Giraffe and a Half is an incredible scramble up the back right "leg" of the Baby Giraffe up its back and onto its neck!

Start on the northeast side of the boulder at its lowpoint on a small crimp for your right hand and good sidepull for your left. Climb up, and press onto the arete, which at this point is the top of the first half of the problem. From there, dash up the sharp arete as it steepens to the top/head!

Don't be fooled - the arete is steeper than the last pitch of the Fifth, Challenger, etc.

Climb the flame lichen face, mantel onto the flat top, then walk a few feet forward, and begin climbing again to finish with the techy slab on the ever steepening ramp, avoiding the arete to your right from "

". A fall from the slab might put you into the offwidth chasm down and left.

Start standing, and climb into the overhang/arete via a bit of a tricky start. Continue up the arete/ thin seam that gets smaller as you get higher up, finishing with some thin/ techy moves quite far off the deck.

Toot on a Flute is an offwidth in the Flatirons!

Climb up the cavern created by the Baby Giraffe Boulder and the boulder just to its east. Stick yourself into the bowels of the giraffe's hind quarters, and wiggle up and out.

Climb the south face of Baby Giraffe. Start with hands on a good pinch, and climb up onto the face itself. Use the crack to make upward progress - the crack varies from good hands to crispy pinches to nothing good. Dance up the east arete which is only a few inches wide in some spots!
