Start up a blank wall past a few knobs, then up past a detached flake feature about the size of a flattened climbing pack. Thankfully it is 100% bolt protected because a cam under this flake would probably pop it off in a fall. This climb is fairly sustained, as compared to some of the others that let up in the first few bolts. Continue up fun climbing to the Mussy Hooks, a little to the left as you reach lower angle rock. This anchor is shared with The Rubicon Trail. Note: 70M rope only.

Climb the easier ground between the bolted routes straight up to the shared anchor.

You can start from the ground or you can step across from the boulder for an easier start closer to the bolt. The slope eases midway which is why there are few bolts up high. There are clippable Mussy hooks at the top to lower off of.

A fun easy sport route up a fine slab of granite.

Niko Nakamura saw some bolts high up and thought they were a rebolted runout route, but they were old lonely loose bolts which led to a scary downclimb by Niko. The bolts were fixed, more added, along with a sport anchor at the top. Its now a nice straight forward, fun sport climb up the slab.

Named after the famous 4x4 trail that starts at the end of Ice House Road at Loon Lake and runs overland 22 miles to Lake Tahoe.

Fun climbing through a dike and straight up the slab. The start to and above the first bolt is the crux - a spot is helpful until the first bolt is reached.  The difficulty lets up quite a bit as the rock becomes more featured and less steep.  The anchors (Mussy Hooks) are a little to the right as you near the end just above some large horizontal dikes. The anchor is shared with Slick Slice of Slab.

Just plain fun.  Most right of three climbs off the same top anchor under a shallow roof.
