When facing the Toyboat with the rock Borneo to your back, this would be the leftmost route on the face proper. 

  Starts easy with a couple harder moves at the end.

Damn The Torpedoes

Putt Putt Toot Toot

Full Speed Ahead

Gang Plank

Toy Boat

This is a fairly new route (2000 or 01?) on the Toyboat and is found immediately to the left of 'Damn The Torpedoes'. 

  The route 'attacks' the easiest path up the rock and probably doesn't even warrant my guess of 5.5. 

  I did it because I was there and I don't feel the need to repeat it.  Maybe a good first lead for your mother.

This route is found on the 'back side' of the Toy Boat - on the side opposite of 'Damn The Torpedoes'.  The last time I was there it was the only route on that face. 

  This route is a bit more vertical in nature, especially compared to the routes on the other side.  Climb up and slightly right on big holds and ledges. 

  Not terribly hard or interesting, but it works. 

  If you're seeking to top rope this route, the anchors are accessible by scrambling to the top of Toy Boat from the South side.

Pretty easy climb. Great for a warm up.  Make sure you are double checking the bolts to be safe.  Have fun.

Climb up the easy slabby "stairs" to the left of the dike to clip the high first bolt. The rest of the route remains fairly low angle and there are plenty of small holds, but the unpleasantly slick feldspar keeps your attention. This isn't a great route, and there are somewhat better options nearby at the same general degree of difficulty-- Putt Putt Toot Toot, Gang Plank, and Full Speed ahead.

The Toy Boat is a great place for an introduction to climbing in the Rushmore area.  Moderate / easy routes, short, and fairly straightforward.  Due to these factors it can get a bit crowded.  A perfect place to start your day or cool down at the end.
