South Face of Haystack, left of center and 12 m right of the Driving dihedral, is Student of the Future. A face boulder problem with 1 bolt leads to a classic 'cutter' expanding flake, then a few more face climbing bolts and easier angled rock to the summit.

Mr. Ziggy

Mystery Road

Blood Money

Steep, short, left facing dihederal, leftside of Haystack Rock.

Steep, jamming, mini classic to top of pillar then easy wind polished face to summit.

A fun route up improbable features.

Start out either to the left up a low angle trough which leads to the stance below the business of the route, or, follow somewhat sparse bolts straight up the face just right of the crest of the prow below the route.

Climb up thin seam with little to no pro for further than comfortable until a seam comes in from the right and there's a fat piton to clip.  Follow seam up as it rolls over to the left.

Finish at anchor atop Mystery Road.

The most obvious natural  route on the south face, well towards the west end of the rock. A discontinuous crack rises from the base to a bolted belay at about 120 feet. There are several cruxes, the first right off the deck. One can rappel from the belay anchors, or do a second pitch with a few  tricky moves directly above the belay, leading to easier ground and the 'summit'. Descend/scramble westwards to get off.
