Areole

Face climbing with some features half way up.

Same start as Areole then angles right over the bulge.

Slab climbing for first few bolts then breaks left to dihedral. After going left follow bolt line up to chains.

Start at High Anxiety and traverse under roofs and then up dihedral to chains of Max's Variation. Crux is definitely at the beginning.

This route is not really on the Lost Hawk Pinnacle, but is right across on the Rollingstone.  If doing the routes on Lost Hawk, this a good way to round out the day.  Airgasm starts in a tricky seam/crack to the left (about 20') of the bolted route Stupid Human Tricks.  Climb the seam and trend right into a right facing dihedral.  Good pro lead through a large roof.  I think a 4 Camalot protected the lip encounter (although it may have been a 3).  Continue up easier rock and finish at the SHT two bolt anchor/lower off.  The roof moves are exceptional and the start adds a little spice.  Certainly worth doing if in the mood for an airgasm.  Faces south.  Should be given stars in the guidebook.

This is actually on the Rollinstone wall just before Lost Hawk pinnacle. It has an extremely difficult start for a 5.9 and then really bulgy slab climbing angling right to the anchors. The 5.11, Stupid Human Tricks, goes up and left at the overhang. I thought it was the funnest slab climb I have ever done.

Getting off the ground is hard and the Blue metolius cam doesn't inspire the most confidence.  Low angle and easy but poorly protected climbing leads to two bolts then a slot with two cracks get you through the roof.

Once you find the holds, the start is pretty easy, then you get some thin moves on rolling slab-like terrain. An obvious thin and tricky crux about half-way up leads to some fun exit moves between the bulges. There is some slight runout in a couple spots on easy low angle moves; shouldn't be a problem unless the route is near your limit and/or you are under 5'7" since that might make it harder to clip the bolts after said runout.

This is a variation to Feminine Hygiene.  It starts on FH then at the roof it moves left to a finger crack that looks like it was cut with a lazer.  Surmounting the roof via this crack is tricky to keep it on grade but fun once you figure it out.  It briefly joins FH again then works left and up face to a single bolt below the final bulge.  The first move is hard and the lower half is a bit sketchy because of dubious pro.  Fortunately the climbing is pretty easy.

Just when you think you have it in the bag you hit the final headwall.  Thin balancy face with some sustained climbing.

Hard start to thirty feet of difficult no hands step up slab climbing except for the mantle.  After the bolted face you get to the roof and the finger to hand crack.  Where the hand crack jogs left move right into a thin fracture that leads to a big horizontal.  A bolt protects moves to the chains.

A short right facing corner with pods and pockets.  Better than it looks with a tough finish.

Some chimneying and stemming with get you up this route that goes up the left side of the two roofs.

Not sure why this never had an R rating.  Twenty five feet to the first piece of gear and the crux move is close to 20 feet off the ground.  Lots of potato chip flakes along the way force you to stay focused even on the easier ground.  At the top there is no pro until the final move and is about 5.8 if you follow the seam until you can step left into the final crack.  If you bust left 10 to 15 feet lower instead of following the seam it is easier. 

  SQ II says that it is easier at the top if you move right.  Actually, and it is obvious, you move left to avoid the unprotectable seam that leads to the top. 

  Climbing is scary and the moves are not fun enough to warrant the risk of injury on this one.

Similar to its neighbor More Than A Handful, this route ascends the undulating face.

Nice little area to climb that offers everything from slab to roof cracks. Wall faces south-east.
