Second route from the left, wildly overhanging start that eases in angle after the second bolt. Easy short step up to the first bolt, and watch your ass clipping the second! Crimp clipping stance. Continue past two more bolts to the anchors.

A sustained climb up the arete on the corner.

Another sustained climb up the steep backside.

Crux is low between the 1st and 2nd bolt. Interesting, though large mellow jugs with long moves between. Great for the grade as you rarely find routes that are of this quality yet so steep! Too bad it is so short. Synonymous but shorter than other routes on the Tower.

A good steep route on the back side of the boulder.  Sustained.

Tricky start (though easier than it looks)! Head through two bolts and look for a difficult to see, but good, positive hold to clip the third. Keep trending left or you will end up on Servant of the Secret Fire (though not a bad link up). Crimpy but decent holds (crux) between the third and fourth bolts.

Sustained climbing on the uphill side of the boulder.

This beautiful wall of overhung and pocketed rock is known as the grid wall for a reason. It's not difficult to get off route or create link ups on this one, whether on purpose or accident. Get an idea of where you are going before you start up these routes.
