For Lichen, the Swartling book says to climb one of the large flakes. If you start up the right flake, the top is dirty and overgrown so traversing to one of the routes on the left would be a more enjoyable finish.

View of the top of Two Pines Buttress. <br> <br> (The top between Nine-Minus and Fungus is dirty and has 2 weed covered ledges. I placed my anchor for Eleven-Minus to the left so the rope fell nicely on the route, but I finished the climb the same as Nine-Minus.
Moldy Buttress left-most routes. <br> <br> (Horticulture has a couple other possible starts left of the one shown here.)

Top of Moldy buttress as viewed from East Bluff Trail. You could easily walk right past this one without noticing it because it's smaller and doesn't jut out like other buttresses along the trail.

Moldy Buttress - center and right side. The top between the lines for Eleven-Minus and Fungus is pretty dirty and has 2 weed covered ledges.
