This is a challenging and worthy route!

Crux comes just below the top, where you have two option: tweak your fingers into flared blue tcu sized jams or slap out to the arete just left of the crack for an exciting and athletic finish. Of course, those with large digits only have the later option. You don't really need tape, as Binghams guide suggests- its not that rough. This thing feels a hell of a lot longer than 40 feet after you've climbed it!

A fantastic route, long and sustained with thin face moves and an airy finish.  Start in the crack and work up right onto the face.  This route is located on the Spud Wall, and is directly across from the trail junction between the East face of Parking Lot Rock and Morning Glory Spire.  Two ropes to get down.

Start up an easy pillar / corner to a wide crack on the right side of a large right facing dihedral. The crack itself is not actually in the back of the dihedral but more on the right face of the dihedral. Climb the wide crack to reach a large ledge located atop the left wall of the starting dihedral. Using large holds transfer out of the start dihedral to gain the ledge. Take a depth breath and stare up at the imposing right facing corner above sporting 4 bolts. Using a mix of THIN face holds on the right side of the corner and the extremely tight crack in the back of the corner, balance your way the the top the feature. Exit the right side of the corner at it's top and climb the easy terrain above for a substantial distance with no pro to a chained anchor.

THis route is located just left of Redtail.  It climbs the arete just left of the black streak.  Begin on block ten feet left of Red Tail.  Do some slabby climbing through the first few bolts then clip up to the steep feature arete.  Fight constant barn dooring as you pinch, lieback and edge your way to the chains.  Might as well climb it.

A really great sport route that was described by Todd Skinner around 1987 as "the best sport climb in America." While I doubt that was true, it is easy to understand the enthusiasm the gregarious Skinner issued toward this climb. Power underclings with smears for feet follow the arch to a stance where you then climb direct and surmount the roof to the face above. You then essentially follow the strange vertical white quartz dike surrounded by great patina edges that later become huge jugs.

This pumpy route is slightly harder than its classy neighbors. (Redtail and Sudden Pleasure) These three classics would make a great three star morning in the shade. The cruxes are well protected with bolts and gear, but they are still mentally taxing since you are climbing liebacks on the bottom half of the route.

Watch out for the prairie falcon in the nest just right of the route. You could add a letter grade, if you are getting dive bombed at the crux.

This is the obvious Right facing corner on the south end of the west side of Rabbit Rock.  It is a rather interesting mountaineering type of route that encourages creativity.

P1: Climb the corner left of redtail (11a) cross redtail short of the top of the corner to the large ledge.  Belay at the base of the main corner.

P2: Follow the corner (slightly dirty and continue straight up in or out of the crack as you please.  At the end of the crack continue just right of the large roof(chimney) until you are comfortable to scramble on.
