Oh Rats! area. I noticed that Swartling/Mayer 3rd ed. says route #3 starts "left of the corner", and diagram 4W on page 235 shows it there, too. I don't think it gets climbed much because the Oh Rats! route to the 2nd ledge is more interesting.

This is on the north side of Misery Gully near the top, up from The Frigate. The route is "Oh Rats" 5.8 and climbs the layback crack underneath the overhang, then escapes to the right of the overhang. Pulling the overhang directly is 5.11d.
the Sun Spot wall. These climbs start from the bench that separates the upper and lower halves of Dutchmans Rampart. Scramble up a groove below and left of Under the Pier to get here, or include the easy lower half of the rampart in your climb.

Standing near the top of the Meat Grinder offers a nice view of the top of Oh Rats!. The 5.3 climbing of Meat Grinder actually stops at this level but Swartling/Mayer #6 is a 5.5 continuation to the top in this narrow chimney.
