This climb has a combination of crack and face moves. The features are discontinuous, but the moves are fun if not fluid. There are plenty of options to make the route harder, the most obvious being pulling the roof on crimps at the top. The 5.7 version skirts left of the roof and out the wide fists crack at the top.

Make a couple of easy face moves to reach the right leaning fist crack 10' or so off the deck.  Work upwards through some choss being VERY careful to avoid loose rock. You will soon find yourself at the base of a steep off-width crack.  Proper off-width technique is not all that necessary as there are lots of holds for hands and feet.

This is a fun clean route, with the crux near the top.  It is easily identified by the large offwidth at mid-hight.  The route is on the left edge of the face.

Nice little crux right off the ground with small crimpers all they way to the top.  While it is on to use the crack at the top, staying on the face holds is very fun.

This route starts in the prominent right leaning crack at the bottom.  Climb this until about mid height then traverse left under the roof to obtain the crack and face that will let you pass to the top.

Climb the obvious right leaning crack flake. As of 8/21/16, the blocks that appear that they could possibly be loose high on the route are in fact not loose.

Generally shady and not that crowded.  This is a couple of hundred feet down from the closed area.  While not secluded, as the trail runs right across the top, you won't see many people if you sling shot the routes.
