A personal favorite.  From the southern courtyard locate one of the 4" cracks running along third story windows.  Climb the arch below the crack then jam up the crack to the roof.  Traverse towards the summit belfry where a short sprint up a slate shingled slab reaches the roof ridge.  Traverse to the south side of the building and undercling the coping down to a large landing (exposed!).  Throw a rope around a pipe jutting out from the wall above the belfry door and climb to the summit.

Descend by threading a rope through one of the eyebolts that secures the grounding cable to the roof and rappel.

This building is occupied until midnight on weeknights, so plan accordingly.

South Face Direct

Pillar Problem

East Enterance

North Problem

NW Entrance

Layback or bear-hug up the gableted corner buttresses found in various places around the building.

Above the entrance facing Stevens Way, dyno from the ledge above the door to the second story windowsills.

Immediately left of the garbage dumpsters, on the north side of the building, is a perfect inside corner finger crack that ends at an overhang.

Climb up either side of the archway to a vertical rib.  Pinch your way up until easier climbing gains the portico roof.

Down climb a shallow chimney on the north side.
