Climb the obvious 1" splitter crack that splits the back wall of the cirque. The crux is getting established in the crack. Begin in the back of the left-facing corner at the base of the crack, work your way around, plug a piece, and establish thyself in the crack. Harvest said crack.

Alternative start: boulder your way directly to the crack, stepping on lichen and wishing you brought a bouldering pad. This likely makes the route harder than 5.10.

Chimp Crack

Tongue Taco

Meeting the Siskin

Don't Stop Now

Slip of the Tongue

Take Me Over the Edge

Got It Licked

Climb the beautiful orange face just to the right of "Meeting the Siskin". The first couple of bolts of climbing are straightforward and fun. Then make some longer and more powerful moves through beautiful stone. It's on ya somewhat until you clip the anchors.

A user-friendly sport route, worth doing if in the area.

Moderately easy crimpy face climbing for the first 50 feet or so - a handful of nice rests to prep for a long (for tall folks) or dynamic (for the rest of the world) last move to pull over a baby roof to the anchors. Fun climbing through and through; well worth the trek.

Climb jugs to an obvious left-leaning ramp. Romp up face to anchors which are lower than you would expect.

Clip 2 bolts on the way to the left trending corner. Follow corner to a ledge, clip the bolt, then tiptoe right and roll around arete. Follow the point of the arete clear to to the tip of the tongue.

Start from atop a boulder at the tip of the formation. Scamper up ledges, clipping the bolts on the left side of the awsome arete. Continue past the big hemlock in the alcove and on to the top. Hold your nose and wave to the buzzards.
