The crux of this climb is at the very beginning. From the adjacent boulder, grab the left-facing sidepull, find a good right hand and  then immediately pull through an overhang to get onto Peeper's Rock. A left heel hook can help. From this opening move it's about 15 feet down to the ground/tide. Don't look down if the thought of that fall scares you.

The main face above the first bolt is much easier, until an interesting move or two between the last bolt and the anchor. If you're stuck, look to the right of the last bolt to find better hands.

The moves off the deck are the fun/hard part - rope or otherwise, it's a little invigorating to step of a ledge and onto an overhang above a treacherous fall.

One can start this route from the sand up the cave below, but this adds a V6 bouldering problem (that is very difficult to protect) before the main start of the climb.

Naked and Afraid

Peeping Tom

Plenty of sideways movement, non-obvious and sometimes greasy hands make this one of the toughest 5.9's in the Bay Area. Also, it is a tad bit run out, so it's not a comfortable lead unless you onsight 5.10+.

The route is located opposite of the ocean, so it doesn't depend on the tide.
