Welcome Home is a technical thin tips seam on textured solid rock.  It is fairly sustained and requires good footwork because the tips jams are so bad.

Patchouli face/Hippy cave area

Big Mac Chimney

California Night

Desperate friction up the rounded arête.

Thin hard start leads to leftward traverse and easier climbing up to top.

This is one of a pair of   face climbs   that are hidden behind the big split boulder that sits behind California Night.  Follow the trail to Ca. Night but take a right at the end of the trail.  Follow along the base of the boulder, and 2nd class up next to the fallen tree and this face is visible.

Private location with stellar rock and cool moves on positive holds, makes this a classic for the grade.

The name is for reference only, as no documentation of the climbs could be ascertained at the time of this description.  My belay partners were munching them!

Thin face on high quality rock on the right side, just left of the bald arête up to the weakness(thin crack) at the top.

From California Night, head directly towards the crack, scramble through some bushes and start the crack from the left side. Climb on top of a flake/block that sits in the crack. Once on top of the block, down climb into the crack. Start Chimneying. Notice that the crack does not look that tall from outside. Inside however, you see that the rock goes into the ground and it is a long drop.

Unless you want to protect this with a Big Bro, this climb is most easily just soloed. Once you are in it, is quite secure. The chimney is the perfect size to jam your knee and take a rest anytime.

This sterling route climbs a steep finger crack for about 15 feet.  A couple of good ring locks lead to a typical Woodson top-out crux.  Those comfortable at the grade can easily boulder this, otherwise for the rest of us two bolts at the top provide an anchor for this classic problem.
