Booby Love 5.11-* (TR)
This cool top rope is on a boulder on the south end of the clump of Rocks across from the Lechlinsky Crack off of Geo Tour. The route faces south, and starts off the desert floor, on an obvious large boulder. Bolts on top . The left Arete has been top roped too at 5.10-.

This climb goes up a south-facing buttress past bolts (fixed pin?) to a 2 bolt anchor. Located on the rock formation across from the Lechlinski Cracks. Look at the South end, up in the talus a bit. Faces South.

Milk Arete 5.10d **

Vogel P. 407 Milk Arete The excellent Milk Arete is now more excellent! It now has a 2nd pitch! After the 5.10+ first pitch, you end on a ledge. There are now 2 bolts on this ledge (not put in by the first ascent party, but please leave them in anyways... bolt chopping is a very damaging thing to do to the rock, and is usually a bad thing to do for the climbing community too.). The 2nd pitch is 5.10- and goes up the next headwall steep part past 3 more bolts. Just left of the 2nd pitch of Milk Arete is Martin Luther's Thing 5.10c*, a very short steep hand crack . Just left of the Milk arete is The James Earl Ray Crack 5.4 and left of the James Earl Ray Crack is a 4 bolt face climb on a buttress that ends at a 2 bolt anchor (Ah-Goo 5.7*)...Quick Draws only.
