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.

Failed onsight attempt on an unidentified (as of yet) climb at Old Sandstone. August '03

Seven Seas to Dirty Little Secret. Around the corner and east of the main wall.

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.

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.

Broken Foot, Down Under, Shin Bone.

Mammalary Magic, and Wobbly Dihedral. The first climbs on the left (West) end of Old Sandstone.

Some rock past Everleigh Club. I think this one has a name?

More rock down the way past Everleigh Club.

More rock past Everleigh Club.

Routes right at the top of the access trail from the road.

The High Life thru Out There. These routes are to the right of Dancing Madly Backwards and left of the Freaky Face wall.

Start of trail

Swillbillies to Gargantua. Routes to right of Freaky Face as you round the corner toward Pacific Ocean Wall to the east.
<br>

<br>
Uberschmitt can share the start with Sepsen Wall (per Knower) or Tarantula (per S/M). Looks like you could start between them, too.
