On the right side of the "cove" (the back/right side of the Slicksides pit) is this slippery, technical testpiece. Slick feet and edges lead to a slopey slap and a tough topout. Very fun!

To the right of Digitalis on the left of a short face, scramble up blocky large holds easily.

An easy endurance route. Start on the horn at the left side of the pit and traverse on positive features into a technical corner. Reach an enormous rounded jug and then follow the vertical crack.

I actually have no idea what the grade is for this problem. It starts to the right of Slicksides crack, and to the left of the prow, at the usual start of Slicksides. Move up, left, and up, but more or less directly up, without using the Slicksides crack. 

  Report back and let me know how hard/good you feel that this line is.

That's right, traverse the whole pit. Left to right, or right to left.

Climb the crack starting in the pit. An old school toprope problem. 

Move up the less steep face to the left of Lunge or Plunge through blocky, uninspiring holds.

this is a route called Digitalis Prow a V5 it starts under the overhang moves out onto the tip of the nose with a right heel hook you throw for the dishy jug.

Sit Start with Right hand on the sloper side pull and left hand on the crimp. Go up using anything between the two vertical cracks that run from the ground to the top. Both vertical cracks are off.

The Slicksides Pit is one of the most unique climbing formations in the park, a giant Pothole 15 feet deep. It hold several classic highball boulder problems which are more frequently top-roped. Slidesides is a deviously slippery and challenging V0, next to the thrilling Lunge Or Plunge (V4).
