The Apron sports some of Squamish's most notorious routes mainly due to the fact that the first ascentionists placed very few bolts and nobody is going to start adding any more in the near future.  Bold runout slab climbing is the name of the game although several more sedate crack climbs can be found on this large sweep of rock.  Probably the best moderate multi-pitch in the North-West, Deidre, 5.7+,  follows a striking dihedral for seven pitches of climbing to the top of the Apron to finish on Broadway ledge.  It was my first multi-pitch climb and I still enjoy getting on it at least once every season.  Other classic lines include: Snake, 5.9; The Grim Reaper, 5.10b; Banana Peel, 5.6, St. Vitus Dance, 5.9 and Unfinished Symphony, 5.11b.
