Top Rope ascent by:
sketch
until the third clip is sketchy!! probably the longest run-out i've ever seen, if you fall, you'll bottom out, so don't lead unless you know you can pretty much flash it. or you can top rope TO the third bolt, and lead the rest.
this climb is very fun if you're looking for something slightly overhung with BIG holds

Sweet, tough climb
Good handholds all over the place but its a huge overhang and anything less would be ridiculous. Gets pretty pumpy by the end.

Stellar, Steep Climbing
Can use 2 medium small cams to protect the two long stretches between bolts. Definitely ignore the last bolt up and left. Super fun.
