Start in front of a flat sided boulder with a jagged narrow top climb up to a good perch and then follow a run out face, veering generally right, through discontinuous cracks to to a bolted anchor.  The climb stays left of the low angle offwidth and right of the crack that is “obscure origins”.  The first 30 feet or so are unprotected face climbing but is featured a low angled.

Center of slab, Right in your face as you hop down from the last boulder on the approach trail. 

  Start right of rock jumble and vertical cracks,   follow face up past horizontal cracks.   At the top of a lower angled section, step up and left over a large crack and continue on slab to top

Fun face climb that starts a little more vertical but eases off quickly.  Good for a practicing leader.

A fun, short, handcrack with plenty of features to use inside and outside the crack.  

   Start in a small pod on top of the boulder pile next to “easy street”.  Climb straight up the short crack and move right onto the lower angle face once the crack starts to widen.  Protection becomes spares once you leave the crack but the angle and climbing is much gentler.  This route shares the two bolt anchor with easy street.  

  If the crack was 90 feet instead of 25 this would be a 4 star pitch.

Hand and Crusty offwidth-ish Crack   Some crumbly rock collected in upper cracks.   (beware rope snags on the rap)

To the left/center of "Brazilian Tenant Farmers",   Start under the Tree   Climb past Rock Jumble to Handcrack Right,   Then large flake leading right to top at anchors for "Brazilian Tenant Farmers" 

  Soaks up PRO, shorter run,   belay person can see leader on the climb,   highly recommended for   1st time trad leaders. 

Rosetta Stone is a low east-facing wall looking out over the McDowell Mountain Regional Area... 

  Great Beginning Lead Rock on mostly solid Granite.   Much less visited than other climbing areas in the   McDowell Mountains Area.
