This route consists of slabby moves mixed with small vertical faces. People tend to climb right and around the first steep section (5.6), if so they are out of sight of the belayer and need to understand "slack" and "take" commands to the belay. The exposure near the top is quite nice, especially with the recent logging and becomes the crux of the climb. There are anchor bolts at the base for the belayer to clip into. You can also access this climb from the top if you hike up the secret cleft.

Fun climb. Same start as spinnaker but with same first clip then follows what few bolts there are to left ending at the prominent sharp prow in the rock on top. The fist third of the climbing is low angle class IV with protection on the three crux steep or slight overhangs. If you are not judicial in you clips and choose to clip bolts on the lower angle bottom third rope drag will become an issue towards the top. Top anchors are easily accessible for toproping via the secret cleft trail.

Lots of big knobs on the way up. This route is protected with a single bolt that is also used as a directional when toproping. There is a single crux move at the bolt which is in sight of the bottom belay. Climbing to the right of this bolt seems to be easier for people to make than to the left. Past crux follow the path of least resistance to the summit. If needed you could probably sling a chicken head for protection on your way up.  Top anchors are second from the right.

Find two belay anchors on the belay ledge on the right side of the rock just above the third landing. climb about 25 feet to head wall past a bolt. At the headwall climb right around and on top the headwall. From on top the headwall follow the bolt line to the top. This is a fun knobby route climbed as either an approach scramble or 5.0 climb has great exposure. A great way to introduce people to the South Comb is to take climb Stone Ship and then hike the knife ridge trail out through the Secret Cleft.
