This is a mixed face climb that starts via a boulder  up a shallow depression to a bolt then a shallow-ish crack to another bolt near the top.

This route takes the obvious wide crack up the center of the formation.  At the bottom, traversing in from the left mitigates a hard (5.10+) start.

This is a face climb with a very unusual crux sequence.  The hard moves are well protected and not sustained.

Go up the chimney inside a protruding thick flake, then transfer up and rightward onto a shallow diagonal ramp (with marginal pro if any), then up twin thin cracks to the top.  Walk off the backside and cw around to frontside base.

This is exactly the drawn line for 1488 in the photo in the JT West book, tho 1488 is attributed to Touchy Feely to adjacent right of Look But Don't Touch.  Look But Don't Touch is not as indicated in that photo by the 1487 arrow around the corner to the left and behind.  Nothing like the route there.  Just a minor error.  Easy enough to figure out as this is the only chimney to twin cracks on this part of the formation.

Behind and to the left of the main wall of Slump Rock is another wall with a couple of bolted lines. This is the second bolted line to the right of the chimney start of Look But Don't Touch, which follows 3 bolts angling up and strongly to the right over a series of features. Keeping to the main face makes it 5.11b/c.  Capitulating with stemming drops it to 5.8.  Slab finish to the top.

[This route is actually No Touchee Wallee 5.11b/c as listed in JT West book.  The original submitter Matt has deceased.  An admin should update the route with the correct info.]

Go up the face past 2 bolts just right of the chimney start of Look But Don't Touch, cross the diagonal ramp, and continue up the face to the top.

This is a wide offwidth. If you are looking for an easy wide crack to start on or refine skills, head to this route. Otherwise, give it a miss.
