Election Fraud Rules

On the right end of the NE face are two parallel 40' cracks.  This is the left one.  Steep and juggy.

This route is to the right of Wild Goose Chase and left of Clipper. Climb a short crack behind the tree to a stance. Go up thin face to a roof (Wee bit loose). Go left, up and mantle on a ledge. Exit out right. This route can be led with some trickery. Double rope technique is a good idea.

Two cracks to the right of "Student Body" is this 50' crack with a large finger of rock at the start.  Pull into the crack and work through the wide slot above.

This is the leftmost of 3 cracks on the SW face.  You need some small wires for the crux.  50' long.  A fun route.

This is the first crack section just left of the nice brown buttress in the center. The crux is a very strange low angle groove. It looks 5.2 but guess again! A must do for the connoisseur of the weird.

The buttress in the center of the face has beautiful brown rock and a thin finger crack that doesn't reach the ground. Face holds lead up to the flake system on the left center of the buttress to a stance just left of the crack. Step right into the thin crack and jam the clean fingery crack to a notch at the top. 2 stars out of 5.

This is the short finger to fist splitter in great varnish on the right extreme end of the NE face of the Polka Dot Dome. Better than it looks.

The rightmost route on the SW face takes a thin crack with some face holds.  Mantle onto a horizontal at half height, and heel-toe your way up a chimney to the top.

This thin triple crack is almost dead center in the middle of the face. Fun finger jams, knobs etc., lead to a dead end below a roof (little loose). Exit left on a ramp and straight up. 2 stars out of 5.

The left-most route on the NE face is a straight-in hand and fist crack.

Climb the face holds on brown rock to a stance where there is a flake system going up and slightly left. The flakes curve off left onto a ledge but you can continue up and right on face holds to the notch. 2 stars out of 5.

To the left of Gropler Zorn is this diagonal crack on great varnish with a fair amount of lichen. A green lichen "waterfall" spills from the bottom of the crack. A short quality climb.

On the SW face/ left end of the Polka Dot Dome. This is the second crack from the left. It is actually three cracks in a flare on great varnish.
