straight up past a short crack and two more bolts to a ledge. Crux moves on thin edges / knobs occur past the 4th bolt. The second pitch ascends an arching crack and face (5.8 R).

Start off the same platform as

heading towards the womb-like feature to the right of that route.  Either stem directly though flare or alternately, climb to the right.  Both options meet at an overlap with small crack.  Pumpy climbing continues through the roof, laybacking the crack (really just an offset at this point) until the crack opens up, becoming easy jamming.  Follow the easy jams up, angling over to the anchor whenever it seems to make sense.

Begin on the far right side of the upper right hand section of The Inauguron, below and right of a hand size crack that doesn't reach the ground. Of the several routes on this part of the face, this is probably the best.

(Pitch 1) Face climb up past 2 bolts and make a long stretch (11c) into the crack which is followed (10b/c) to a ledge.(Pitch 2) Up the short arching crack to the summit (9).

Head left along top, then back down right along a ramp.

Fun slab climbing past 5-6 bolts lead to a large ledge with a two bolt anchor. One bolt on first pitch added by subsequent party without permission of FA party. From the ledge chose one of the three 5.8 finish cracks. This route languished for years with one bolt and a sun-bleached sling. I have no idea who started it (Houser,...Laeger?).

This excellent climb goes up the right side of the Inauguron Dome. It starts out with some tricky moves on a slab up and left, and then goes up steeper rock past bolts, and angles right across the face to  the bottom of a crack system.  There is a 2 bolt belay station below the crack.  Climb the crack to the top  (5.8).  This is the only climb on the Inauguron Dome which isn't R rated.

Couple of hand jams and very careful stemming and pulling get you to the crux mantle on a very questionable piece of rock.  Be very careful and have your belayer wear a helmet
