Sit start using obvious hold in the center of the slab. Climb straight up. Once you reach the huge ledge a foot below the topout, it might be best to traverse left to topout as the stone at the topout directly above the start feels loose and quite sketchy.

Stand start, right hand should look for the two-finger hole about chest/neck height, left hand can go up a bit to a vertically-oriented hold (both are chalked up a bit from previous use and should be easy to see). Feet in obvious footholds below. Good warm-up for other climbs on this slab.

A great warm up or first outside bolder for beginners. Stand start on the ground and use the detached rock at the bottom to climb straight up the line where the rock color changes. Top out is probably the crux but not out of line for the rest of the climb. Landing is pretty flat but there is a detached rock/boulder at the bottom that could come into play but probably wont. A couple pads are a good idea.

Stand start, both hands on generous hold about chest-height, feet on narrow ledges below (a more generous angled foothold can be found a little bit up and to the left). Traverse right, some smearing required; very small toe-holds along the horizontal crack here. Straight up to topout, watch out for the slender branch overhanging, or go right a bit to avoid it.

You can get a good campus move in then a dead point to some awesome delicate balancey moves high ball moves to a throw for a jug just below the top   

Sit start with hands on the left side of the fin. Work your way up the right side of the sloped fin without using the loose rocks and boulder near the base. A little finesse and a bit of delicate footwork will see you through to the finish.

Sit start with both hands on a wide ledge about 2 feet off the ground. Feet can go anywhere on or underneath the boulder, as long as they aren't on the dirt. Only use the holds that are directly above the starting ledge. Top out under the right side of the roof, then exit to the right of the roof.  

  Downclimb it or walk uphill to get back to a trail. Once on the trail, take a left to get back to the Teacher's Overlook.

Sit or squat start from the same spot as Game of Stones, under the edge of the roof. Traverse left the left of the hand crack then topout. 

  Very easy route but good topout practice.

This highball boulder or short top rope has an overhung bottom half and a vertical top half with unique holds. If bouldering, beware of hold breakage potential. This is a new line, and the holds are rather thin.  

  Stand start with both hands on a large ledge-like hold. Make a couple moves trending slightly right to establish yourself on the vertical face. Once on the vertical face, head straight up for the pine tree. 

  Give this one plenty of time to dry after rainfall so that the holds don't break!

Sit start below the left edge of the roof, traverse on the ledge to the far right - then top out using only the holds on or below the roof.

Sit start on a slot and a small crimp deep under the roof. First move crux pop up to a crimp. From here follow the rail to the easiest exit over the lip. Traverse back left once on the face and follow it to the top, just right of the scoopy-dihedral. There might be a line that doesn't wander out right...

Sit start to Mentor Overhang.  Start as Booster Shot, trend right on small crimps, gain start shelf for Mentor Overhang, but, keep feet off of free standing block as you progress towards roof.  Finish around roof as Mentor Overhang.

Sit start and climb straight up through delicate moves until reaching small crimps a bit short of the lip. Crux is figuring out how to get to the lip.

Start with hands on shelf and feet on free standing block.  Reach back for angled crimp and work up to nice holds on left and right side of roof.  Work right and exit up through second roof.

This problem will get better with more traffic. Start on a somewhat vegetated slab and use edges and in-cut horizontals. Follow the path of least resistance until reaching broken features above the slab, then trend slightly right. Aim for the outcropping fifteen or twenty feet above the ground, bypassing two small trees on the left near the top. Use care at the top; there still might be a bit of looseness up there. Promises to develop into a classic warm-up and beginner problem.

Sit start on positive holds with feet under roof.  Tough start move leads to nice crimps on face.  Exit up and left.   

  Room for exit variations straight up and to the right. 

  Possible extension starting under roof - see picture.

Sit start to Scareface.  Start on obvious shelf below stand start of Scareface.  Use feet, crimp, shelf, and whatnot to gain ledge and continue on.

Sit start the same start as Clouds. Veer right under the overhang and onto the face. Top out without using the huge detached block on top.

Start in the slot on a ledge. Small crimps and perm-moist holds gain the lip.

Sit start way low (is there such a thing as a "lay start") with both hands on obvious hold on the point of the arête. There is a good heal to start to the right. Climb and top out straight up the arête. Top out has a tree in the way but can be done without it. Landing is sketch for both the climber and spotter. If you fall past the small flat area you might continue down a steep rocky hill. Crux is the start or the top out. Probably a 3 star if not for the landing and tree at the top out.

Start on obvious cluster under the roof. A tricky and powerful sequence gains the start holds of The Freshman. Follow right from here.

Big moves from the ledge to the sleepy slot.

It'll warm you up--no electricity required. 

  Sit start, work hands up the diagonal crack, get hands up to the top and top out.

Start in obvious hole under the roof. left hand gaston jug. right hand undercling pinch/crimp. climb the path of least resistance.

Same start as One Two Arête Direct, move up holds and top out to the right. Not flat, but a much safer landing than the direct variation and the trees don't get in the way of toping out. Slightly easier than the direct variation.

This route climbs better than it looks. Sit start low on the left side of the cave-ish area, Climb out left and top out straight up. The somewhat detached blocks above are on, but the detached blocks at the base of the vertical face and the completely separate boulder to the right are off.

Start sitting mid-cliff as per Pop-Quiz, go ip to shelf, traverse along shelf into The Coach.

Sit (or squat) start using the same general start point as Game of Thrones, right or left of the edge of the roof. Traverse the start wall to the left, using generous footholds, cracks, and underclings. 

  Navigate to perpendicular wall and traverse left using footholds on the wall and the top for hands. The large shelf near the wall is off. Topout at the farthest left point of the perpendicular wall. 

  Fun route, the slopers between the little trees on the perpendicular wall can be tricky.

Stand high on crimps between the first and second roof. Huck to the lip.

WARNING! Banning is a new area and a lot of holds are breaking! Some a have been big and unexpected. Use extra caution when climbing. 

  Forested sandstone cliffs and ledges along the Kettle River. Rock quality is mostly good with pockets of choss. Boulders range from lowball to highball and landings range from good to horrible. This is a new area (summer 2014) so holds may break and almost everything needs cleaning. Many topouts are dirty. Please keep cleaning to a minimum as this is a new area (summer 2014) and overly aggressive cleaning may be frowned upon and result in a loss of climbing privileges.
