Far left side: start about 12' left of a large pine tree growing against the base of the buttress. Climb the white face up a crack and corner system that ascends diagonally to the left. Follow this up to the big roof and skirt it on the left or right side. The roof is actually the bottom of a huge truck-size boulder perched on top of a huge ledge (the Millennium Falcon?)- follow this ledge to the very left end then climb straight up and over the left end of the top roof.

Far left side: start on the large block midway between the center and left pine trees. Climb straight up the blocky white face to the medium roof about 2/3 of the way up. Climb up and over three roofs and head straight for the top. 5.7 variation:  If you're not feelin' roofy, climb around it on the left or right side.

Start 6' left of the pine tree at the base of the buttress. Climb to the right of a small pine tree and up the shallow dihedral, through the short chimney, and over the bulge at the left end of the big roof.

follow the easy gully on the right side of buttress to the top

Start at the middle pine tree at the base of the buttress. Climb directly up gray ledges and yellow face then up and over the middle of big roof at the top.

Right side of arete: start 4' left of right pine tree and climb to ledge about 10' up. The easy 5.0 gully is directly ahead. From here, climb the right edge of the arete on blocks and ledges. 5.9 variation: layback up the crack and over the roof to the left of the main route. 

Start at the base of the stand-alone buttress about 50' south of the main buttress. Climb directly to the top following the path of least resistence.

Start 5' left of the pine tree at the base and climb diagonally left, then up and over the center-left side of the roof.

If you like pulling over scary looking roofs on big jugs, this is the place for you.
