Stand start, use the undercling with both of your hands, set your feet, and move your left or right hand or both to the lip.

Stand start, use small, slopey crimps to gain the diagonal crack, then go back to small, slopey crimps till you reach the lip, and top out.

Stand start with your left hand on the patina on the face and your right hand on the arete. Work your feet up, and this time your left foot is on the namesake quartz crystal, and your right foot is smearing next the the arete. Keep bumping your right hand up, then do a hand to foot match on the patina hold, then reach the lip.

Crouch start with your right hand on a large, blocky ledge and, your left hand on a slopey arete, your left food smeared below the left foot, and your right foot smeared anywhere on the rock below your right hand. Move your left hand out far to the lip of the roof, then right heel hook next to your right hand. Move your right hand to the lip to a small dish, bump your left hand up to a good hold, and move your right hand to where your left hand used to be. Then do a big move out left to a good jug. While you do these moves, your right heel hook goes to a toe hook. Once you have the good left hand jug, cut your right foot toe hook. From here, heel hook the dish on the lip that you had used as a handhold, pull up, and your right hand uses a sidepull. Stand up, and traverse left once you are below the detached choss of rock sitting on top of the helmet.

Stand start with your left hand on a slopey arete and your right hand on a sidepull crimp. Your left hand stays on the arete while your right hand makes long reaches to crimps. There are times you can toe scum with your left foot on the arete or heel hook if you can, but mostly it's a face climb for everything but your left hand.

Sit start as for

, but instead of making a dyno halfway through, you keep going left. There are hard moves once the foot holds go away, making for hard crimping and sidepulls with some heel hooks. It's never been repeated, so the V6 is a guess on how hard it is at minimum.

Stand start, match your hands on the only patina on the whole slab, work your feet a bit, then move your right foot out to a quartz crystal, and stand up. Adjust your left foot, reach for the sloping ledge, then move feet up, and reach the top.

Sit start on the square block feature, and make an awkward move to establish yourself on the undercling. Traverse the undercling to the right, then make a dyno with your right hand to a sloping jug. Be careful as your hand has to avoid punching the the rock that's slightly right of the dyno.

Stand start with your hands in the large, almost horizontal crack. Move your right hand up into the vertical crack, move your feet up, move your left hand to a sloping jug, and your right hand reaches to the lip. Match your hands, and pull the lip.

Sit start with your left hand on an undercling and your right hand on a large sidepull. Pull up and left, move to a jug, then reach far out right to a huge jug. Move your feet, and match your left hand to your right hand on the big jug. Then make a big move with your right hand up to a large patina hold, match, then bump out right so you're now on the north side of the Gator Block, and top out the same as

. If you top out early once getting the large patina hold, I'm sure it is much easier.
