This is a classic climb done by Henry Barber when sticky rubber and crash pads did not exist. It was given a wide range 5.12 grade.  

  Start on crimps at chest height. Make a couple hard deadpoints up and right along a seam to a jug. Then make a couple big moves on big holds to gain the slab topout.

Hepatitis

This is a sustained face climb. The sit start adds length, not really difficulty. 

Goofball

Stand start on good crimps around chest height. Climb up on positive edges with some jugs. The upper portion is easy but highball.

Joint Distribution

Vegigatabla

If you face Pusherman Wall, "The Bone" is the obvious crack furthest to the right of the wall. Boston Rocks 2nd edition (p. 103) shows the route going up just to the right of the crack. I'm not sure if the intention is to use the crack for your hands and put your feet right of it, or if you are free to use the crack for your feet. We did it both ways. There are lots of good holds for hands and feet.

The Bone

Start 5 feet right of the offwidth crack at the base of the right-leaning crack. Climb straight up. The top is somewhat overgrown, traverse left or right to top out.

 Note: despite the YDS rating from ages ago, this is really a boulder problem.

The crux is the final move to the jug.  You need good balance to pull yourself to the half moon.  Very fun route, not especially hard but an interesting balance problem none the less.

Mint Chip

Jump up to the big holds just right of the high point of the arching, horizontal crack, or climb up the blocky, angling crack on the right, then traverse back left. Move up from the horizontal crack using the flake holds above to a slab topout. 

  The traverse version is one of Hammond's best easy problems, in my opinion. 

Boston Rocks rates gives this an old school rating of 5.9-.

The Snort

Sit start at the crack at the base of Hepatitis and Goofball but a foot or two to the left. Move up left to a decent crimp. Tricky footwork will gain you a "tongue" hold and a shallow pocket where a pebble used to be. Gain the crazy looking hold above to set up for the topout.

 The story is that this was a 5.11 when the pebble was still there. Now that it is gone, it is much more challenging.

Cold Turkey (AKA The Dish)

This route is on the face about 4-5 feet left of "The Bone", which is the crack route to the right of Pusherman Wall. The crack is off. Step up onto some blocks, climb up the chunky face to reach an undercling about 2 feet across. From there, it's pretty easy climbing up to a horizontal crack a couple feet below the top. 

  We found this route in Boston Rocks, 2nd edition, p. 103. There is not much beta there, just a rough drawing.

It's the Real Thing

Sit start at the bottom of the horizontal crack, and then traverse from right to left until you meet up with EZ Wider to top out.

EZ Wider Traverse

Start directly below the top of the right-leaning crack in the middle of Pusherman Wall. Climb straight up on jugs, passing just to the right of a small tree growing out of the crack.

 Note: despite the YDS rating from ages ago, this is really a boulder problem.

Overdose

I believe this route is on the Pusherman's Wall and is on the way on the side before the boulder levels off and becomes a slab. It is a short route about 4-5 moves to the topout. 

  Start right and climb out left and move up to a nice sidepull. Watch out not to barndoor and flag your foot! I did not see this route labeled anywhere, and it is short but fun! Take a turn on it!

Bannana Pancakes (aka Upper?)

In the middle of Pusherman Wall, there's an 8-inch crack. To the left side of the crack is a triangular block about 10 feet high. Climb the block just left of the crack, straight up from the ground to the anchors. The top of the block is broad, and the climbing is easy from here. It's slightly more difficult below. 

  Boston Rocks 2nd edition is confusing (p. 102). The route is graded 5.3. There's no route description, just a drawing which shows the route going straight up the block. However, in reality, the bottom of the block is fairly blank, making it much harder than 5.3. Therefore, I assume it's fair to use the arête which makes up the left side of the large crack.

Yes!

Climb up the arete on big holds. The sit start is an option.

EZ Wider

Just Say No ascends the obvious dirty offwidth on Pusherman Wall. It is a fun climb to practice wide moves on.

Just Say No

Start about 5 feet right of Overdose, and climb straight up.

 Note: despite the YDS rating from ages ago, this is really a boulder problem.

Coke

Sit start at the bottom of the horizontal crack, and then climb straight up on crimps.

EZ Wider Slab

Crouch start on the chalked up jug on the lower seam. Scrunch your feet up, and dyno to the juggy crack well above. Traverse the crack left to the topout. This is a really fun dyno problem that is a must-do when at the Temple Area.

Crackerjack Dyno

Corgi Magic is a run-and-jump problem to the right of Hepatitis aka Hepatitus, where the wall has been tagged with "Game" in red graffiti. About 3 feet off the ground is a slopey knob. Kick off this, and fire straight up to the jug at about 10 feet. Do the same finish as Hepatitis aka Hepatitus.

Corgi Magic

Stand start, and climb straight up on positive edges and jugs. This is a highball but is secure.

Brain Burners

Start at the right end of the angling crack, at the starting holds for Hepatitis. Traverse the crack up and left to the wide, vertical crack. Continue left across the crack, with your feet on the slabby ramp and your hands on crimpy cobbles around the lip. Stop at the end or traverse back the way you can.This is lowball and convenient for laps and is a good for a pump at the end of the day.

Left End Traverse

This is fun crag with interesting problems on fun rock. This crag, while short, is quite wide. It would provide a very challenging girdle traverse for someone. At times, you can lose the sense that you are in a metropolitan area while climbing here. Technique wins over brute strength at this crag.Apparently, to the left of Pusherman Wall is The Cave, a fun 7 foot cave.L->R:A. Left End Traverse, 7 or V0.B.
