Stand start with hands on the shield's opposing sidepulls. From there, climb up and slightly right using an assortment of edges and bumps to reach a formidable topout.

Chronoception climbs a short, slightly overhung section of highly featured rock, over a good landing.

Stand start with a high pair of irregular micro-edges. From there, stick a short but blind left hand move to a small edge on the arete. Square up, follow with another short move to a right hand sidepull, follow to a higher left hand dimple-edge on the arete, bump the right hand up through a series of edges to a good rail before the lip, match on it, and then commit to the final slab with a mantel.

Sit start with a right hand on the arete and a left hand gaston. From there, pull up to a left hand on the arete (crux), then follow the arete on good edges to a natural break before the apex, use the shallow bumps to pull around the arete, and top it out.

Pulling off the ground from an actual sit start gives the problem its difficulty.

Pessomancy climbs an arete distinguished by a large, nose-shaped feature. The rock quality is perfect, the movement is interesting, and the landing is good.

Stand start with a high left hand on the arete's nose and a right hand on an undercling on the face. From there, match the right hand on the arete, make a big move up to a right hand gaston, position a knee on the nose to manage a smear next to the left hand, then bump the left hand up the arete next to the right, stand up and reach the lip, and mantle atop the boulder.

Stand start with opposing sidepulls on the black shield. From there, traverse right along good edges, continue trending right and up, and top out to the right at the arete's relief.

Fantods ascends a perfect undercut arete that leads to a vertical/slab face on solid sandstone edges.

Stand start on the east side of the northeast arete with a left hand undercling/sidepull and a right hand on the arete. From there, work a few smears, achieve a right foot edge, then bump the right hand up the arete (crux?), hit a left hand crimp, then stand tall to diagonal left hand rail (crux?), follow up the arete with the right hand, and top it out.

Sit start with hand matched on an obvious jug in the cave. From there, come out and match hands on a fantastic, incut edge (crux), then follow with another match on the good edge up and to the left (slightly cramped territory, as the boulder behind the problem is very close). After that, hit the lip, and top it out.

Son of Hands gollums out from a shallow cave and finishes via perfect edges on a clean slab face.

Sit start with hands matched on an obvious jug in the cave. From there, move right to an incut edge with both hands, walk the feet over and make a big move to a perfect crimp on the face, set the feet and make another big, static move to a three-finger crimp (crux?), then paste a foot on the face, make a stab for the lip or cross over with the right, and top it out.
