Fun, easy climbing (for 5.8) on (mostly) big holds.  Crux is around the 4th/5th bolt, where the headwall steepens a little.

Move up past the 1st bolt on thin moves (10a).  Continue up to the 4th bolt and move out around the corner to the right for a few moves, then come back onto the rounded arete and continue up to the 'Prada' anchor.

Scramble up blocky ledges to the first bolt. Continuous, techy, low angle climbing gets you through two bulges/mini roofs and up the right facing corner to a surprisingly easy 3rd roof. The crux is moving past the 7th bolt.

P1 (5.6/7): from the right side of the toe of the buttress head up and left toward a bolt (easy climbing, but a bit off the ground).  Pass a small lip on the left while following a thin/flaring crack seam, then head up the face past three more bolts and angle right toward the prominent bush and anchor.

P2 (5.7): go up past six bolts then move right into a crack system that leads up toward the 2nd anchor.  Alternatively, it is possible to go straight up from the 6th bolt, watch the giant flake (that may or may not be loose).

A good warm-up.

Head up the well bolted line past a fun slab section to a finger crack roof (10b).  Continue up the face to the anchor/mussy hooks.

An excellent route that features varied and sustained climbing.

Start in the fist/offwidth crack, step over to face to a bolt and continue up and right with thoughtful gear to the dihedrals.

Start up the first three bolts of Blue Steel. At the ledge above the 3rd bolt, step right and climb the thin crack in the small left-facing corner through a bulge to another ledge. Continue up the crack feature (which is more of a corner/groove at this point) until it is possible to move to the right into a right-slanting crack. Follow this crack (fingers and hands) past a bush to the anchor at the top of Finger Jockey.

Sparse protection on easy ground to a big ledge.  Step over and continue up the left side of the prow.

Climb the finger crack, step left to another thin crack for a few feet, and then traverse back right to a third crack which leads to the first bolt at the roof. Commit to some awkward moves in order to gain the roof and pass the first bolt (crux), then face climb past 2 more bolts to gain the main central crack on the upper face. Follow this easy crack (fingers and hands) to the top and belay from the fixed anchor by the bush.

Scramble to the first bolt and then work your way up and right on the diagonal feature to the second bolt.

Thin, technical slab climbing will see you through the crux and up to a welcome rest just past the third bolt.

Cruise up past three more bolts, and then work your way through another tricky section right and up, past the seventh bolt.

Climb past two additional bolts and join Blue Steel at its tenth bolt. Follow that line on the fun upper slab to the anchor.

Make your way through steep and awkward bulges to the very nice corner.

Follow the left slanting finger and hand crack (5.9) to where it ends at a small ledge on the arete.

Next, slab climb up the arete past 4 bolts. There is optional small gear between bolts 2 and 3 and a friction crux (5.10b) at the third bolt.

You can stop at the ring anchor here and a single 70 should just barely make it back down. (Tie a knot in the end.) If continuing, do not clip the anchor for pro. It will give you impossible rope drag and set up the leader to have the rope behind his/her leg.

Climb the left facing corner to the left of the anchor past 2 bolts with some funky technical stemming and smearing (crux 5.10d) to a good ledge. (If you wanted to break the climb up into 2 pitches for some reason, this would be the place to do it.)

Easy crack climbing brings you to a last mini roof crux (5.10a). Proceed past 2 final bolts to the upper anchor and belay ledge.

It's best to climb this route as one mega 65 meter pitch, but be careful of gear management and rope drag. If you do break it up into two pitches, do not belay at the first ring bolt anchor, as it will set your leader up for a nasty fall.

Climb the low angle slab up on good edges and smears to a lower angle section in the upper middle, then head up and left over a bulge (crux) to the anchor.  It is easier to go over the bulge on the left and slightly harder to go straight up at the last bolt.  The easiest line on the route overall involves a bit of lateral movement.  Generally well, but not tightly bolted.

Pitch 1, 5.11a. Climb the finger crack and then step left to another thin crack, which is followed to the roof left of the obvious triangular notch. Pull through the roof (crux) and then move up and right to a bolted anchor.

Pitch 2, 5.8 PG13. Climb up discontinuous cracks, mostly fingers, to another bolted anchor.

The route could be climbed in one long pitch, but the rope drag would probably be terrible.

Climb up and right on some cool, low-angle, white quartz. After gaining a small bulge, hook back left to reach the ledge that cuts diagonally up and right across the face. Bust a boulder problem off the ledge (crux) and continue up the upper headwall to the anchor.

Although this route is bolt protected, the bolts are a little more widely spaced than on a typical modern sport climb. Rest assured, the climbing is easy relative to the crux, and the harder moves are well protected. Use caution on the quartz as it is a little flakey. I tried to clean off any obvious loose bits, but there may still be some crunchiness.

Start up the chimney, or the easy face on the right, to gain a low angle flaring hand crack. At a small ledge, step left around the arete into a finger crack and follow this up to a mini roof and a stump. Pull past the stump and face climb past two bolts (crux) to an incipient finger crack. This crack peters out at the last bolt. Traverse up and left to the anchor.
