This splitter offwidth is near the left end of the northwest face of Boat Rock.  A 6-foot high, trapezoidally-shaped rock is at its base. Gain the main crack from the left or right. Descend by scrambling down to the left.

This is the far left crack on the southwest face and begins over a chasm.  Delicately step across a boulder, spanning the void, to gain a wide-hands crack.  Jam up the crack as it varies from hands to stacks.  Reach a ledge and belay on gear.  Walk off by heading back to the east, then down a gully to the west back to the base.

At the right end of the northwest side of Boat Rock is a shelf 20 feet off the ground and flanked at both ends by projecting walls forming wide cracks with the rock face between the flanking walls. Pleasure Cruise and

ascend these cracks. They both look like one-move climbs. However, each provides 75 feet of varied and enjoyable passage. Descent from both is a scramble to the left.

Climb the handcrack in the left wall using chimney moves as convenient. Proceed until beneath the large chockstone. Look for an opening to the top on the right wall. Use a few slab moves to access a porthole and then go to the top.

This is the crack that peters out at the top.  It is very obvious from the Torpedo Tubes and

Friday the 13th

.  It is not the death route that all the guides claim it to be, but I'm sure it was back in the day during the FA.  It is a surprisingly varied route.  There is a substantial run-out midway, and your last gear is not really all that comforting.  I think it would hold a fall, but not positive-I did not test it.  There is also good sized runout at the top.  An R rating is adequate.  The climbing is fun, and if you have a decent lead head, you will have no problem.  The route felt more like 5.11b.  Trusting the crystals in the runouts was the hard part, but they all proved to be solid.

for location.

Climb the right of two cracks at the right wall going all the way to the top (the left crack is Full of Seaweed).

Only fools would climb aboard this ship. This route is left of

. Start 15 yards right of the left end of the SW face in a handcrack that widens into an off¬width slot (5.9). Belay on the large shelf about 50 feet up. From there, climb through the chimney and then the offwidth, which looms above on the right.

Start just right of

on the same belay platform.  Climb an offwidth crack to a low-angled ramp.  Follow this to the back and belay on gear.  Walk off to the left.

This ominous looking crack is actually easier than it looks and I'd even call it fun!  The lower portion of the route is pretty uneventful but the upper chimney is classic, hence the 3 star rating.  Placing a Big Bro toward the outside of the chimney when your on the inside is kind of interesting also.
