A wicked little route towards the far left of the area.  Very powerful moves and a steep pocket crux make for a stiff climb overall.  The second to last bolt is placed in such a way that it's an extremely burly clip. 

  I thought it was a little tougher than .13a, but due to its short height it may be accurate.  Very bouldery. 

  Stick clip the first bolt.

To the right of Lamoidian Power Dance is a sport route with cold shuts.  Begin by using the crack of Hang it Loose and clipping bolts to your right.  Once you clip the second bolt move into the traversing crimpy crux.  It's over quickly and you move into fun larger moves on bigger holds.  Quite unsustained but fun nonetheless.

Crux can be getting from the ground past the fourth. Technical crux 3rd to past fourth.

Interesting, technical climbing to an awkward, powerful crux at the top.

This short route revolves around a powerful sequence into, and out of, an oblong pocket.    Try to conserve energy through the awkward and semi-difficult moves low. You will want to feel fresh coming into the crux. . .   After sticking the crux throw, make a difficult clip and crank up onto the ledges using solid holds. Simple, but unprotected climbing will take your through the last 15 feet to the anchor.

This is a really unique route, definitely worth checking out. It also feels like a bit of a sandbag at 12d.

 There are likely a few ways to go about it, but the method I found climbs like a comp boulder. I recommend bringing a kneepad and some shoes with some rubber on top.

Easy crack and a slab lead up to a steep section on crimps and edges.  This is a really fun route.

Just left of 'Dat be up the butt Bob' is a fun gear route and one of the first routes put up at the Northern Point. Stem up the crack to the prominent roof then jam and pull through super fun holds to a rest cave. Clip the bolt protecting the crux and work your magic through a tricky and reachy sequence of moves. The climbing eases up top. The addition of the crux bolt has taken away the original R rating. 

Left of hang it loose. this route has one crux that starts on an under cling past a roof.

The hardest line at Northern Point! This is a linkup of Made in the Rain and The Heathen, connecting the crux of both routes back to back with no rest. 

 Short, bouldery, and incredibly resistant. 

 Recommend using a triple draw at the last bolt on the lip of the roof.

20 m feet upriver from Torrid Zone, Flower Power starts on the arete off the large block and then cuts right through fractured rock and up the corner.

Two entertaining cruxes split by a rest. It rises above two sage bushes likely older than all of us so be kind on the raise and the lower.

A worthy Northern Point route.  Begin off the boulder and make some balancy moves on the slab.  Follow good holds for a while to a crux in the middle of the route on small edges, pockets, sidepulls, and slopers to an engaging finish that you keeps you on your toes to the anchor.  

Route between Metamorphic Dawning and Jungle Fever.  short crack with hand jams that pulls a bulge

Climb easy beginning to awkward moves on some slopers and sidepulls

Following the bolt line up the bulge directly to the right of "Woman in the Meadow", this climb starts with a hard and somewhat awkward boulder problem, which goes from the ground to around the first bolt. After clipping the second bolt, the climbing eases by at least a number grade for a fairly straightforward climb up to the anchors of "Woman in the Meadow", with which this climb shares the last bolt.

Fun moves on big holds with good feet.  This is the most popular and the best 5.11 at the point.  Expect nice flow and a fun crux that is made much easier with good technique.

Climb up an easy flake, then lieback or jam through a roof and fist-crack. Beach yourself on the bulge using a big ledge and then enjoy easy climbing to the anchors. A little awkward but worth doing.

Although short, this route brings another unique experience on Smith basalt. Start with a fun flake, move up and left to some shattered jugs, then cut right on a small rail to the rounded aréte. Make a couple big moves on good holds and get set up to finish on a pocketed slab. 

A left leaning crack leads to face climbing to the finish.

tough beginning moves on slabby section leads to jugs then crux on the bulge.

Linkup: The Heathen into Made in the Rain avoiding the crux of both routes.

 Adds a tricky transition moving left but still climbs well. Good fun!

This short route provides a pump.  Start up a detached flake to an obvious roof, with a couple good stances between stemming and jamming thru to the exit moves, which continue in the 5.10 range.  Most everyone topropes this one from the two anchors on top the rim.

A few moderates and a good handful of tough faces on great basalt.  Like the rest of the Northern Point routes they're a bit on the short side, but since the whole area gets shade in the afternoon it's a popular place.
