Climb a slab past two bolts to reach a left-slanting dike system which is followed up to a third bolt where you'll encounter the crux. Once past the crux one more bolt leads to anchors at the top.

Enjoyable moves, quality rock and the suberb view from the top make this a route worth seeking out if in the area. Two stars out of five.

This obscure climb does not see too many ascents, which is sort of a shame, because it has lots of interesting climbing on it. It has chimney, face, crack, mantel; all sorts of climbing on it. Worthy of a visit.

Located on the far left side of the Negropolis formation. Start at a chimney, moving on to the face at a thin flake, then 3 bolts on a slab to the top.

From the same elevated starting ledge for Astrophy, traverse past where Astrophy quickly turns vertical, to go across further rightward for approx 20 ft more to a fun bit, that connects with the easy crack that stays to climber's right of and parallels the upper half of I Fall Therefore I Am.  Finish upward and rightward along jugs leading to the bolted rap anchor atop Metal Highway.  Done by having gone off route from Astrophy.

Located on the left side of the Negropolis formation.

Begin 30 feet left of Dance On Fire in a deep alcove/corner. Jam/chimney/stem a burly crack in a flare (5.9+/5.10a) then climb a delicate face (5.9+/10a) past two closely-spaced bolts to the top of the pillar.

This is a steep, exciting face climb on high-quality rock. Begin with the first two bolts of Rap Dancing, then move left to the arete and climb past two more bolts on impeccable rock up to a 2-bolt anchor.

Begin about 20 feet right of Tap Dancing and climb a flake up to a slightly overhanging bulge (crux) then up the steep face joining Crossover for its final 2 bolts. (6 bolts total).

The main hazard of this route is a big Yucca with sharp spines near the base. Take care when leading or toproping (due to rope stretch) not to fall into the Yucca!

Start just right of Girls in the Mist and climb the face at a vertical white dike.

Begin just uphill and right of B for Beers and climb a low angle face to a steep arete with three bolts up to the B for Beers anchor.

This is the crack system right of Love Bandit. Climb a somewhat unprotected squeeze chimney, then (staying in the right branch of the crack) stem and jam your way to the top. Beware of numerous loose flakes.

Steep, runnout face climbing past three bolts on the left side of the Tap Dancing pillar.

Located on the left side of the Negropolis formation. Climbs the steep face on the right side of the Tap Dancing pillar.

10c if you climb the face at the start without stemming on the back wall.

Located on the far left side of the Negropolis formation.

Begin from about 20 feet up the gully left of Slab Prancing, moving right on to a face with a thin crack.

Located on the left side of the Negropolis formation. This is a steep face climb up the outside face of the largest pillar. TR or X rated lead.

This route is on a rather large black block, somewhat up and right of the B For Beers route.  Starts around the rightmost corner.  Bolted protection

"Just Smrz It" ascends a steep face, on the left shoulder of Negropolis, via a thin crack with a pod. Where the crack ends continue face climbing on flakes and edges to an overlap split by a crack, near the top. Pull the splitter crack in the overlap and continue up the face and blocks to the top.
