to the right of z-cracks and Stan's roof. Start in the  cool finger crack dike, and stem up to a standard City runout finish, but on positive patina climbing.  Gear appears right when you start really wanting it in the horizontals.  from  the last gear, you can go right or left...left is a touch steeper, but bigger jugs. Fun route!

Either wedge yourself in the chimney and have some physical fun or pinch the arete to the right. either way, eventually reach a roof with great hand jams and pull it.

Z-Cracks is on the Northeast side of King of the Throne.  It is aptly named, as the crack forms some form of a Z.  The climb is only about 50 feet in length.  Jam up and slightly left, then up a steep right facing dihedral, then exit left in a bulging hand crack (the crux).  After pulling the hand crack, set an anchor from large cams.

There is a set of fixed anchors which rap off the opposite side of the formation.  Only one rope needed.

Jug World is on the Northeast side of King of the Throne.  It is the farthest continous crack system on the left side of the face.  The climb is only about 30-40 feet in length.  Jug haul your way up the face holds and sharp crack with the crux getting off the ground.  After gaining the ridge, traverse right to a horizontal crack (quite a ways) where an anchor can be set.

There is a set of fixed anchors which rap off the opposite side of the formation.  Only one rope needed.

A unique bouldery start using lots of opposition will get you to the cheese (jugs).  Once in the cheese you are trapped (it's much easier to continue up than to climb back down).  Originally free soloed.  Can be lead with gear or considered a V3 high-ball boulder problem.  Descend the 'King On the Throne' down-climb 30 feet climbers left of the route or rappel off anchors on the other side of the rock.
