At the left end of California Ridge lies what is called California Five-Eleven A. Feels harder than the b/c rating that it's given in the guidebook...

Two bolts under the roof and some burly moves lead to 15' of face climbing. 3 bolt anchor.

Supposedly can be top-roped in a variation to the left though due to the potential swing it is not the best.

Easier version than California Five-Eleven A. The routes starts by pulling over a big roof to steep face climbing on pockets.

Stick clip the first bolt before the big 5.9+ mantle move.  Careful not to pull the lip off with your left hand, it's cracking!  Once over the lip, follow 5th class up to ledge placing small gear on the way if you like.  Cool 10d friction moves to the top.  Trust your feet, this rock sticks!

Two bolt anchor

Easy warmup to California Ridge.  This 5.7 is at the right side of the formation and wanders up and slightly left to a pair of bolts at the top (new glue-ins as of 06/04/17).

Cool 5.11 moves up into an inside corner. Once in the corner it's easy (5.8) stemming, hand jams and some face moves up to a ledge. Moderate (5.9+) face climbing to the top.

The anchor for this route was replaced 6/17 with new glue-in bolts/rings.  Please TR on your own equipment.

Cool looking 5.11d roof about 15' off the deck.  Once over the roof follows some moderate face climbing to a ledge and meets up with Access denied to the top

Two bolt anchor (plus backup) at top

This mixed trad/sport climb starts with an offwidth.  This can be protected by a bolt at the start and gear in the bottom of the offwidth.  Stay in the offwidth and it won't feel too runout up to the ledge.  More gear if you like.  At this point step left and follow two bolts and some 10a face climbing to the top.

Two bolt anchor shared with Mullah.

The right of two roof climbs following the 15' roof near the middle of California Ridge.  Solid huecos get you up and over the roof.  Easy, runout face climbing to ledge where you can clip a bolt and join Case Dismissed for a couple .10a face moves to the finish.
