Edge your way up the slab then follow the crack by either face climbing or hand/knuckle jamming.

Crux is the first move pulling from underneath the overhang. A few ways to do it. Holds are decent to begin with in that section but then pulling from underneath there's only an awkward sloper pulling up to a few crimps. There are lots of hard schist protrusions that make for amazing feet and hand holds.

Crux is a section of sparse holds in which you have to stay very balanced and pulled into the wall so as to use well placed feet and stand up to reach the next series of holds.

A technical balanced start brings you to a generous mid section.  Above the large horizontal crack in the mid section the holds get slopey and the moves more demanding.  A few more, smaller horizontal cracks send you to the finish.  Crux is about 3/4 the way up, a few moves past half.

Pull the roof of the large mouth at the bottom to the first horizontal, climb slabby face then try hard to stay out of crack climb to the left, maybe share one hold or a gear placement, optional variations to avoid any and all crux moves. Fun climb. 

The overhanging part can be a bit strong but the rest of the climb is a relatively easy crack climb.   Hand and knuckle jam straight up!

The Webb Traverse starting at the far right to the upper left. You begin on Bottom Feeder to gain the horizontal crack, follow through on a diagonal over Carolina Steam to reach the major horizontal that spans the cliff. Gear is tricky so take advantage of the vertical cracks as you pass. Find your way over to Lost Along the Way/Rubble Bucket and top out.Get the most outta a short wall.

To the right of Carolina Steam crack is a blank face with nubby crimps and fancy footwork slab climb. . Send it home with a rewarding "roof" pull. PG13 lead for the blank bottom. 

Follow the arrete on the right most side just before the rock is covered in moss. Much more desperate then you would think. 

Start on blank face with a low horizontal crack to slopey crimp rail, slightly angle right  then pull through the roofs straight to the top. Will be very enjoyable once cleaned up some more. No historical record of this place, unknown FA.

Rock predominantly Schist with layers of amphibolite and gniess and part of the Collinsville Formation. The rock is gray and silvery with medium to coarse grains and dark, fine to medium grained amphiholite and hornblende gniess.

 Blue Trail section is just that: up the blue trail. There is a cliff, about 40 ft. across and 50 ft tall. Blue trail cliff is mostly sunny as it goes above the tree line a little bit. 

  It has really interesting grooves inlaid into it which makes for tiny sharp crimps galore.  It's also positive to an almost imperceptible degree so it's not hard climbing if you just stay balanced forward. 

  There is a swampy pool twenty some feet from the base of the cliff so watch out for skeeters! 

  To the climber's left of the cliff there are a few boulders with very difficult routes on them.
