This climb has good edges and is pretty well protected, good rest at clipping positions, the crux of the climb is between the 2nd and 3rd bolt, it still has good holds only it is a little steeper.  The belay is not that fun though because you are standing in bushes.  Finish the climb and belay at anchor, few pieces for anchor would be good.

Located on the SE corner of the Knob Hill formation. Start is on the right, climb the seam up and left following two fixed pitons. Continue face climbing to the left of the protruding bolder. Follow two more bolts to top.

Low-angle slabby climbing up past two prominent flakes and then a crack/groove to a pair of anchor bolts (no rap hardware at this time). You can scramble off down the gully to climber's right of the route.

Easiest route in the Rock Knob area. Uses the same anchors as Last Light and a few others for easy top rope set up.

Climb slab to bolt, then move right and up into vertical crack (gear). Pass vertical crack on big footholds, to find a second bolt above. Then continue up face. You may want to use bolts from Unknown Right route on the way to the anchors shared with Last Light and High Light.This route has slightly less loose rock on it than High Light, but only slightly. Leaders and belayers should stay aware.

Crux is finding a decent placement in the thin, flaring and shallow crack. 

This is the groove/chute located 20 feet to the right of Last Light. Climb up low-angle discontinuous crack-like feature (placing gear) to a passage at steeper slot (crux). After the slot, clip first bolt, then continue up and a bit right to second bolt before veering left and up across to the anchor shared with Last Light. The rock on this route is pretty questionable and there is a LOT of chossy junk and questionable holds pretty much all the way up. Having said that, you can enjoy a relatively safe ascent with some careful climbing to check for portable holds. It's easier than the McDowells guidebook rating.

The Knob Hill area has basically three areas. This is the easternmost area of the hillside and consists of two separate crags. A south-southeast facing face that is easily visible from the trail below, and an east-facing one that features the routes Piggys Conch Shell and Lord of the Flies. Note: There is a known behive between those two routes on the east-facing crag, so bear that in mind.
