The right of two climbs just below the railing at the top.  Steep, but with positive hands to give the relatively low rating.

On the right side of the upper tier is an obvious dihedral with a steep thin section exiting to he left. Above the thin section one may go up the crack, traverse left , or go just left and over the roof, in order of increasing difficulty. Exiting right before the thin section makes the route much easier.

20 feet right of the Stonewall Squeeze is a large crack system starting from an alcove. Move up the left crack systems to a bolt and pin belay used on the first ascent. Continue up passing one bolt and over the roof on thin holds, belaying at the top of the Little Dihedral. No reason why this route can't be done in one pitch.

15 feet up the Left Chimney, move left onto an aesthetic open book, making an exposed move around left at the top. Continue up and establish a belay.

Obvious line on the right side of the steep gully. Make full use of the ledges and cracks on either side, not staying strictly in the crack. Belay at the second tree on the gully's left side. A harder, enjoyable variation tot he right eliminates the tight chimney.

This is the first prominent wide crack as you come down the west face from the Railing Routes. A face variation starts fifteen feet left, between the flakes and joins the crack above. Near the top of the crack, follow a ledge right and move over the bulge on good holds. Easy face leads to the top. Doing it in two pitches may ease rope drag.

Begin climbing in a tree at the base of the face around the corner from the Green Dihedral, taking any of several variations up to a prominent thin crack, then up to a belay.

Just left of the Left Chimney, face climb to the large roof and hand traverse up the left edge. Face climb to a crack, climb this and continue up to easier ground.

The left of two climbs just below the railing at the top of the peak.  Follow a thin crack up to the top.  head left toward the top for the 5.9 route.  Head right for a stiffer variation.

Variation to Little Dihedral. At the top of the dihedral, move right to the roof and over lichen covered rock to the top.

A large, steep gully separates the upper tier, with a large white face to the right. The Left Chimney takes the fissure on the left side of this gully.

Fifty feet downhill from the railing routes, climb a right facing stepped dihedral. Follow the face above, up a seam to the top.

Nice face climb left of the Green Dihedral. Begin at the right end of the face, pass two bolts to a sloping ledge, traverse left 15 feet, then pst two more bolts to the top.
