Low start on the vertical face just opposite 'diatribe'. Follow crimps up, and top out just left of the boulder sitting atop this one.

Gator Skin Traverse

Low start on right end of the fortress cluster. Follow slopey holds left and up to a hard slopey topout.

On the right end of the alligator scale sandstone, start low in the crack on move up the crack/ramp before topping out at top of the ledge and exiting through the "doorway" as per Diatribe. Combine this with Alligator Traverse for a V3 linkup.

Start low and right on super unique alligator armor like sandstone that seems to be pasted onto the normal granite. Move left aiming for the crack in the overhang. Surmount this and climb 1o more feet of V0 slab and traverse off left to safety.

Start in the deep corner dihedral crack at the far left end of the Gator Skin Traverse. Stem in the corner and waddle your way up to the topout ledge.

SDS on the Obvious side pull/rail far back in the slot between the two boulders (left wall). Stand up into some small crimps. (watch head on opposite wall) traverse left and out on small crimps to another side pull/rail. Reach out with left hand to small, sharp, two-finger pocket. Once under obvious crack towards top of boulder, climbing up sharp crimps to crack. Top out using nice juggy boulder lip.

 Down climb on opposite side. Bringing a pad over helps. Watch out for barbed wire on down climb side.

Hug the improbable column through some cruxy moves, get feet established above the overhang and do the slopey exciting topout.

Kind of an eliminate of Diatribe, but it's good enough to stand alone. Traverse the low sandstone "gator skin" from either side. It's trickier than it looks!

Huge stuff, way too big to boulder some of it. Most of the problems top out the left or right end of the cluster.
