The following two routes take the main buttress.
  Long Lost E5 5c 
The left hand line.
  Mis-spent E5 6a 
The central line
  Jesus Christ Pose 10m E5 6b 
Starting in the corner crack (with a small tree growing above you) gain the break/ledge above and make a raising traverse left. Make a long reach out left to a cusp and then friction moves finds you in a hands free standing position. Continue leftwards using undercuts until you reach a large scoop at the top of the crag. Exit left past a small pine tree.

The next route climbs the boulder on the left.
  A Northern Soul E5 6b

The right hand edge of the boulder provides a testing boulder problem.
