Blood Mantel

On the North side of the boulder and to the left of "Placebo", a sloping mantel over a bulge leads to easier climbing.

Climb greasy smears and edges up the center of the West Face, ending just right of the summit point.

The crux comes right off the deck, and once you're started it's a bit of a stroll to the top, that is if slab climbing is your specialty.  The start is a few feet right of the left arete.

Follow the Northwest (i.e. left-hand) arete up to the top.  The route is not tricky, but keeping your head together for this moderate high ball is.

Start at the bomber sloper just around the corner for a satisfying lie-back.  Stay on main face, or pass over the arete and climb the north face.

Climb down on back of boulder is a bit easier, especially if you follow the arete on the Southeast side, which has great hands.

This goes up/down the easy slab on the left side of the East Face. It's about 5.7 with the start being the crux and can be avoided on descent by jumping off.

This goes up the low-angle, Southwest arete. The arete is beautiful and a bit high.
