Ascend the center of the smooth face to the ledge at half height, then step left and up to the top. The beta says not to use the arete, there are some excellent holds just out of sight around the corner. But it is totally doable going straight up the face.

The End Climb (aka Orvie)

Falling

Orvie Direct

Begin below the steep, narrow est face of the Practice Face marked with "Orvie" graffiti.  

  Straddle the left arete. A few bouldery moves get you to the large ledge. The rest is easy, but the huge hold near the top is super dirty. Somewhat contrived in that the difficulty depends partially on whether a nice layback right of the arete is used. 

A roof problem on the detached outcrop at the top of the descent trail.  Pull the roof w/o using cheater blocks.  Often top roped due to the bad landing.

The Descent Trail area includes the Falling boulder, and the west face of the Practice Face (Orvie).  Access to the top of the Practice Face for top ropes is also off the Descent Trail. 

  The Orvie face is on the left end of the Practice Face. Super beta intensive, might as well be taped. Basically there is a set of anchors at the top, get there however you can. I've included route names that are found in Rock Climbing New Jersey(A Falcon Guide; Nick 7 Sloane), but the descriptions are from my experience.
