Flash ascent by:
Nothin' Special
Runout to the anchor adds a little spice but otherwise it's your run-of-the-mill pockety 5.9.

Onsight ascent by:
Very fun
Bring some longer slings to extend a couple pieces towards the top where the route goes a bit to the right.

!!WARNING!!
That ledge 20ft up is one gigantic loose block! I climbed it this past summer and as I was pulling onto the ledge it definitely shimmied a little! Talk about creepy!
(I haven't heard anyone else confirm this, so maybe I was just losing my mind at the time...)
Other than that though, the route protects just fine. It's listed as a 5.9, but it's so short that you won't do but a few 9 moves and I think they're towards the top.

One of my favorites
Fan-friggin-tastic route!
Bomber hand jams to a delicate traverse to an off-width. The variation makes Arachnid very enjoyable and well worth the hike up to Tower. Bring a big cam (old #5) or a Big Bro (Green #3, I think) to protect the wide section and you'll be fine.

Tough for a 5.8, but fun! Getting in and out of the wide section ~10 feet up was the hardest part. Finish on a ledge, traverse right, and rap from a tree.

Theodore Seuss Geisel?
I believe the printed guidebook (1st ed.) has this listed as "Theodore Seuss Geisel" (5.7) while the online guide lists it as "Seuss is Dead" (5.7).
Easy climb on crappy rock. The fixed anchor is gone. Either devise your own or downclimb to finish. I chose the latter and it wasn't that bad.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Fun with good pro
Bring at least a couple #4s to protect the wide section. After that, it's all easy hands to the top. Tricky start. I fell a couple of times there.
