Find this route at the far left end of the rock.  Scramble up to a ledge and clip the bolt above the roof (don't blow the first clip).  Power through the roof with good holds on the left, then move up vertical rock past two more bolts the anchor.

This can be toproped by climbing easy 5th class rock up the backside to the anchor.

This is basically a high bouldering problem with much easier terrain above the second bolt.

Start on the next route left of

, making thin, balancy moves up the deceptive slab until you reach a jug from which you can clip the second bolt.  The difficulties end here - follow easy ground past 3 more bolts or so to the anchors on

This is not worth a special trip but is a feather in your cap on the way to achieving the elusive Mount-Boner-in-a-day.  It would be a fun beginner lead except for a bit of a runout between the last two bolts.

Go past the big roof on Mt. Boner, and locate a detached pillar above the slab.  This route ascends the slab directly below the detached pillar past three bolts, and then directly up the right side of the pillar.  The last bolt is about halfway up the pillar.  There are two bolts (or coldshuts) at the top for a TR.

Left of

Shaking the Pope's Hand

you will see an obvious 4 foot roof, which gets much bigger as you move down the crag.  This route goes straight up the right side of the roof, right at the point where it forms a dihedral above (yes, I know this is kind of a lame description, but it's clear when you're there).

A bouldery start leads to the first bolt (10+/11- unless you use the cheater's start on a boulder), then it is 5.8 past two more bolts to the roof and a no-hands rest.  Hardmen/women will just fire up and clip the next bolt mid-crux.  Softies will place a green Alien in a flake above the roof first.  Solve the strange crux sequence to surmount the roof, then go up on much easier ground past one more bolt to the chain anchor.  This is a fun route.

This is an excellent, well-protected beginner lead and is just plain fun to do whenever you're there.  Climb up the slab to the first bolt (probably the crux), and then follow easier ground past 3 more bolts to a water groove where the slab rears back to vertical.  Move up the water groove on huge incuts (and a birdbath) to a two-bolt anchor.

Climb 5.8 slab past four bolts to the right side of the dark colored roof.  Power over the left side of the roof on good sharp holds past 2 more bolts to the anchor.  This is not good to toprope due to the sharp edge of the roof, it is best to bring up the second.

Find this climb at the left side of the long roof and just right of "

, 5.7".  Climb up jugs past the first bolt, into a left facing dihedral, past the second bolt.  Then angle up and right past 2 bolts on good ledges.  Finish up by going staight up past a small bush to the anchor.

Move up the fairly steep and sustained slab past three bolts to the roof (5.10c). The first bolt is a bit on the high side in my opinion.  From here, you have two options.  (1) the natural line ascends easier ground on the right side of the flake past a couple more bolts (the same ones you just clipped topping out Confession); or (2) move slightly left and surmount the roof at a bolt.  I've never been able to pull the roof variation, but the the move is shown as 11c in the latest Gillett guide.  Have fun.

are three bolts above the large flake. A few moves from a sloping ledge for feet and a sharp, edgy hand hold to a fist-size knob marks the crux. The finish converges with the two above mentioned routes.
