Fun and interesting moves. 

  Start just left of the obvious left-trending crack, then a little ways up the crack, then straight up on right side of crack. 

warning: Loose rock around here, so the belayer or other memhers of the party should stay far away from underneath the climber. 

  . . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Nice enough moves and holds, just short. 

  Up to meet the top of the obvious left-trending crack.

Some thoughtful moves. Too bad it's not more directly on the arete. 

  Up the face just left of the arete. Finish can be made more difficult by going more on the arete or right.   (? Perhaps some lower sections could also be made harder by trying to go more directly on the arete ?)

Lots of fun moves. 

  Start up on the brownish rock. Later perhaps trend left to keep going higher.

Thoughtful moves all the way. If only it were longer. 

  Start at bottom of the narrow gully, up that for about eight or ten feet. Exit Right and up. 

  Variation: For more slopy and compression moves, continue up the gully to its top.

Short routes, mostly for Top-Roping.   Wall faces SW, slants steeply from right up to left.

  Top Rope: To get access to set up a top anchor, the easiest way is by scrambling up around the left (west) side of the Beard boulders, then traverse right (east) across above the Beard, and continue east onto steep slope above the Ear sector. 

  ? Name ? We wanted to follow the theme of head features. We felt that this wall looks about as much like a ear as the nearby boulders look like a beard. Or perhaps the lower right half of the wall has an ear on it?
