This route starts on Full Stop, but continues straight up the crack to the right of the "Ear". 

  Attain the "Ear" on Full Stop and work your way up to the slanting rail above it.  Then get your feet as high as possible on this rail and work your way to the right (balancy).  Look for the crescent shaped foothold out right (stretchy), and use it to bump your right hand up to the second "Ear" making sure to use one of the best thumb-catches anywhere.  Use this side pull to surmount the mini-roof and finish as for Full Stop.

Full Stop is located on the southeast face of Two Pines Buttress.  The southeast face is an anomoly on the East Buttress in that the rock is very textured.  Climb the thin crack to an angular niche, then up over a bulge to a big ledge.  Climb the final 15 foot face on easy ledges.  For more of a challenge climb the face to the right of the crack to begin.

Start up the same inside corner as Anemia and Hypoglycemia. Climb the inside corner to the overhang 30 ft up. Step to the right side of the overhang and surmount the overhang to get to the crack above it. Follow crack to top.

 Most people stay below the overhang and traverse to the right before surmounting the overhang, but I have done an interesting variation where you use handholds above the overhang to traverse to the crack on the right.

Mouse's Misery is a summertime favorite that you'll usually find occupied, perhaps because it is one of the easier 10s in the park.  It's also a really fun route.  Start the climb on the face directly below the arching roof 40 feet up, avoiding the crack to your right.  About 20 feet up, use the finger crack to ascend to a horn just to the left of the arching roof.  Climb up the crack above the horn through the crux of the route.

The left side of Thoroughfare.  An eliminate, sure, but a fun one and the right crack of thoroughfare doesn't seem tempting when you are on this climb.  Climb up the left corner/crack of Thoroughfare, starting in the corner and avoiding the right hand crack.  Where the cracks merge and the crimps begin, it joins Thoroughfare.  Sequency and burly crux with poor feet.   

  I've heard this climb referred to both as "Lake Shore Drive" and as "LSD", which I had assumed referred to lysergic acid diethylamide.  On the Extremist's Guide, it's also referred to as Left Side Direct.

Start to the left of Schizophrenia and continue up easy terrain through a small dihedral to a bush. Traverse right at the bush to the corner (you'll see a piton) and continue on a ridge to a ledge with a pine tree. Go past the pine tree up a low angle dihedral to the top. 

  5.5 Variation: At the bush, instead of traversing right, continue straight up to intersection with ridge higher up.

The Rack can be found to the right of the obvious chimney on the east end of Two Pines Buttress.  It is easily identified by looking for the right-curving overhang/crack.  Start the climb by using ledges to make your way up to the crack.  Jam the crack up to where it turns to the right.  From here traverse right with hands in the crack and feet smearing.  Once you get to the end of the crack (near the corner) mantel up to the ledge, then continue up the south-facing corner and face to the top.

Climb crack with bulge 10 feet up.  Two-thirds of the way up, move right to wide crack to top.

Cool route off of Mouse's Misery. Climb into solution pockets to right and straight up. Maybe s rated.  

  Also of note is Mouse's Tail 5.11a, first lead Steve Sangdahl, 1982: Continue out undercling from solution pockets on Mouse Tracks and go straight up. Maybe s rated.

Climb overhang and corner. Block on the left is off. interesting boulder problem to easy face.

Fun moderate. Start below overhanging nose 25ft up. Climb into dark pocket, then around left side of nose and up ridge.

Climb four feet into The Grotto, then up the left wall without using the right wall.

Pussy Galore's Flying Circus can be accessed by climbing up the 5.2 gully on the west side of Two Pines Buttress.  Climb up under the flake, then move up using lieback moves on the right side of the flake.  There are also some stemming opportunities using the flake and features to the right.  Getting past the flake is probably 5.6 climbing.  Once above the flake, either head to the right of the overhang (easier 5.4) and climb the crack and broken rock towards the pine tree on the edge at the top, or go to the left of the overhang and do some 5.7 moves to the top.

Start on Mouse's Misery, but traverse right at the triangular roof to a decent hold.  Bust a big left hand move, then continue up the slab in between Vacillation and Mouse Tracks, avoid the jugs on vacillation.

This is the right side elimanate for Thoroughfare .  Climb up to a pod and then up the seam leaving holds to the left alone.  Climb until forced back into Thoroughfare.  Maybe a piece down low and then the gear is the same.

Takes the slabby crack system just right of the Pussy Galore's Flying Circus flake.  There is a distinct cruxy section at about the 3/4 height where not so obvious holds must be worked just right and the feet hoisted up behind you.

Moderate face between the route "Dyspepsia" on the left and "Brother Without a Brain" on the right.  Climb the easy lower corner of the route "Moderation" but move up and left to the top of the blocks and flake on the left.  Climb off the upper most flake onto the face and follow steep slab face on edges and flakes directly to the lone pine tree at the top.

An obvious line with great pumper climbing. Start in the small alcove just right of The Grotto and use side-pulls to ascend the dual cracks.  

  Also of note are L. S. D.  which climbs only the left side of Thoroughfare and Crosstown Traffic which climbs only the right side of Thoroughfare.

Starts up Anemia corner then steps right at about 25ft mark and heads up through small roof and broken wall above.

Squeeze yourself into the grotto past the deepest chock stone, then wiggle your way up a chimney (12"-18" inches wide) until you emerge in a cave. Exit the cave and finish same as The Grotto.Not my preferred style of climbing, but I hear there are people who seek this stuff out.

Climb up to the top of the gully.  Below the flake of Pussy Galore, carefully move left around the corner to a crack with a tree stump.  Climb up the crack, and up to the top.

Climb the narrow face left of the Grotto and right of Vacillation.

Reprieve is located on the south corner of Two Pines Buttress, left of Full Stop.  Start about 2 feet right of the corner up the face.  Find crimp holds to ascend the wall to a small ledge at the top of a bulge about 20 feet up.  Continue up the face avoiding the corner to your left and Full Stop (rt 78) to your right.  A very nice climb.

Two Pines Buttress contains almost two dozen very nice climbs including The Rack (5.7), Mouse Tracks (5.11a), Full Stop (5.6), and Schizophrenia (5.6).  The climbs on the east half are long and continuous while those on the western portion are divided by a ledge.
