Blue Shadows is a decent route up really good rock. Start up in the corner/trough that is the start of (11) Cheap Whiskey and clip a high first bolt with beige hanger well to the right of the corner crack. Pull the steep move past the bolt and scramble up and left on 4th class terrain to a big ledge. A small or medium cam could possibly protect this scramble but it's easy terrain on good rock.
From the ledge, reach up to clip a bolt and pull up onto the horizontal. Figure out the best way to move, left or right on side pulls, on bullet, smooth faces between good horizontal stances to the anchors just below the big roof above. This route is probably more difficult for shorter climbers.
Tackling the roof as an extension to this route looks hard, for a couple moves, and fun but needs some serious lichen cleansing before being done. I hope to do this sometime soon.
