climb the crack on the right side of the perch to a small ledge where the infamous "sword" once stood, then up an off-hands crack. passable pockets and edges can be found hidden in the recesses of the crack.

  Begin up the flake (left leaning layback) to a small "roof" with good handjams and protection.  Pull around bulge to easy climbing, followed by the crux pulling up a steep handcrack in a slightly right leaning shallow dihedral.  Jams and face holds to a good rest at a 2-bolt anchor.

Start up thin cracks just right of a boulder. Then jog a little left and finish in the fist/OW crack. More challenging if you don't use the boulder

A mix of layback and OW moves.  Harder at the top.

Climb up the large flake to the right of Better Than Mecca, protecting with a #4 cam if you wish.  From the little alcove at the top of the flake, pull out on hand jams to the steep thin crack.  Finish at a 2-bolt anchor.

Head up the nice cracks on the fairly clean face to a small bulge.  Crux is pulling through the overhang, though moves down low are not easy.

Head up the bouldery moves on the left crack.  There is a easier low crux, and then some thin hand jams/lieback up to a steep ledge (looks like a huge ledge from below).  The second part of the climb heads up the obvious right facing corner with great, though steep and sharp, hand jamming/stemming.  Probably one of the better hand cracks on the sunny side of the canyon.

An easy start through a low angle off-width. Traverse across a flake to the upper crack, finish with painful hand jams to a two bolt anchor.

Follow the obvious flake up to a small bulge and then a dihedral.

Fun steep crack climbing! Hot spot is super warm zone , faces due southwest !
