Starts around the corner from Best Seats in the house and now has its own set of anchors. When you get to the roof, climb around, not over.

Follows the left side of the arete. The crux is at the beginning, and it would probably be a good idea to stick clip the first bolt for the first couple of times you do the route. Easier to go a little around the right at the crux than straight up. The climb gets it's name from the gorgeous view of the Clear Creek and Obed Rivers

Amazing. Start by balancing up the slab to the roof, then traverse left carefully until you can reach up and clip the first bolt. Dance up the corner diagonally to the right, underneath overhangs, until you are where the corner cuts back to the left. Rest while you can, then venture up and to the right across the pale face to a horizontal break. Now straight up through horizontals in the overhanging face to the anchors. Pumpy, exposed and super-fun!

A steep route with a juggy start and a short V4ish boulder problem on a pretty golden headwall. 

  Climb into a small corner and follow the crack until it ends.  Then cut right onto the steep white face and enjoy big pulls on good holds on 5.10+ terrain to a rest below the final roof.  Pull over the small roof and power past crimps, sidepulls and slopers to some good holds below the anchors. 

  Top is often wet.  To the roof makes for a nice warmup.  Might be the softest 12b at the Obed?

Start in the crack, you get to the crux after the first ledge of Sky Hook. After the second ledge be careful with the rope position in relation to the sharp arete.

Yard up the middle of the face past blocky ledges and crimpers. Be sure to save some gas for the final, desperate move to anchors below a small roof.

Jam, stem and grope your way up the fat crack/corner toward the precarious-looking diving-board chockstone up high. Claw your way on top of the chocktsone (don't worry, it's solid), then up the crack a bit more before venturing out left on the left face toward anchors below the roof.

Climb an excellent boulder problem on big pockets to a rest.  Pull out onto the face and one more boulder problem then cruise to the chains on an excellent and easy face.

An exciting route with hero roof climbing down low and a challenging headwall above. 

  Scramble up to a horizontal break just below the roof, make a long move to a big pocket, jump for the jug flake and burl over the roof to better holds.  Once over the roof, rest up on decent holds below the next roof.  Reach over the roof and work right along slopey pods.  Make a big lock off to a three finger pocket and keep trending left on better holds to a couple of acceptable rest holds.  Bear down on a few bad holds and enjoy a some jugs before clipping the chains. 

  This route has excellent rock and very engaging moves.  However, it lacks the length and aesthetics to earn 4 stars.  Hard for the grade. 

  Also, this route tends to stay dry when other routes are seeping.

Nice little face climb just to the left of Best Seats in the House.

Crawl up the tiers, pull on to the face. Climb straight up, go right to the ledge. Go up the mini-headwall to the cold shuts.

Scramble up to the high first bolt. Toss your way through juggy horizontals. Decide your way of pulling out of the steepness and up to the anchors. (Hint: You can throw your feet into one horizontal and just hang out, no hands)

A dramatic start using pockets in the face brings you to your first bolt. Continue up the blocky face to the right of the crack. Finish at anchors below the roof.

Excellent and challenging face climbing, Fat Lady has a tricky start and balancy moves all the way.  The big roof above keeps it dry and climbable in the rain. 

  Starting on a ledge above the main trail, make some difficult moves with scant feet to the first bolt (stick clipping is a good idea).  Continue up the face to finish at anchors under the big roof.

Start up some steep pockets (very similar to Undertow), pull through some overlaps and over a final bulge to a vertical to less-than-vertical 5.10 face for the rest of the climb. Pretty good fun, a lot like Undertow but without the 1 distinct hard move.

Here is a nice collection of South Clear routes.
