Better if it weren't for the stacked  blocks at the start of the route.   Climb crack through stacked blocks to a ledge; step left to the continuation of the vertical crack and take it all the way to the top.

An initial exploration route; may be better to continue through the notch to reach an offwidth crack that offers progress above a large spruce tree.   Climb up and right onto a stance by a short, vertical crack. Climb the crack, then step up behind a giant, tilted block. Traverse up and right along a narrow ledge to a vertical crack, and take that to the top.

The best route on this section of cliff, though the bottom tends to be greasy.   Climb up onto the ledge, then into the awkward alcove under the overhang. Reach the lovely jam crack and slam away. The angle eases soon enough to prevent pump failure, just be sure to plug enough to prevent a revisit to the ledge. Cleaned up a bit better, this would rank 2 stars.   The FA involved freezing temps and snowfall, screaming barfies and a fast retreat after the send. Definitely running out of rock time in 2015.

Left of the Main Slab, the slope is divided into several tiers of cliff and slab. The largest of these lies above smaller tiers, separated from them by sloped, wooded ledges; this is the Scout-About Slab. On the far left lies a separate, small crag, which tapers off leftward into a short, very steep wall with a very low-angled slab above it. This is the Left Blockade. Currently, the routes toward the right end of this formation, right of a large, right-facing corner with a left-rising diagonal crack in it. This feature is the most identifiable one on the crag, and is thus used for locating other routes. This corner lies about 100 meters left of the Main Slab.
