Flashdance

This is the obvious route just to the right of Flashdance.  The bottom of the route requires smearing and/or standing on small edges, so it is a good route for teaching kids or first time adults.  If you have a kid without climbing shoes, just give them a boost to the crack running from the middle to the top.

For further advancement of your slab-master craft. Begin with decent feet and palm smears moving to tiny edges and foot smears.

Climb the face, located to the right of Flashdance, up and to the right over the rounded top.  Requires some thin edging and smearing.  There is an oddly shaped, sort of round indention about half-way up the route, that can be used for both a hand and foot placement.  This route will definitely force beginners to trust their shoes.  The corner of Flashdance is off.

Climb large, slightly chossy huecos to the top of the overhanging prow.

Fantastic training for the aspiring slab-master. Begin on good feet and move to thin hands and smears at thin flakes. Reach for a good hand then pad up the sloping top-out.

Finger-tips, dime-edged feet and smearing are the name of the game on this problem. Begin below a dark brown, angular flake. Enjoy the shady start and climb into the sun on a sloping top-out. Descend to climbers right.

Climb the thinly featured face just left of a left-facing corner and crack. A shallow mono-pocket and smears bring you to the top. Walk-off/down-climb to climbers right.

Follow the obvious corner to the top.  This is another good route for teaching children or beginning climbers.

The Back Porch is counterpart to "The Front Porch" up at Granite Mountain....  

  This area includes The Back Porch Slabs, as well as Jump Back Rock.
