Sit down and grab the flake. Get the right edge, match and top out right.

Climb the face left of Bad. Start left, finish right at high point.

Starts at the base of the small cave with your legs inside the cave and hands on the shelf. Climb the roof via pockets. Exit up one level and continue traversing left with your feet on the knobby shelf and hands on the slopes above. Top out left or step off.

Cool karstic boulder with a couple easy warm-up routes. 

Layback the crack on the front of the boulder.

The vertical crimp test piece of Barton Creek.  Full grade harder than Tiny Dancer probably still easier than the borg, so v5/v8. Grades are dumb this route starts on a banana and is a lot of fun! 

Offwidth the crack on the front of the boulder

Sit down with hands on the flake undercling. Climb the prow to exit just left of Bad Belly.

Sitdown and grab the scab. Climb sharp pockets up and right.

Climb the pocketed prow left of Doublewide.

Sit down with the left hand on the slanted edge, right hand on the layback hold. Climb the arete.

Stand up and climb the slight prow to exit at the point where the tree branch brushes the top of the wall. 

 Guidebook says it 'needs a sit down start to achieve ultra classic status'.

Begins with both hands on an obvious rail and slightly high feet. The "skirt" at the bottom is a different rock and should be considered off. Make your way up the face towards the top right of the boulder (circled red). With the tree branch in the way the easiest top-out is the right side of the arete.

Described in the guide as a 'pocket splattered gem for Austin-area hard people. Thin pockets, long pulls, and tough top outs.'
