Climb up the holed cave section just around the corner from the southeast face.

Climbing is interesting for the first 25 feet, using the giant holes as leverage and then exiting out to a slopey move that is the crux just after the third bolt.  Continue up the arete to the top anchors, and lower or walk off.

Listed as a 5.9 in the Climbing Skyline Boulevard book, I think the first move of Balance Sheet is a little harder than that.  After it, you have one bolt, then 50 feet of 5.3 huecos before another challenging move just above the second bolt.

Not a great route, but a decent warmup if you're here.

In the right side of the southeast face of Underworld Rock, climb up the very large and wide crack system to the roof about 50 feet off the ground.  Though not necessary, and medium-sized cam could be helpful until your reach the bolt below the roof.  There is another bolt just over the roof, and pulling yourself up and over is the crux.  Climbing is easy after this, and you should head left from the top bolt to the bolts at the highest point on Underworld Rock.

If you are going to top-tope this route, putting adirectional draw on the last bolt is a good idea.

On the severly long and pockety southest face, climb the left side of the slab.  Climbing begins in a flakey crack system and then heads directly up the left side of the face.  Climbing is simple until the first bolt is reached, which is about 15 feet from the top.  Once clipped in, a committing handless slab smear will scare the hell out of a 5.9 leader.  The long move is fun, but climbing on the route other than that doesn't get this route any more stars.

To the right of Up the Poop Chute, start moving right up the face to a subtle left facing corner. Make a 5.11 move through a roof crack and continue up.

First bolt is a little high but you can get to it fairly easy using the ramp system.

On the left side of the Southwest face of the Underworld, Hit Man shares the first two bolts with Drug Lord.  Upon clipping the second bolt, traverse down and right to a big hueco and pull the short roof up to a third bolt.  From here, the route meanders up past another bolt before finishing on less steep rock.

This is located on the leftside arete as you climb uphill from the large cave that sits on the southwest face of The Underworld.  Climb up the arete finding a 5.10 face move after the third bolt. Before this bolt and after this move the climbing is considerably simpler.  For a direct start, begin around the corner on the left using a single bolt on the leftside face to the arete, which sits about 12 feet off the ground on this side.  An excellent scary  traverse move will bring you over to the arete and the third bolt of the arete.

The lowest route ascending the west face of the Underworld.  It involves liebacking and reaching, and looks harder than it is.  After two bolts, mantle onto the arete, then clip another bolt before finishing.

This is the rightmost route Underworld Rock, which begins just uphill of the large crack system that leads up to the roof known as the Underpass (5.11a).

Climb up the slab to the first bolt, which seems high offthe ground, though once you get off the ground climbing is simple until you reach this bolt.  From the bolt, get over the small, off-vertical bulge to the next bolt.  Once over, walk up easy terrain to the top anchor.
