Begin on a high right hand pinch on the top of the arete and a small left hand undercling in a seam. Paste your feet on and make a move to a distant jug straight up. 

  Number 7

Start left hand on a rounded sloping jug and an incut right hand undercling. Make hard compression moves toward a challenging dyno finish.   

  Number 5

This climb starts on the left side of the boulder as you approach from the trail, relative to the big highball face you see first. Starts on the right side of the face and moves left to pull through the entire feature. Start on a crimp right hand and jug under-cling left hand on the same feature. Pull left into an interesting crescent rail before matching and pulling further left into compression. Add some heel hooks and pull on slimpers to good crimps high up. Finish with a techy top out that has stolen many sends.

Start sitting on right hand crimp and left hand joke of a hold as for Assassin's Cradle Sit.  Make the first 2-3 moves as Assassins, but the line soon diverges.  Bump out left around the face through a neat sidepull to a decent edge, bumping up the slopers that lead up and left (rad!), paste your feet up high and establish yourself on the face to the left.  From here sidepulls, lichen, jugs, and more lichen lead you up the highball face to a somewhat airy move up high.  Don't blow it or 1000 papercuts won't sound like such a bad fate!

 If you can't do the dope but heinous first move it's worth doing from the start holds of assassins cradle stand (left hand pinch and right undercling).

 A bolt on top allows you to toprope or rap over the face.  I tried to brush lichen off all the key hands and feet but as it fades into obscurity and the lichen grows back I'd recommend giving it a good wire brushing before attempting...

Begin in the center of the overhanging face on a right hand side pull and a positive left edge just above the lip of the roof. Make a difficult first move and progress into flexibility-oriented climbing revolving around an undercling and slopes. A few pads and spotters help to alleviate some risk associated with the jump at the finish. 

  Number 6

Climb jugs on the right arete.  

  Number 13

SDS matched on two crescent shaped incuts and climb straight up. The crux consists of pulling off of the ground and establishing on a downward-facing sidepull out right.  

  Number 12

SDS on opposing sidepulls and climb smooth incuts to the top.  

  Number 10.

Start with your butt on the ground to the right of double tap stand.  Left hand on one of the footholds for the stand start (A comfortable rounded edge) and right hand in a good undercling.  Bad feet for pulling on, a toe hook out right is crucial and allows movement of the right hand up.  From here, gain a nice left hand sidepull edge and a brutal compressiony sequence characterized by viciously sharp hand holds and pretty bad foot holds eventually allows access to the double tap stand start holds, and from here on out the moves are much easier but definitely add some pump factor.This boulder has really cool movement and would probably deserve more stars if it weren't for the sharpness of the holds.  Grade felt like it was in the V11/12 range, I opted for 12 since it is a style that fits me but we'll see what others think.

SDS on a right incut underneath the roof and a left slope around the arete. Climb long moves to exit the roof onto the arete. A worthy adversary.  

  Number 14 

  Stand is Number 15. Starts matched high on a sloping jug and climbs the arete to the top.

Laybacks on a big crack lead to chickenheads at the finish. 

  Number 9.

SDS on a positive right facing side pull and climb straight up on sloping edges and chicken heads. 

  Number 11.

One of the first boulders encountered after crossing the stream and going up the hill. Lies just off the left side of the trail. The trail serves as the landing for these climbs. As of the current date, problems 1-4 have not been cleaned. A top-rope inspection is recommended to check problems 1-4 problems for loose rock before climbing them.
