This route climbs the left-most line of three bolts on the pillar. Thought it looks easier from the ground, this route is actually slightly harder than the route on the right.

Crux is right off the ground getting over the pod. Climb bolts up to the corner of the wall right of the overhanging block. Pull around the RH side of the block (super fun and airy) then continue past one last bolt to the chains at the very top of the formation.

There isn't really one, though it might be at the small bulge in the middle of the wall. Closely spaced bolts make this an excellent first lead. "Big Man Sushi" to the left would also make an excellent first lead.

The route ends at anchors on the lower LH corner of the summit block.

Ascend the mossy slabs in the bottom of the drainage for 15', then clip a bolt on the round-nose rib/arete. At the second bolt the wall turns vertical. Ascend the wall and clip nicely spaced bolts. This route is a great candidate for your first 5.8. The holds are all positive and the bolts are only 5' apart.

This route is short but sweet. Every single move is made from a HUGE hold. The holds and the bolt line push the climber to the extreme right edge of the pillar. By the time you are at bolt two you are already 40' off the ground and 80' off the road where your altitude reference will come from. There is a surprising sense of exposure here, and getting from bolt four to the anchors will keep you excited.

The route climbs straight up the wall, right of a broken corner and overhangs on the left. You will pass the anchors of "Little Man Sushi" on your right and climb to a point almost as high as the summit block.
