Climb up the slab to the right of the large flake until you are just below the trees.  Now trend left on tricky slab moves up past the trees towards the anchor.

Climb up the left of a large flake and then up the slab to an overlap.  Climb through the overlap to more slab above towards the anchor

Tricky 5.10 slab that doesn't let up much until getting close to the top. Climb up the slab passing 3 bolts, move through the flake and then more slab leading to the anchors.

Climb straight up the obvious dike until reaching the more gradual slab leading you towards the anchor.

Follow the left-most line of bolts on the cliff.  A start with some tricky slab moves just after clipping the first bolt leads to slightly easier moves up to the anchor.

Climb up the tricky slab to a high first bolt.  Follow the dike shaped like an S up the steep slab until it mellows out and then straight up to the anchor

P1: Climb up the short, steep vertical wall out of the bushes.  Clip a hidden bolt on the ledge just out of sight from the ground. Climb up the slab to the right of the trees until you reach a good belay ledge on the left. Belay on gear, a tree may be possible. 

  P2: Climb up and left from the belay ledge placing gear and clipping a bolt.  Climb straight up towards the right end of an overlap.  Climb through the overlap and straight up to the anchor. 

  Rappel using 2 ropes from the top to the anchor on October Sky, then to the ground.

Bald Hill is a great spot to put your slab climbing skills to the test on a beautiful south facing granite cliff.  This cliff is fairly off the beaten path and because of that you will almost definitely be the only group there. 

  Routes here range from 5.6 to 5.10 and are mostly sport with bolted anchors at the top.  There are a few trad routes here as well. 

  The approach is fairly long.  I would plan on around an hour give or take a bit. Despite the long hike you can get on just about all of the routes here in a day. 

  I have heard that many routes stay wet for a bit after rain so be sure to keep an eye on the forecast before heading out.
