Start sitting with a hand on both sides of the prow. Most people begin with a low left foot on the overhang and a right heel on the right side of the prow. Follow it to the top and mantle.

There

Start low in the crack on the face. Plenty of low feet to start. Follow the crack up and left and top out there.

Start on the only obvious hold (a gaston/sidepull with a tiny crimp on top). Feet are there but not obvious. The sloping arete is on but the ledge around the corner left should not be used.

Stand start from the left side of the shelf and use slab dishes, smears, and a sidepull to get going. Head up to the bulge and shelf and mantle. An uncontrolled fall might head off the initial shelf to the ground below so be mindful of your DOF. Exiting and mantling right is harder but keeps you over your pad. Exiting left would increase your fall severity.

There are three problems back here. Gummy Bear and Huggy Bear are both short but stout problems, and Bearly There is a fun little slab.
