    From the extreme left end of the large ledge, make a surprisingly difficult move up to gain the arête, then step left and go up the slab on small holds to the top. The arête can be gained much more easily from the right.

    The crack directly above the left side of a large block on the ledge.

    Take a line up the highest part of the front face on good holds to a solid chockstone, then finish up the jamming crack.

    Climb the left side of the arête right of Wam.
