Safety ledge follows a right facing corner. This route is usually wet but when the conditions are right this is a great warm up for the area. It ends at the anchors above the ledge.

Start on top of a rock, near the corner that is located on the right-hand side of the slabby rock. The first bolt can be reached from the rock. The toughest move of the entire route is the first move. Climb up towards a large drill hole, then follow easy rock to the top anchors on the ledge. It is possible to follow the fractured rock to the top or move out onto the slab after the third bolt. This is now the easiest route to the ledge. Plenty of anchors for those that need them. More experienced climbers may want to skip a few.

Another quality slab that is quite technical.

Nice route that goes up very solid rock. Make some easy moves to reach a stance to the left of a sharp upward pointing flake. Move left and get established under a small bulge/roof. Clip bolts below the bulge and one bolt above it (might be reachy for some). Pulling over the bulge is the crux. Head up the steep slab (10+/11a) to a small ledge with double bolt anchors. Admire the overhanging finger crack extension (Bullistics 5.10+/5.11a) directly above you.

Use the same start as Spike Left, heading left across the first ledge. Only clip the first bolt of Spike Left to reduce rope drag. If you do not feel comfortable, then clip the second bolt of Spike Left. Another bolt can be clipped in the middle of the ledge, if needed. Follow three bolts up through an awkward corner to ring anchors. Try to use the face as much as possible because there is still a lot of rotten rock to the left. This route may be closed in the spring and early summer due to buzzards nesting in the rocks near the base.

Climb pass the first section of Hidden-mite passing 5 bolts. Once on the ledge traverse left to the anchors of Somebody open my beer.

Climb up a flake and then slab climb pass 5 bolts (5.9+) to a good stance. Climb pass four more bolts to the crux finish to the anchors.

The Tallest continuously vertical part of the cliff? Definitely an inspiring line to look at.  The climbing is pretty fun too but rock quality is an issue.  Great crux down low in the vertical drill groove for the first couple of bolts.  This is followed by multiple moves and varying rock quality (bad-ok) on up to the final boulder problem off of a sloping ledge.  This ends in a satisfying top out and the proudest perch at Rockyface.
