Apparition is the right-trending handcrack and centerpiece on Apparition Rock. The crux lies about 1/3 of the way up. This fun route should not be missed!Belay off of slung boulder.

There's an easier descent than the one shown in the picture. As you head to the climber's left, keep going past the gully marked in the picture (which I really didn't like the look of), all the way to the south end of the formation. A low angle slab will lead you down to the side of the formation, and a quick boulder hop will get you back to the base. More roundabout, but also much more secure.
