Slabby, requires good footwork.  It does have a good variety of body movements.

Follow the thin crack, up to a large pod to the right.  Continue up and angle back toward the left. 

 RCM&W #59, p.167.

Up the corner to a void slab then traverse across it and up.

Scramble up next to the tree, left of Double Cracks and Hamburger Helper. Few fun moves through the short crack in the dihedral up top.

Follow the double crack system to the top of the block, using a combination of face hold, hand jams, and finger jams. This is a fun route to put someone on who does not have a solid basis in crack technique. They tend to flail at the bottom. Using just the left crack earns you a 5.10 rating.

Up the left side of the keyhole face staying to the left as you climb.

If Cobra is too much for you, get Mongoosed. Shorter climbers may find this harder than 5.8. Start at the bottom of the gully between Cobra and the Double Cracks block (exactly where Julie is standing in the 2nd edition guidebook photo, p. 105). Climb up a bit, using some holds on the Cobra face. Traverse left and pull over the roof (crux), then proceed to the top of the inside corner. An easier version (awkward 5.6) goes directly up the corner from the block above the tree.  

  BTW the next corner up the gully is short and guarded by loose rock at the bottom.  

This is a great route except for it's only a couple of moves.  Move up the finger crack on the arete also using the small ledges on the faces.  Balance and high stepping skilz are a must. 

  I have not found this route in any guide books but I'm sure someone has climbed it before.  Let me know if there is a name for this route.

Climb the somewhat slabby face to the top of the column.  This route wanders a bit between the left and right side of the face.  Not worth the trip on its own but enjoyable if you happen to be in the area. 

 RCM&W #63, p.167.

A direct line of the keyhole route.  Instead of heading right into the pod continue strait up to the top on small holds.  A very fun route.
