Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  In the middle of the west-facing slab is the enjoyable "Leaning Seam".  Start left of the "Leaning Seam" just before the base steps down to the overhang problems.  Delicate face climbing eases the higher you go.  Traverse off right on a ledge or wander to the top of the North Slab.

Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  At the north end of the slab is a bulgy overhang.  In the middle of this is long chalked up rail, with a chalked pocket down and left.  Grab these and crank a big reach.  The slab above is a joy to behold.  A sit down start looks to add V's for those worthy.

Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  On the right side of the slab, right of "

Leaning Seam

" and "North Slab" are two more incipient vertical seams.  A scattering of marginal holds will test your concentration and footwork as you climb past these.  It's over much too soon, however.  Traverse off right or wander to the top.

Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  In the middle of the slab is the "Leaning Seam".  A few feet to the right is this problem along a thin vertical seam.  Delicate face climbing leads to a ledge.  Traverse off right or wander to the top.

Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  At the north end of the slab is a bulgy overhang.  Grab the left hand set of holds then claw your way over the bulge.  Wander up the left edge of the North Slab to the summit or until you can traverse off right.

Approach the North Slab (which faces west) from the top about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down to the base from the south.  In the middle of the slab is a left-leaning seam.  Carefully scrutinize the wall for the two lichenless spots where you step, then set forth up the feature.  Traverse off right on a ledge or head for the top on easy jugs.  Compared to the V0s on either side, this is the easiest, but it is also the most classic.

Find the slabs to the north of main Rotary by walking above the ridge about 50 yards north of the north parking lot.  Scramble down and past the north slabs (aka slabland) to the 'Bulge Wall' to the left. The line is known as 'Big Egos, little Dicks' (as given in Benningfields' guide) and 'Bulge Wall Traverse to Exit Wall' (in the horsetooth hang handouts).  PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand the small crimp(s) above the finishing rail are chipped.  This would make the name most appropriate.

The line starts on the good flakes (seen in the right of Alan's photo), just left of the slabs off a boulder. Traverse the bulge from right to left to the good rail at waist height around the corner.  This traverse alone is V3+/V4.  Next, figure out the interesting moves to exit the wall straight up from this rail.  Uses the evil chipped edge(s) above the rail. The exit moves are stout, thin and interesting and are at least V4, if not harder. The whole line is given V7 in Benningfield and the Hang handout.
