Easy start leads to a very slabby crux right before the anchor. Nothing too crazy on this route because of how short it is, but a good introduction to insecure slab climbing. I'm sure you know by now climbing once at Granite Point, trust your feet.

Start up the large edges and move into technical crimping.  Move right over blank terrain and into the final slab. Fun micro route finding at the top.

Recently rebolted this is a great technical climb.  The crimps - as the name implies - are damn sharp, but good footwork takes away most of the pain.  Some people lunge at the end of the crux, some people find the "mono-nob" and do it static.  Either way its fun.

Sort of a one-move wonder, the crux is grabbing the razor crimp about 2/3rds of the way up. Someone tore off a large edge near the top practicing aid-climbing, but I redid it on toprope and it's still the same grade. Took me nearly 14 months to unlock it, IIRC first ascent was November 1996.

A sport route that starts with a right traverse with poor feet then up the prominent left facing flake system. The crux is down low on the traverse.

Nice quick flaring crack. Starts on nice ledges up into a right-facing flake/crack. After the crack, head up and right across the slab face around the 2nd or 3rd bolt of Insecurity Issues 2 - clipping them along the way. Finish up to the anchors of Insecurity Issues or top out.

starts above the ledge and traverses up left using the underclings.  Pulling over the bulge at the top is the crux for most.

Start on the left side of the flake and climb to the large ledge. Follow the crack on the left to the top.

Climb upwards on horizontal ledges to anchors over the top.  More of a boulder problem than a route.

Start with Hand Over Hand but traverse right to the first bolt of Pendulum.

Follow the obvious seam to the ledge, traverse left to gain access to another seam to the anchors.  The crux comes about half way up as you make the traverse left on good feet, but very thin hands.  Stay aware toward the top and with all of the routes at Granite Point, trust your feet.

Start on the left side of the flake, climb to the ledge then climb the arete on the left between Steroids to Heaven (bolted route to the left) and Ballscratcher (crack on the right).

This route starts out left with a V3ish traversing boulder problem to the first bolt.  The start is about 15 feet to the left of where the first bolt is.  The first bolt is about 20 feet up, and once you clip it your set.  In my opinion the crux comes right after clipping the first bolt and then moving up to a small crimp.

Start on a set of left leaning flakes then up to a thin seam on small holds past the third bolt. Great movement throughout with occasional good rests.

A tricky route with some great movement.  Go direct at the top avoiding the easier finish of Pendulum.

This route does not use any holds on the corner adjoining Layback Crack.

Takes large pro if done Trad. Fun toprope. Ive introduced many friends to climbing via this route.

First 2 bolts traverse right on small finger holds and poor feet into a flake system (to the left of Rotten Crack flake).  Cruxy move transitioning from traverse onto flake.  Continue up flake to right trending bolt line (left trending bolts are Pieta) onto slab with thin/balancing moves (2nd crux) to top.

A tricky start leads to good climbing.  Footwork is essential

Look for the paint with the routes name. 2 bolts on top make for a good top rope anchor. A bit smeary, but ledges make for good breaks.

Start up Rotten Crack but at 3rd bolt veer right through bolts 4-6 (black streak) up crimpy slab to good holds once you pass the crux. Clipping 5th bolt can be difficult if you are on the shorter side.  Crux is 5th to 6th bolt.  You can either stay just left of 5th bolt and do a dynamic move to the next hold or you can traverse to the right of the bolt and do it static.
