This is a short but sweet line on the right side of the crag.  As with the other lines here, this one needs to clean up a tad, but it's quality!

[Beta Warning...Don't read below if you're an onsight stickler.]

Begin at a medium pine tree next to the cliff.  Make easy moves up into the crack and place some pro.  Now make thinner moves right, following the crack, to a marginal rest and some good gear.

Now tackle the thin crack and hollow flake, placing passive gear only, for a couple moves up to a detached (but solid) flake.  This lower half is exciting, the mental crux of the route.  Surmount the flake and establish yourself on some small but good feet and clip the bolt.  The crack moves are over.  Make the crux move and finish at the anchor.  Too fun!

, just below a ledge 2 small pines are growing out of. Scramble up to this ledge, and climb up the left side of a flake eventually reaching right to the other side of flake to pull past a hard section. Now follow cracks right on the arete all the way up to a roof, reach up and right to a jug, and swing right onto the face and up to the anchors on

(by the bent pine tree) and lower. There is still lots of lichen on this climb making judicious foot placement necessary.

This is a very high quality route in terms of rock quality and movement, and it's a nice long pitch.  The "5.7+" rating is from the first ascentionist.  I would call this climb solid 5.8.  Once this route cleans up, it will rival quality mixed routes up and down the Front Range.

Climb the starting slab past two bolts, then pull the easy roof on the left.  Continue up a thin crack to a rest, make one tenuous move and clip the next bolt as you smear left towards another quality crack.  More crack and face moves above, then clip a last bolt on your way to the two bolt anchor.

We used a 70m rope and a single rap to get off this climb, but a 70m will not get you all the way back to the start.

This is a great pitch that's full value for the grade.

With some traffic and a little cleaning, this route will be an absolute classic! It is a great mixed pitch up the North Face of the rock. Slab climbing, crack climbing, and three burly overhangs make for a challenging lead. All lead bolts and anchor bolts are in good shape and are stainless.

Climb up the nice crack to gain the arete. It is slight runout up the slab staying to the left until the slab ends. You can get gear (micro cam, small cam, and maybe sling on flake). Be sure to extend this gear so it clears the corner and does not give rope drag.

Step around the arete, and climb cracks. For this move, I did a stem on the lichen wall to the left to set gear. Further up, you will be able to get a not-so-good rest at a flat flake sticking out. Proceed up cracks to the exit move. Some beta is below:

(the beta: the exit is a right hand mantel).

Start either from right or left leading to open book. Place good gear in book, do a crux move entering chimney, go up this, and exit roof on right. Wander up good face on back left for 80 feet or so.

This is a reasonable climb that would improve with traffic.  The moves are awkward, but in a good way.

Get to the base of the route on way or another and climb to surmount an appliance-sized chockstone in the corner, between a spike of rock and the corner itself.  From a stance on this, climb past a brief section where the crack in the corner is closed to both jamming and protection, (first crux) with feet on the slab on the left.  After a few moves, you reach a good jam and good protection.  Continue up on the corner with slabby feel on the left and a juggy flake and crack on the right side of the dihedral to a rock that caps it.  Turn up and right at the big rock and head towards a small tree (second crux) and the bolted anchor and rap as for this route and
