Start with an impossibly small crimp and a dish for your thumb, with feet on the huge ledge. A couple desperate moves deposit one into the amazing hand crack that finishes Flight of the Navigator. Time for the crimping men and women to pull out some traditional skills and jam to the top! Fun through and through!

Start at the giant flake and climb out the hands crack to the right and around the corner.

This is a lesson in thin techniqual climbing, which is much different then its neighbors. Stand start on crimps on the seam that moves up and to the right.  Move up and right to a horizontal seam.  Some techniqual foot work allows you to make a big move to another horizontal seam.  More good foot work allows you to go for a crimp out left, fall here and you'll land on the small tree.  Make one more big move up and right back into the seam to a decent hold and then top out the slab.

Work around the giant flake below the start of the crack (either left or right, though left seems to put one in a harder position). Lay back or finger lock if you can get them in; rattly at places as well. Hold it together with some good footwork and you're free into the trees that gaze over the top of this wall. Exit to the right down a shallow gully.

Start on the left side of the giant flake, move up through the little roof and out onto the bomber hands crack. Breathe it out to the top and you're good to go.

Sit start on the farthest right side of the alian wall.  Either matched or with left had out in side pull slot. then move out to horizontal crack on face, or stay on faint arete. go up to large crack using cool sloping holds.  you could continue on the arete line for a harder scarier top out. maybe contrived but fun

This is the next section of rock one is rewarded with after the short hike along the flagged trail. There are two cracks that run parallel up this wall directly in front of where the trail meets this wall. The rock slowly becomes less climbable to the left, while gaining height and more features to the right. All in all, about 50 ft. long, and 20 ft at the highest. Perfect and flat landing all along the base.
