Black Scratch goes up the steep side facing the S Wall. You climb into a scoop, then do a hard press down and then a long reach to the top. -Duane-

Black Scratch

The Gill Problem

Tree face

Finger Tip Trip

Right edge

Overhanging corner

Trippin'

Climbs the loose overhanging corner right of finger tip

Improbable mammoth rubbed face on the west side of the Gill Boulder. True style is to start with a run and jump to a slick hold, then work through good holds to the top. A variation on this route is to lean out to the high start hold off of the boulder just to the right of the line (V2-3).

Climbs the jugs on the side of the first flat top boulder facing the trail next to the tree. This is also the exit off the boulder

Climbs the overhanging rounded side via razor pockets. Stand start matched in a sharpish pocket above head level. Pull up and move upwards on nice rails to the top.

Follows the corner on the right side of the wall with black scratch

In between Tree Face and Finger Tip Trip, high on the eastern face there is a crimp rail. Jump up to this rail, paste your feet and make a couple of hard moves to the top. Sharp and Painful similar to Finger Tip Trip.

Shade sun mixed for all day fun. This is the tallest flat-top boulder near the parking lot. Back in the day climbers would sleep on top of it on warm nights. Three climbable sides and one "gill side" hence the name.
