Description 

This is the attractive looking hand crack just right of the arete. Scramble up an easy slab to the start of the crack, and then start jamming. Good climbing, but wish it was longer. Very soft for 5.7

One of the more mellow 5.7's in the Park. Not 100% sure where the 5.7 move was but felt like it was there somewhere...

Top roped the 5.9 arête just to the left of Life's A Bitch, some fun huggy moves, worth doing as long as you're up there. You can use the same anchor you built for Life's A Bitch. Start in the dihedral with bush and then "hug" the arête all the way up.

Not a bad route just way too short. Take note that there are no rap rings on the bolts up top. There is some webbing and cord thru the bolts and one of them is an old 1/4 inch bolt. The one bolt needs to be replaced and rap rings installed. It also appears that some bolts on the climbers left were chopped. I don't believe these are convenience bolts since there is not a safe walkoff that I could find.
