Start up the hand crack, then move up past one bolt in the dihedral (crux; note that it is also possible to lieback up the right edge of the dihedral but that would be a bad fall), follow the right slanting diagonal crack for a bit, then move up easy ground past one more bolt to the bolted anchor.

Here's To The Good Stuff

High Noon

9 to 5

Precision

Rock Around The Clock

Follow the upward left diagonal ramp, then climb up a short headwall and over a lip to a prominent plate/chickenhead.  Continue up the slab past a thin horizontal crack (pin) to the anchor.

The overall climbing is relatively easy, but pro is generally sparse and thin.  A decent climb if you want to get in a bit more mileage for the grade, otherwise a little on the chossy side.

Follow the bolts - 5 bolts up, then traverse right (crux) for 3 bolts to a crack. Either continue along the crack (gear) to its end or (better) continue up the last 2 bolts of Precision to the bolted anchor (rap rings)

Start by climbing to the first bolt of Rock Around The Clock. After passing the bolt, where Rock Around the Clock moves left along a series of flakes/edges, instead climb straight up past some bulges to another bolt. A move or two up a slab brings you to a right trending crack, follow this till you can step up onto the slab above, and another bolt. Climb the slab past two more bolts then climb directly through the roof on jugs past a final bolt, then up the plated face above to the anchor for Rock Around the Clock. Either climb the second pitch of Rock Around the Clock or rap (30m rap)

Follow the dike all the way to the anchors (shared with Clockwise and Precision). Gear is somewhat tricky to find and place in the first parts of the climb. Crux is where the dike tends more vertical.

One of the coolest routes in the area and my favorite on the cliff. Other than a couple of pieces of gear at the start and one up higher this is basically a sport route. A bit of crack climbing leads to steeper rock on reachy jugs. As the angle eases  the holds get smaller. Continuous smearing and crimping among plentiful bolts leads to a right trending crack (yellow C3 size) and soon a good rest. One last harder than it looks/don't blow it now move leads to straight forward climbing and soon the anchor(2 big Metolius rap hangers).

P1 - after a couple of powerful moves getting to the first bolt via horizontal cracks/edges, follow the diagonally left trending series of flakes plates past bolts and small gear.  Step up and over the last plate to a slab and bolt (harder) or climb out the left side of the last plate and go up on easier ground (should still be able to clip the last bolt).  Pass a lip/roof on the left to some thin face/friction moves before gaining a good slot and traversing up and right to the bolted anchor.

This is an awesome pitch that really tests a variety of skills for the grade (10a).

P2 - traverse up and left from the anchor across a short face (5.8/9) to a diagonal crack, then continue to the top along easy plates.  This pitch has no bolts and requires a gear anchor and short scramble/walk-off to the North (see topo pic).
