Pull on some pockets to start.  The first two moves are definitely the crux but if you find the right hand mono comfy it isn't too bad.  A big ledge follows this where you can get a major rest before tackling the slightly overhanging headwall.  There are many many choices for holds among all of the pockets but choose wisely because the majority of them are quite brittle

A small or medium piece of gear in the crack below the small alcove might be helpful getting to the high first bolt. Climb good edges to the top. May be wet after a heavy rain.

An interesting start leads to easier climbing above.

Start on incut edges under the first bolt. Power out the overhanging opening moves with a helpful sidepull along the way. Pull the small roof at the high first bolt and continue on some sharp, but positive pockets to some precision pocket pinching between the 3rd and 4th bolts. Crank out the final moves on thinning holds, but less steep terrain.

Far right route. Bust out some bouldery moves to get up to a half moon feature at the first bolt. Then continue up a 5.10 face to send one of easiest 12's in the gorge

Start on the flake feature below the 3rd line of glue-in bolts. Find the limonite knobs and delicately climb them using an occasional high step to an anchor in the overhang above. Harder than it first appears, but good for honing footwork. A nice, but short intro to slab climbing.

The crux is getting off the ground (may be easier for taller climbers or difficult for shorter climbers). Long lock-offs on decent edges, but thin feet left of the first bolt is the easier start. A bouldery 5.11ish start on the slopey right facing left-leaning dihedral/flake feature to the right of the first bolt adds difficulty to the route. After the 1st bolt the climbing eases to 5.8 or 5.9 on good edges and pockets to a juggy ledge at the top.

True friction climbing. Unique for the Red. Smear your way up the nearly featureless slab right of Slabracadbra trusting that your feet and climbing shoe rubber will match or exceed the coefficient of friction. Some subtle mantle moves might be helpful.

Begin on good edges right of Gaian Prophecy. Thin and techy climbing will bring you to a crux that requires some good balance and a long reach. Shares top anchors with Gaian Prophecy.

Approximately 100 yards right of the main Bowling Alley routes. Continue on the roadbed below the Bowling Alley for a couple of minutes until you see a pocketed boulder on your left. This small slabby cliff capped by a short overhang is immediately after and behind that boulder. This is the leftmost route on the slab wall. It has a reachy start and a couple of fun moves, but ends way too soon.

Crank out some deceptively difficult moves up a small right facing dihedral feature. Transition to less steep terrain on shallow pockets to a large right facing flake at the finish.
