This is a short route - 7 or 8 moves.

Sit start with a hand match on a ledge on the south face just outside of the weird scooped out feature on the rock. Crank up to a good ledge.  Throw for a slopey knob.  Traverse right to some big jugs.  Top out.

Start on two smaller crimps for your right and left hands. Get a good left foot hold with a right foot flag. Make a quick move into the jugs, establish your feet, and top out on left side of the concave, 'bearhug' incut.

If someone wants to claim the FA, let me know, and I'll credit you! (People probably have climbed this but maybe not this variation.)

Begin with a low start with your butt to the ground and your hands on low crimps. Move into a bump crimp until you get to slopey skin grab. Then cross your right hand over into a sidepull crimp, then a bump out left with a decent crimp, and throw up to a large jug. Finish with an easy topout!

Start in a compression-like stance with your left hand underneath the lip on a slopey catch and your right hand on a good, sidepull sloper. Place your feet on good incuts on a boulder, or right heel hook match start with your right hand. From there, move up to good, left hand crimp, and get your right hand on a crimp above on gritty edge. Catch your right hand on top of an arete near the grit part, move both of your feet to where your right foot has been residing. Match with your left hand, and move your left hand into a gaston crimp. Swing your feet/left foot over to a left, good, gritty foot hold. Move up the arete on the  middle of the rock, and top out.

If anyone wants to claim an FA for this, I'll be happy to change it! (I just haven't seen any chalk on it, so assumed it hasn't been sent yet.)
