Classic pocket traverse! For the original 4 Better or 4 Worse, stand start in the big pocket in the middle of the face. Traverse left along pockets, then head straight up the face before the arete. The sit start adds a couple moves and a grade.

This route climbs the sweet red face at the east end of the cliff. It climbs sweet pockets and edges for the first few bolts then the crux on a barndoory rail, and you're home free.

On the other side of the arete from

More Than Life

is the Red Sea Pedestrian. This is a 3 bolt climb that follows a series of the coolest holds. The crux is at the last bolt, and there is a little run to the anchors, but it's mellow climbing.

Begin with a hard start to lots of good pockets higher up. Watch out for some loose stuff up high.

This is the razor cut arete on the most beautiful face at the Pharcyde. A very bouldery start (V7) gains the perfect arete. It is a personal favorite of mine.

Cleaned-ish choss at the bottom turns to big reaches and small pockets. One star down and two grades up from its buddy route.

This route is between

Mr. Nobody

and

Collapsing Stars

. It starts out as a face climb then turns into an arête climb. This has big holds the all the way.

This ascends the pin scar crack just right of

More Than Life

. Climb past 3 bolts up a stunning dark blue crack. It has very tricky movement to get to the good holds below the tree.

Ascend a nice, hueco'ed face to the right of

Mr. Nobody

.  It is a warm-up for the area.

This is a sequential face climb up beautiful red and dark blue patina. It trends slightly right up mostly great pockets. A few bullet holes just above the big hueco marks this route. It has 3 bolts.

Sustained balancing act up a line of small pockets between

Trigger Happy

and the moderate crack.

This route goes right up the middle of a beautiful, tan face. Bring a stick clip for this one. The first 2 bolts have easier climbing with nice pockets, the business comes right after 2nd bolt, a V6 dyno to a huge pocket. After this, the climbing turns easy again all the way to the anchors.

Climb a slightly overhanging start on small pockets to amazing jugs higher up!

This climbs perfect pockets and edges up red patina'ed face just right of

Mr. Barnes

. It is sustained 5.11, but the crux is at the top.

This is a perfect, round arete with slopers and pinches. Sit down start. Classic.

The name "Coon and Friends" is in reference to a South Park episode where Cartman is literally a raccoon super hero.

This involves sequential pocket pulling just right of the black streak. It has 2 cruxes and ascends good rock.
