This is the bolted route furthest to the right on the lower tier. It is between Flatus and the large cleft that defines the right side of the wall. There is a good place for gear before the first bolt, but the climbing to the first bolt is fairly easy and most won't need gear. The crux is moving past the third bolt on relatively thin hands and feet. Once above the third bolt its a bit far to the anchors but the climbing eases up substantially. There are several variations getting to the third bolt, with the climbing generally easier to the right.

Fun route that pulls on positive features with a mix of balancing face moves near the top.  The route traverses right to the second bolt and then heads straight up.

This climb starts just right of the obvious thin crack towards the left side of Lower Tier and continues straight up and a bit right to a large stance below the upper wall section.  Getting to this stance is not too difficult technically but it is a bit of a runout.  A small cam could help protect this part.  Move right a bit to another bolt and head straight up to the top.  I believe this is the crux and is definitely runout.  Easier climbing to the top is found if you move right and then up although this probably in not correct as the double anchors are straight up.

The Arrow Head route is a little contrived as it just sqeezes in between the other routes near it but the upper section makes the route very worthwhile as it's thin and steep making for some interesting face climbing.  You just have to try and not use easier holds off to the right and left.  If anyone out there thinks my description is not correct, please let me know and I'll correct this posting.  The Falcon Guide by Mike Carville shows the route more to the right but there is nothing hard over there...

Out of the Blue is found on the face about 8' left of Super Thin, the obvious thin crack on the left side of Lower Tier.  Climb moderate thin face all the way to the top.

Climb the face next to the right facing wall. The move through the wide crack about 45' up is 5.5. Or you can start on the knobby face off to the right, climb up next to a left facing wall and do a lie back move through the right hand crack. This move is 5.6.

The climb goes low angle for a bit after these moves. Climb the low angle up to the steeper section of the wall and climb up the obvious vertical crack. The 5.8 crux is in this section of the climb and you can get good pro in the crack to protect the crux move.

At the top of the crack is a left leaning slot. Climb the left leaning slot to the top. Not as many Pro placements in this section but protectable and no runout.

The - you guessed it - thin crack on the left side of the lower tier. Primarily face climbing with just enough protection opportunities. There are no especially hard moves, they'll just seem a bit harder above the small gear you place.

A short, easy-but-fun route on the lower tier. Climb the slightly right-leaning crack to a small ledge, over a bulge and to the anchors. A good beginner top rope. It looks like it would be a good lead for for a relatively new leader gaining experience placing gear. The crux is pulling over a small bulge with your last gear at your knees, but the holds are great and the anchors appear right away, so the move doesn't feel desperate.This is the 5.6 portion, the rest is easier. Two-bolt anchor at the top. Possibly gear placements between bulge and anchors. Several variations exist.

Captain Cheeze Dog is just left of the obvious thin crack (Super Thin 5.9) on the left side of Lower Tier and follows the face straight up to the top.  Easier face climbing leads to consistently smaller holds from second bolt up which is where you will find the crux.  Although the second bolt is quite a ways up there past the first bolt, the climbing is moderate and the clipping stance fairly secure. If by chance you fall clipping the second bolt you probably would hit the ground.  Double ropes or a cool head will get you past this little runout section in safety.  All in all, a very fun climb.  Route can be easily top-roped by scrambling up the left side.

RP 4 Me is the second climb right of the thin crack, Super Thin, just right of Indian Springs.  The route goes up moderate face climbing towards the small left leaning crack in the upper steeper section.  Additional gear here supplements bolt protection.  A very fun and secure lead for someone breaking into this level.

Zephyr is found towards the right side of Lower Tier.  Basically it's the second route from the right side or fourth route to the right of Super Thin, the thin crack climb.  Look for a first bolt with the second bolt higher up and to the left.  The upper 4 bolts are pretty much in a straight line going up the steep upper face.  Easier climbing gets you to the third bolt and it's here where the fun starts!  Very thin, continuous face climbing for 20' past the remaining 3 bolts gets you to the top.  A very good test piece for this grade!

Sundaze is found right of RP 4 Me and left of Zephyr and goes up the smoother looking face up top.  Easier climbing turns to much more difficult face climbing at third bolt and continues all the way to the top.
