Fiddled Fingers is an arete climb that ascends a highly featured section of quality rock.

Sit start with a diagonal, left hand crimp and a pair of small bumps with the right hand.  From there, ascend the problem by slapping a left hand up the arete while working an assortment of holds with the right (crux section).  About halfway up, work through the crimps and pinch to gain a solid, jug-riddled topout.

Silent Shout is a complete compression/arete problem that ascends good rock over a good landing.

Sit start with hands matched on the arete. From there, pull up to a left hand edge, heel down, and crank up to the jug, then move out with the left hand to a big sidepull, bump the left up to a sharp edge (crux?), move the right hand up through a pair of bumps, eventually hit a horizontal left hand edge and a right hand two-finger pocket, get a right foot on the jug, rock around the arete to an edge, and top it out.

Sol Tut climbs an undercut face on mediocre rock over a great landing. Despite some questionable rock in areas, the movement is well worth a go.

Sit start with an inverted left hand undercling-pocket and a right hand edge-pinch above. From there, bump the right hand to an edge, follow to a left hand edge below it, gain a sidepull far out left, cut the feet loose and paste a high left foot, bump up through edges, achieve the feet on the face, finish up the jugs for an easy top out.

Stand start with a pair of incut jugs about six feet off the deck. From there, gain a right hand edge, pull up to a left hand edge, bump the right hand up to another edge, work the feet up, use a left hand intermediate (crux) or go straight to the lip (crux), and top it out.

Stand start with a left hand pocket and a right sidepull/jug. From there, stick a good right hand pocket, work the thin feet out left, gain a left hand and right hand edge (crux), work the feet under, then continue to a right hand sidepull, and eventual top out.

Staying low on the start is key to making the first move.
