Fun Route with cool boulders
You can scramble up the boulder if you go to the right side to make it an easier start up or you can make a few unprotected moves up to the ledge. From there you have a really cool face with lots of pockets.

nice easy route for Shepherd Springs
This was a fun short bolted route. Climb up to a big ledge, clip first bolt from ledge, then straight up. Transitioning from the cliff face to the giant boulder where the anchors are, there's a long, pointy boulder sticking out over the edge - great hold, a little scary as it's resting on a slope and isn't really big.
