Starting from the same pedestal that "So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes" begins, trend up along a low angle ramp to a short boulder problem over a roof. Mind the ledge fall potential here. The FA took a nice whipper here when some hold broke above.

The first route to be developed on the cliff. Scramble up to the top of a small pedestal on the right side of the cliff. Belay on the pedestal or slightly higher on a small ledge. Follow painted hangers up through roofs to a lower off anchor.

Furthest route to the left, begins on a blunt arete.

Pitch 1: Climb up along the arete to a short finger crack that climbs over a roof to a 2 bolt lower off anchor. 9 bolts, 25m

Pitch 2: A long pitch, take off up the face and turn a small headwall before finishing on the upper slab. 17 bolts, 40m.

To descend rappel down and climber's right to the 2nd pitch anchor of Hammer and the Dance.

Begin next to a small alcove up and to the right of Arctic Oscillation.

Climb up through somewhat broken rock to some committing moves through a clean headwall to lower off anchors.

Climb up the green licheny arete to a short roof crux, passing it on the left side of the bolt line to avoid a ledge fall potential. Continue up the face to a lower off anchor on top.

A quality route up good rock in the center of the main buttress.

Pitch 1: Start near the tow of the buttress and climb up and through a tricky section past the short roof to a step left and continue to a lower off anchor. One of the better single pitches here. 12 bolts, 30m.

Pitch 2: Short pitch that climbs up the face and into a corner, bolted anchor on a ledge. 5.9, 5 bolts, 15m

Pitch 3: A long and varied pitch goes up the face and into a corner before pulling over the roof and continues to a steep arete to an anchor on the prow. 5.11, 12 bolts, 30m

Rappel route with single 60m.

An engaging route up a steep first pitch and then continues for 2 more pitches up fun and featured rock.

Pitch 1: Climb lower angle rock up to steeper, tiered roofs, climbing past a few chain draws to a lower off anchor. 12 bolts (including 3 chain draws) to a lower off anchor. 5.11b/c, 30m

Pitch 2: Short pitch to the base of the hanging arete and a bolted rappel anchor. 6 bolts, 5.8, 20m

Pitch 3: A really nice pitch up the arete up to an anchor at the top of the main formation. 10 bolts, 5.9, 30m

To keep this route below 5.11, you can climb the first pitch of Force Majeure and then climb into the 2nd pitch of Hammer and Dance via a 2 bolt connection, making the route 10c.
