Begin at the center of the slab at a short shallow right facing corner that forms a slight bulge eight feet up the slab. Climb up the center of the shallow corner and the featured slab above.

The Finger Crack

This is the obvious low angled crack to the left of smooth sole. A great introduction to first time climbers.

This is one of the best climbs in the area. The climb is located to the right of the obvious fist sized crack. It goes directly up the center of the smooth white slab. There are no bolts on the face so you will have to set a toprope (or free solo). The climbing is easier then it looks. You just have to keep an eye out for the small edges that popup right when you need them to.

Start up a pair of cracks on either side of a detached block below a deep flaring jam crack.  Two or three moves with good hand jams and you're on top.  A short route.

Another short Rubidoux treat!  Either jam and walk it up or lieback it.  The bottom inside of the crack is featured enough to hook your tips in addition to whatever jam you get; for me it's just fingers, but would be tight hands for someone with smaller hands

A super classic ... if you like thin, slightly sharp and grainy face climbing.

This is a fun problem up the steep slab next to the diagonal crack.

The 1995 Fry guide rates this 11d.

Located around and to the right from the Smooth Sole Slab, this is a nice lieback problem on good rock. It is also prone to sprouting vegetation these days when not shown love--evidence of Rubidoux's increasing dispopularity with boulderers.
