Start in a corner about twenty feet right of Barbershop Shuffle, then move left onto a blunt arete and face-climb to the anchors. Supposedly the crux is at the ninth bolt, but it was less obvious where the crux was on this climb than on Barbershop Shuffle.

P1, 11+: Ascend some jugs to a ledge then continue up the face to a layback and the anchors. (8 Bolts)

P2, 11+/12-: Start on the face then cross over to the Overhung Tower. There are fixed draws on the tower.

Cool, well-protected slab climb. The first pitch (11a) is much better than the second (5.9). This route follows an obvious 's'-shaped crack, and there is a very obvious crux at the 4th bolt.

Fun route with a mixture of crack, face, and slab moves. Shares the same start as The Blunt Arete. Start in the open-book corner for the first 10 ft, then move into a crack along the face, clipping the 1st two bolts of Blunt Arete. After clipping the second bolt, move left around onto the main face and follow the left leaning flared finger crack until it dies out, placing small pieces for pro. Clip a bolt after the crack ends then pull the slabby finish to the anchors.

This is the bolted slab/face route about 25' to the left of Barbershop Shuffle.

A long, fun slab climb firing straight up the main face left of The Blunt Arete. This route shares the first 25ft of The Blunt Arete, then moves out left. A distinct technical crux half way through, but higher it begins tapping into your stamina.

This is the prominent left leaning crack just right of Barbershop Shuffle.

This is a fun route very worth doing if in the area (3 out of 5 stars). It follows a long broken left facing corner. It has 2 cruxy sections one at the bottom and one in the middle with easier enjoyable climbing throughout. The route takes mostly good gear but can be tricky at times. Also the rock is a bit friable in spots, as I don't think it gets a lot of traffic, but would clean up nicely with a bit more...so get on it. The pitch ends at a set of mussys on a great large comfy perch.  Rap off into the gully, our 70 got us all the way down with zero rope to spare.

"Reggae" ascends the nice wall right of the classic "Heavy Metal".
