This a a fun, little, intermediate route; however, be careful at the start, because the rock can be a little crumbly in sections. After that, it is bomber.

On Beginner Slab's backside, start up an obvious, nice, layback crack that turns to hands. Then it goes up the face past two bolts, to the anchor. Keith Brett gets credit for the clever name.

On Beginner's Backside, this route is left of

, letter "A" in the photo. It follows the gully/chimney that goes upwards and right. There are some fun chimney sections worth trying. Good pro is present. Still, it is pretty chossy. There is possibly a loose boulder midway up. I used

Sir Mixed A Lot's

anchors to toprope my follower up, she then cleaned the anchor and rappelled (a bit tricky getting to the anchors for the follower - we climbed from behind to get to them).

This is a fun route going up the obvious flake on the back of Beginner's Slab. There are two bolts on the flake where the crux is and then a big runout to the next bolt above the flake where it meets with

. It felt about like 11d, but I am not totally sure.

It follows the crystal seam up the watergroove. In my opinion, it is slightly harder than

Devil's Spine

. Once again, it is a great beginner lead.

This is presumably a 40' crack. To be edited in.

On the backside of the Beginner's Slabs, just right of the mixed line,

lies a nice trad line that could be one of the best moderate cracks to lead at Hartmans. Also, it is easily toproped as some anchors were put in, courtesy of Chad Robinson in 2010.

This is a fun, little, sport route that follows the quartz crystals on the left side of the rock.  This is a great beginner's climb with a good stance to set up the anchors at the top.

This is a fun, easy climb up a narrow gully/chimney.
