Obvious crack that gets big next to slanderous. When looking in the cave you will notice a beautiful roof crack that actually is the start of Barnyard view's crack. If you want a longer harder climb climb out of the cave hanging from this crack then proceed up.

The Great Wall

The guidebook suggests traversing in from the right, I could not find a way to do this that was anywhere near 5.7. I suggest starting on Lumper and traversing right (5.8 crux) as soon as possible.

Slanderous is a pure face climb in Palisades. Start by climbing outside right of the cave, holds are surprising hard to get some being slick and others just not the best of quality. Move to the left when exiting the cave top. Slanderous follows an obvious Black streak down the Great North Wall. Best time to do it is on a sunny day in winter as you can belay from down below where as summer you top belay. First 2-3 moves are pure friction with tiny crimps and side holds. Towards the top you get a few better holds but its very tricky. Beautiful line.

From the water move up the slightly overhanging start until you reach a crack.  Follow the crack until you're about 3/4 up and mover right a few feet then go for the summit.

Quite a few climbs face the stream which require top belay or you can wait until the water is low and belay from rocks. The upstream face has sandstone texture.
