The Whale's Tail
Decent from the Whale's Tail: You can rappel off of both belay stations shown in the picture.  The rappel will bring you back down to the belay ledge.  You will need a 60m rope or two ropes for the rappel off of the West Crack anchors, or you can rappel and down climb about 10ft with one 50m rope.  You can rappel with one 50m rope off the West Dihedral anchors.
1 -- West Crack (5.2) -- Pretty straight forward, start at the belay ledge and climb up.  First few moves are the hardest.  Pro is good and is everywhere.  Bring some stoppers and a set of cams for sure.  This routes is a great first trad lead.

2 -- West Dihedral (5.4) -- Start to on the south side of the belay ledge.  Find the nice left facing dihedral and climb up it.  Follow it up and around a small small roof. The roof looks harder then it really is.  There are lots of nice jug holds around it.  Bring a few tri-cams and a set of cams.

3 -- West Face (5.5) -- Climb the face between the West Crack and the West Dihedral.  This route is easily top roped from the West Dihedral anchors.  If you lead this on trad in can be a little run out, but the climbing is good.

4 -- Clementine (5.5) -- Start at the belay ledge and traverse right, or do what we did and set up your own belay station around the corner.  Follow the crack up to the summit.  Some great exposure off to the north side makes this climb worth doing.  Decent is off the West Dihedral anchors.

5 -- Jack the Ripper (5.9+) -- This route climbs the dihedral left of the diamond shaped roof on the north side of the Whales tail.  Climb up to the roof and then traverse right out under it.  Then finish and decend of the West Crack anchors.

6 -- Unknown Route (5.7-) --  This route is not in the picture, but it is right next to the West Dihedral.  Start with the West Dihedral, but once you get to a hornizontal crack, head right to a good flake.  Climb the flake up to a second horizontal crack and then head left and connect back up with the West Dihedral and finish.
