Start on left-leaning ramp, continue traveling diagonally left until you turn onto an arete and follow chickenheads and small horns up to a summit ledge. Protection is sparse but climbing is easy and fun. Bring small gear to protect. Alternative finish to the right after the arete is more run out but easier climbing.

Follow the Bolted arete to a 2-bolt anchor with lower offs.  

Great mixed line up seemingly blank face. G&G sports at least 5 new bolts and and a number of magical goblin pockets that eat up gear each and every time the ghouls get too close for comfort

Super fun movement up a 5.7 chimney with interesting body position. Crux is down low before the chockstone. Use caution near the bottom of the chockstone which has bad rock, but the chockstone itself is solid. I have to disagree with EFR... the book says worthless at the top, we thought it was lots of fun!

This is the large right facing corner system that is easily identified from the road. Makes for a nice warm up. Only unfortunate thing about this route is that you have to top out and hike off the back side. The summit of Hearthstone is neat but this climb would be better with a solid anchor for getting back down to the ground at the terminus of the crack system, because the only thing more badass than climbing is more climbing!

Deceptively steep corner with fun stemming and jamming down low.  Up higher, follow a face crack.  Pitch two moves left and then right and up.  Limited protection and some hollow rock but easy climbing.  If you don't have rope drag on pitch one, consider doing the entire route as one long pitch.  Fun climb.

Follows a bolted face with intermittent cracks to a 2-bolt anchor.

Scramble up a moderate crack system before breaking far left to clip the first bolt.  Face climb through another three bolts before a committing to more featured rock.  Plug a last piece and enjoy easier climbing to the anchors.

The crux is traversing right at the 4th bolt which leads to cool compression moves up weaknesses on a fairly blank face. These seams lead you to the right of the blunt arete left of Trick or Treat. As the angle kicks back your relief will quickly turn to trepidation as the bolts lead you left onto a nearly edgeless slab. Aggressive shoes are better left in the pack for the second half of this climb. Place your foot, find your balance, rock your weight over it and press up. That sticky rubber sole will do it's job.This climb joins Separate Ways for about 10 feet and after discussions with Steiger who did the FA it was decided that one bolt in that section would not diminish the character of the route and it would open up another worthy line.  

High quality sport route in middle of Hearthstone. The climbing starts from the 1st move and doesn't let up until just before the anchors. Stay on bolt line or risk disturbing suspect rock.

Large west facing buttress opposite Chimney Rock.  (There are two formations across from Chimney Rock.  The uphill slabby formation is Friction Rock.  The downhill steeper formation is Hearthstone)
