Leading this route is a bit heady out the gate but the gear gets better as you go.  Climb a 30' slabby buttress up it's left side to a 20' face above.  Exit into a narrow gully to the right of a small cherry tree growing out of the rock.  This will keep you out of the briars for the topout.  Belay and rappel from a huge tree on the right side of the gully.  Originally covered in rock tripe, Mark Rineer and I cleaned this in 2003 thinking it would probably need a couple bolts, it appears to be staying fairly clean and climbs cleanly on gear.  Crux mantle to get on the route and one tricky section of face climbing off the high ledge near the finish.

Good movement, but short and dirty.  (Placeholder name)

Start below and left of the large prow/roof work up and right to a techy mantle under the roof.  Mantle again to the ledge just left of the prow.  Go ahead and eat your lunch then climb the off-fingers sized layback crack above the ledge trending R of a very small cherry tree wedged in the top of the crack.  Commit to the slopey but easy mantle.  Direct start is about 5.10+ with a V2 boulder problem to gain the first small ledge.

Start under In a Silent Way, Climb a slanting feature up and to the left to reach a blunt arete (takes a 0.2 small cam), work you way through dusty fairly blank face (crux, gear ends up below your feet) into a high left facing corner, move right onto the knobby face with some rock tripe on it still, finishing just right of a good sized cherry tree that is perched at the edge of the cliff.

obvious crack that starts out wide and tapers to fingers

Follow crack to bulge and trend left to the shallow corner under the small roof. Pull the roof and crank up the splitter crack to the top.

Climb the nice R facing corner through a low roof move and a crux offwidth/stemming section at the top to gain a small chimney.  Topout on jugs to the left.  Mind the two chocked stones that seem like they could come off but apparently want to stay for now.  Small one on the left makes a great knocking sound!

A bit better and trickier than it appears.  Climb up the large steps into a alcove, make a move right around the alocve to a small knob and then stem up through the wide dihedral through double cracks using knobs and locks to a hidden left hand jug, pull up into a stance in a small chimney.

This is the large chimney that the approach trail comes out in front of at the Simpsons/Bovine wall. Go up chunky corner and work up the short slab into the chimney. Work up the chimney and out to a block then around and to the top.

Cruise up to the small roof with the beautiful, but too short (5'), crack with the large evergreen tree growing from it near the top. Pull the roof on a couple fun jams then face the move that gives this route it's name.

Climb white rock up to a ledge 15' up.  Climb the crux finger crack off the ledge and finish on knobby face above.

Begins up a pair of short cracks to a ledge. Continue up a crack system to the top.

Climbs bulging orange face up finger cracks.

Handcrack to ledge and bulge, continue up pillar on easier face climbing to top.

Start up short left facing corner and crack to hour-glass crack, pull through then step left under roof and climb up through notch split by fingercrack.

bouldery route just to the right of The Bully.  Climb steep orange face up and right to thin right facing dihedral.  Climb straight up this to small bulge.  pull this to the top.
