Farthest crack to the right on this rock, next to the trail going to the top.  one well protected 5.8ish roof to a fun top out.

Chimney sized crack with lots of face climbing on edges.  Walk past bluff around first arete.  Crack will be obvious.

This is a super fun route directly to the left of the main rock outcropping seen across the lake. Its a rather lengthy route (really impressive for Ohio) that has a great combo of pushes and rests. The rock is super clean, but does have some lichen towards the left of the main route. The start is rather like a boulder problem, pulling hard and engaging the core to bring the feet up. Very cool to be climbing and look over your shoulder to see fellow hikers taking in the scenery on the adjacent rock. Awesome views from the top of the lake. 

Steep cave problem on the right side before you reach the main buttress of The Rock. Sit start. 

The right of the two bolted lines that share anchors.  4 bolts 2 bolt anchor.

The obvious arete route left of Blueberry Funk and Gingergay.  2 Bolts, 2 Bolt Anchor.

This is the second crack you see after you reach the main wall.  Climb to the slabby face and sling the sketchy bolt with a nut.  Sack up and top it out.

Left of the two sport lines, shares anchors with Blueberry Funk.  4 bolts 2 bolt anchor.

The southern most full-length route in the area starts below the vertical crack.  The easier face moves bring you to a small roof that requires fist and hand jams to bypass (this is the crux).  From here it is face climbing again.  Watch out for bats that like to catch rays on this rock face.  Also be careful tossing your rope down or dropping any gear, this route goes right over the main trail and is very close to the water.

If you are walking east from the dam on Lake Shore trail you can't miss The Rock.  It is the only rock face that is ON the shore. Sport, Trad, Top-rope available. This rock is the beginning of the area that ends about 100 yards later where the rock faces diminish into steep hills.  The Rock has the hardest, cleanest rock I've seen in the area.  But watch out, I have seen tiny bats hanging out on this face and they are easily disturbed by noise and or crushed by an unobservant climber.  There is an easy crack on this face and further down the wall there are bolted routes that go up sandier stone.
