Just left of the Oyster Bar proper is this 5 bolt route. The first bolt can be clipped by leaning off a boulder on the right instead of climbing up to it. Two bolts of steep climbing lead to the top of a large flake/horn type feature. From here easy moves lead to the fourth bolt, the third bolt seems a ways right and difficult to get to / bother clipping. Fun moves with more holds than are visible from the ground lead to the top. 2 bolt anchor, rappell the Oyster Bar routes to descend or downclimb way right, much better to rappel.

The Boner Donor is a fairly intimidating route starting with a small roof move. The pro is good however, so cast off and check it out!

This is a link-up of the two Oyster Bar routes for those who've done everything there already or are looking for something a little harder.

for three bolts and then cut right to finish on the last two bolts of

The Oyster Bar

. The hardest moves come in a thin section as you transition between the two climbs.

The lefthand route on the Oyster Bar proper. Fun, thin edging trends up and left to an intersection with the arete. Going out on the arete makes the climb only moderately easier as the harder moves are lower. This route has maybe slightly harder moves than Oyster Bar, but is not as sustained. I didn't give it an "s" rating but getting to and clipping the 2nd bolt involves the thinnest climbing on the route and a fall while clipping the 2nd bolt would definitely be poor.

The righthand route in the Oyster Bar, sustained thin edging up a vertical face on excellent quality patina and knobs make this a very fun and reasonably pumpy (for the length of the route) outing.

This route is easy to see when you are doing the real routes at the Oyster Bar.  I hear that you can wander a bit around the bolts to make the route easier.  Following the bolt line will provide some harder than they look moves.  The moves up and past the 3rd bolt are the crux.

This climbs the obvious chimney just right of the Oyster Bar routes. Not a classic route but a fun diversion from the crimping to be had nearby. Additonally, this is a good warm spot to get out of the wind usually. Half a star out of five.
