There are some nice rock routes up from the lake as well.  5.8 I believe.

First pitch starting options.  5.7 chimney on the far right, or the 5.8 cracks just the left (really nice!).

One of three rappels past the chockstones in the decent gully.  Watch out when pulling ropes there is a lot of loose rock in the gully.

The start from the top of the notch as described above.  You can see a small crack on the left that will take a piece but other than that not many pro options.  The two left facing walls in the sun are the 30' cracks described by Nelson.

Looking back at the west summit from the east summit which is only a few feet higher.  Can easily traverse under west summit block on the north side (right side of photo).

Comments: I flaked on writing anything up about this! Fun route. After the first 2 or 3 pitches in the obvious dihedral just above the toe of the dihedral, you can pretty much go anywhere and the grade will be the same. Easy climbing with a few short steps up to 5.9. Mostly quality rock, but there are some widow makers in there, so be careful.

Comments: There are two bolted climbs to the left of Under the Boardwalk and still under the Great Arch (this one and a 5.10a just to the left). There are two other climbs (sharing a first pitch) the climb up from left of the Great Arch then branching out.

Can rap this with 2 ropes or using the intermediate anchors.

Comments: A little short but worth doing if you dont have much time. With a 70m the climb can be done in one pitch to the trees above the 2nd bolted rap anchor then a scramble to the top (maybe 10' of 5.low slab).

Comments: Great crack for tuff! I couldnt find the bolts at first glance after traversing right. Look down and right (behind you). A little funky but fun.

Comments: Fun position for a valley climb well away from the crowds. We did it in 5 pitches linking the first and second and belaying from the top of the great white flake with has a much better stance though fewer pro options.
