Five feet left of Yosemite Crack. Do the bottom slab of Yosemite crack and they finish up the wall using the cracks and grips to the left of Yosemite crack. Well worth doing if you setup anchors for Yosemite crack since the climbing is completely different.

Yosemite Crack

Start at the overhanging fang feature and climb offset hand crack to a thin seam with face moves to the top.  Recently scrubbed the holds and removed some loose rock, but would clean up with some more traffic.  Worthwhile and fun climb if you're in the area!!

Farris MN/WI Falcon climbing book lists this route: solid short climb if in the area. Some fun moves to dance across the face. Wish it was taller.

Use holds on the right side of the triangle, grab the prow, and continue up.

This route is often dirty due to lack of traffic.  Climb the face to the right of Lost Ego.

Follow the slightly less than vertical hand and fist crack to a large pod.  Make some commiting moves out of the pod (crux) and continue on the finger crack to the top.  This route protects well for its duration and is probably my favorite lead at Taylor's.  A large cam (#4 camalot) adds some security for the crux.  For Minnesota multipitch fun climb Sentinel Crack as a second pitch.

A classic for the area.  Follow somewhat slabby, broken and run out terrain past a broken tree stump to a small ledge (5.6ish).  Follow the double cracks to the top.  Crack technique helps but is not required.

Another area classic, if only the climb were longer.    The climb begins on a small ledge about half way up the cliff.  Two option exist for reaching the ledge.  You can either climb the face below (5.10a) or climb the bottom of Sentinel Crack and traverse left to reach the bottom of the climb.  I'd recommend the face below unless you are leading.  The crux of the climb is getting off the ground.  The climb starts out as thin hands and slowly widens to fists at the top.

This cliff is located in a highly forested area and offers respite from the sun on hot summer days.  This is a smaller area but contains a high percentage of quality crack climbs.  The lack of beginner climbs and the somewhat exposed approach make this a less than ideal spot to bring beginners.
