The route ascends a very steep and crimpy face through a bulge at half height.  The moves are tricky, and it is not a very easy line to protect with natural gear.  It felt considerably harder to me than Frogs in Space to the left.  After passing the bulge at mid height, the difficulty eases up.  There is a bolted anchor at the top.

After a bouldery start climb steep rock on crimps if you're into that sorta thing.

Bouldery start leads to an old piton (Classic Erie). Continue up on crimps to a shared anchor with Cat Fud.

Bouldery start leds to crimps and strenuous climbing, leads to anchors and chains

climb the bulging face with strenuous moves. Anchor but no chains? (not sure about that.)

This route needs to see some more action and it will be a classic.

first 25 feet are steep and hard, follow parallel cracks up to a small ledge, then up to another ledge. follow a crack up smooth rock, stem and follow the gully up to a madrone tree.

This is a decent crack climb, which takes gear well. Climb up the steep right facing corner to a bulge and step right to a small platform at about 30 feet. Step back left and follow a nice lower angle finger crack up the face to its top. From here one can either step left to climb another short right facing corner, or climb directly up the arête with 1 bolt, both keeping the route at the same grade. There is a bolted anchor at the top of the pitch on the face that you can belay or rap from, otherwise you can belay from one of the trees on top of Snag Buttress if you interested in accessing other routes from up there. The lower portion on this route is prone to vegetation, so be ready to potentially garden some placements on the way up.

Climb the first bolted line to the left of "Sunshine on a Dark Day".

4 bolts & a hand sized cam or two depending on your comfort level at this grade.

*Currently there are old rusted bolts sticking out of the rock at the start, use

extreme caution

until these are chopped as you'll get sliced up*

*

Anchors do not have chains or rings

but you can climb up and left to the top of Laus Deo and rap or lower off those chains*

This is a cool route and the whole area would benefit from a rap station placed here or on top of the right side of the buttress, incase anybody is feeling generous.

There's also a short leadable v-slot chimney that could turn this into a cool link up to get to the top of the buttress.

From an alcove on an exposed ledge, make a step up and right to access the first bolt.  Continue heading right to the arête, eventually stepping around to the right of it.  Here the climbing steepens dramatically, there are crimpy holds, which are generally good leading up to a short lower angle stretch to the chains.  Rope drag can be a HUGE problem on this route as the rope wraps around the arête.  There is a bolted anchor at the top.

This route is below the ledge of snag buttress. If you're looking at Mental Hopscotch or Snag Buttress Direct, it's directly behind and below you, look for the chains.

Climb directly up from an alcove on an exposed ledge taking care not to dislodge the hand and footholds on your belayer.  The route is steep right from the get go.  Sharp crimping up a V groove allows access to a sloping platform at the base of the overhanging finger crack.  Work up the finger crack by any means possible, the footwork is difficult.  There is a bolted anchor at the top with hangers, but no chains.  Taking webbing or quicklinks would be advisable.

This is a very fun climb up a steep face with a broken crack system.  The climb has a great combination of balance, crimping, crack technique, and technical footwork.  The crux seems to be at the third bolt where a short overhanging block must be overcome.  The climbing is sustained and a bit pumpy.  A combination of bolts and gear provide protection.  Fortunately, the bolts protect the hardest moves.

This route climbs the face directly to the right of the Zig zag corner, between Zig Zag and Frogs in space. Very enjoyable continuous movement, mostly on good positive but small face holds. The route sustains an angle that is slightly less than vertical, which means that you can use the occasional good feet for decent rests.
