Wobbly Dihedral to Dancing Madly Backwards. Near the top of the access trail from the road, these are some of the most popular routes at Old Sandstone.
The first of many classics at the Sandstone.

Bass Tree, Ten-ish Shoes, and Eight Plus. These routes are close to the right-most (east) end of the Old Sandstone rampart.
Half Crack and Three Choices. <br> <br> Three Choices actually starts on top of the boulder, but I've drawn 3 ways to get up the boulder, up the middle or either side. So with 3 different starts and 3 different finishes, maybe this should be named Nine Choices.
Africa Crack, Ptooey, and One-Upper
Dirty Little Secret to Africa Crack. Climbs in this area and to the right start to get shorter and the belay areas more overgrown. <br> <br> The unnamed 5.9 is S/M #22 and Knower #26.
Seven Seas to Dirty Little Secret. Around the corner and east of the main wall.
Tarantula to Seven Seas. <br> The loose block on Gargantua has always been loose, but recent comments suggest it has been getting looser over the years. Belaying off to the side seems to be the wise choice.
Several ways to start or climb Freaky Face. The start shown here is per Knower's book, but starting farther right for the 5.10d makes sense, too. Above the horizontal crack, you have to stay pretty far right to get the 5.10d grade.
