To the right of Exposure Arete is a crack system under a double overhang.  Follow the system of cracks up to the main overhang using pro in the crack to your left.  Ease right under a smaller triangle-shaped overhang to reach the upper face.  Climb to the top.  Descent is the walk off to your right/east.

The route starts at the bottom right side of the arete.  Climb the arete weaving your way upwards.  There are good cracks on top if you want to top rope this climb.  This is the best route on this formation.  No bolts anywhere on this formation.  Fantastic views from the top.  Walk off to the back, then to your right down an easy slope to the base of the route.

Buttress route with lots of finger/hand-sized pro.  More consistently vertical than End of a Good Day.  This is the buttress furthest to the right (east) before this wall ends at some short steps.  To the right of this buttress is the approach on the topo.

Immediately right of Wuhan Bats, facing southeast, this easy crimpy wall has one route through green and gray lichen rock.  This route is above and slightly right of the sawed-off tree stump.

On a cliff section directly below the start of Black Streak (carefully walk down the slope), you’ll find two tall pine trees and a vertical section of rock hiding in the shadows.  Look for small hidden ferns above a bed of pine needles.

First route right of Horizontal Crack Madness, on its own buttress.  Hand-size pro should keep you happy as you climb the center of the buttress.

A romp up horizontal ledges, just right of the Mystery Buttress route on the east face of Mystery Buttress.

On the vertical face to the right of Cougar Cave arete.  Worth doing.

Low angle climb.  Aim for a flat bush on a horizontal ledge in the middle of the route, climb parallel cracks upwards to the top.

This route is the first on Exposure Arete Wall (further east of Cougar Cave area).  This route eats up cams in lots of finger cracks and some hand cracks.  This route is on the south-facing left side of this crag above some raspberry bushes.  It is comfortably left of the death gully.  It follows a thin vertical crack to a wider vertical crack running dead straight to a ledge left of the overhang and then up obvious features to the top.  You can find good natural anchors in cracks at the top.  Descend by hiking uphill until you hit trees, then angle right and down grassy slopes to the base of the arete formation.

First route on Cave Buttress.  Immediately to the right of the large cave (you could bivy in it).

Left of Black Streak is a white overhang, and left of this is an inverted V crack system.  Climb the left crack upwards to the right of a small bush, to an interesting cleft right of the overhang.  From here, you have good climbing to the top of the route.

On the arete of a smooth topped buttress.  This route has 3 main parts separated by distinct horizontal cracks running to the left of the route.

There’s a route here.  On the arete right of the cave.  Not very memorable.

Comfortably right of the death gully, this route is in the middle of the west side of the face, left of Exposure Arete.  Climb discontinuous cracks angling slightly right towards a cleft in the rock above you.  Halfway up there is a purple Metolius cam with its little violet sling swaying in the wind.  Descend by walking uphill until you hit trees, then angle right and down a grassy slope/steps down to the base of the arete.

The start of Black Streak is vertical to slightly overhanging.  Climb up narrow black streaks to a series of vertical cracks.  This route eats up cams.  From a small stance halfway up, follow the arete to the top of the cliff.  Best route on the wall.

Begin climbing left of a big overhanging roof, heading up the obvious vertical cracks.

To the left of End of a Good Day, climb a deep cleft between 2 buttresses using mostly the right wall as you ascend.  Four clumps of vegetation greet you in the crack separating 2 buttresses.  A good first lead for a beginner!

If you follow the Black Streaks cliff band to the right, you come to a series of discontinuous ledges above you.  Keep moving right.  Wuhan Bats is on the first independent buttress to your right.  Climb the arete/main bulge of the buttress.
