Start at the shrub and cracks and go straight up to the anchor, to the right of the mound

(First Ascent app calls this "Anchor 3 center left")

Christmas Tree Center

Climb the overhanging hand crack out of the small cave.

About 15 feet to the left/west of the anchor is a black water streak. The route follows it 3/4 of the way up and then veers back right toward the anchors. The crux is only 1 or 2 moves into the real climbing (not the class 3-4 slab in the begining).

This climb ascends a direct line straight up and over the bulge in the center (towards your anchor). The bulge is the crux with some decently thin moves.

Mostly easy slab, but after you walk(!) across the flat part of the big pothole, there are a few steeper, more challenging moves.

(First Ascent app calls this "Anchor 2 center", 5.10a.)

Same start as Pick Your Poison Center but with a slight variation. Instead of going directly over the center bulge move to the right and climb over the large flake and then veer back left towards the anchor.

Easy slab

(First Ascent app calls this "Anchor 1 center left")

LOCATION:

The northern most top-rope anchor (fixed bolt hangers). Roughly 500 yards from the parking lot is a series of anchor setups that ascend medium angled slab. This route is accessed via the furthest one to the north.

CLIMBS: 5.6 the hardest section, is directly below the anchor and slightly right of the black streak. Some 5-15 feet left of the black streak is some slab climbing that ranges from 5.1-5.4 and curves back right toward the anchor. 10 feet to the right of your anchor/rope is a route that climbs an obvious flake and veers back left toward the top.

PRO:Bolt hanger anchors-possibly some trad on the large flake.

APPROACH: Plenty of ways to the top but most, if not all, ascend class 3 slab. Most of the anchors are a little ways from the edge but the rope drag isn't...terrible.
