Description:
Route is to the immediate right of a large flake, and is easily recognizable because the top anchor bolts are directly below an overhanging roof. This is a very nice crack climb, which can also double as lead practice. Lots of bomber crack holds.

Great climb
This one is a beauty. Difficulty increases towards the top, but I don't think this one ever broke out of 5.8 territory. Crux is the last couple of moves before the anchors, moving under the roof.

Second time and still fun
After climbing this a second time two years latter I would say this climb is definitely a 5.9. Sustained 5.8 with a couple 5.9 moves. Really fun route though.

Awesome Route
Very aesthetic route, great moves, just flat out fun. The crux is high moving to the anchors. I would say it's a fairy sustained 5.8.

First Blood
I think this is the one just inches to the south of the Pinnacle. Easy climb, except for reaching the three bolt finish a few feet to the right.
