![]() Indeed, while competing with carefully curated first editions or rows of colorful spines is no small task, plenty of bookends steal the stage. Furniture makers have ensured that bookends demand as much attention as the books themselves.

The odd new-age bolted face route and 5.12ish crack test-piece can be found here and there throughout the cliff. The South face has three or four long chimney lines while the west face is fairly uninteresting and has one or two routes. To the right is the long narrow slab of Ancient Mariner to the left lies Orange Julius, which weaves a devious line up the aforementioned SE prow and is further identified by a large triangular roof near its bottom. The chimney is very narrow at the bottom, and then opens up, reavealing a smooth wall inside with an obvious wide crack (Hot Licks). The cliff is divided by a chimney known as the great dihedral this lies on its eastern aspect, just right of the prow dividing the S and E faces. It has quite a variety of climbing, including the unique Orange Julius (5.10a) perhaps Lumpy's best slab route in Climb of Ancient Mariner (5.10a) and several long chimney routes on its south face. The Bookend, about 400 feet high, is the last cliff of the Book group, lying just to the west of the Book and the Bookmark (as seen from the Black Canyon trail).
