Face and discontinuous crack climbing up the left side of the slab. Crux is the roof-move to the anchor.
obvious slab to the right of the central routes. Shares an anchor with route #8.
4 bolts + anchors. Routes 7 and 8 were intended as mixed routes. Small rack of wires and cams up to #3 recommended if you want to protect the runouts, or forgo the gear to make it "sporty".

Do take a #2 or #3 cam to protect yourself from a ground fall... or just run it out.
Seems pointless to have this route (or any routes at this crag) be mixed trad/sport. If it were up to me, I would just put in another bolt so noobs can lead it safely and remove the PG13 rating. Same goes for route #8. It's not like you are going to learn to climb trad by placing one cam half way up a bolted slab... to bolted anchors at the top. ;-)

Mixed routes may seem "pointless" to some, but it's the way the FAist put it them so we've left them as originally conceived. People should treat this as an opportunity. These are actually good training routes for beginning trad leaders since the initial moves are bolt protected and the gear-section is easy climbing.
