Climb through a few ledges, ending up above the prow itself (this constitutes most of the length of the route).  The crux is the thin, bulging left-face, which can easily be skipped by going further left and finishing the last few moves of

This has straightforward climbing with the crux near the 3rd bolt when moving through the prow's face. Watch out for the guano near the crux (it may alter the route).

All of the routes at The Atoll are a little sandbagged, and this one is not an exception. Gillett gives it 5.0 to 5.2, but I felt is was probably 5.5.  Gillett also mentions a bolt, but that has been chopped, as have the first bolts of each climb at this area.  Wander up the line of least resistance on the narrow face of rock that is exposed.

This is an obscure route that deserves its obscurity.  This climbs a bushy corner to access a steep headwall with a single bolt and a few interesting moves.

Climb up into the corner, dodge the tree, and step out right to put a 2" cam in the thin hands crack.  Mantle up onto the ledge, clip the bolt, then do the crux to the top.  Was it worth it?
