Stand start with two good edges right next to each other at about head height. Move up and right to a few incuts and mantle into the scoop with some difficulty. Commit to the smeary feet and top out on easy slab.

As of yesterday (Feb 24), this is still pretty dirty, but with further traffic it will clean up well.

Start with whatever edges are in reach. Make your way up the dirty slab. The movement is great, but this is going to require some major brushing before it cleans up completely.

Start with a right hand on a slopey ledge and a good left pinch. Head up and right along the arete. Great ergonomic holds and fun movement.

This is it. This is THE CLIMB of Potter's Point. Is there anything about this climb that isn't awesome? Well, maybe the landing, but that just makes this line even more proud.

Sit start matched on the big flake. Make some burly moves up and left until reaching a good edge at the lip of the steep overhang. Break right using some small intermediates to a crystalline crimp in the middle of the dimpled face. Execute some dark sorcery and hit the inviting gaston jug. Hero jug to top out.

Sit start matched on the obvious flake. Head up and left using a block and some good edges. Go to the higher flake beneath the tree. Tunnel through the tree to top it out.

Brilliant! A new Santa Barbara classic. Great movement between good holds.

On another note, tread lightly on the block. Hopefully it won't break, but it's flexing a little...

Start in the corridor matched on a good edge. Make a long move out to the arete and continue to the top. Sadly, this is a woefully short problem, and would be wonderful if only it were 3-4 moves longer. However, it is still a worthy warm-up for the harder problems on the Debra Boulder.

Follow the arching arete to the right of Debra. The holds don't exist lower down, so start on the small boulder and reach up for a high triangle pinch for the right and a nice sidepull pinch for your left. Pull on with some difficulty and have a blast using all manner of pinches, slopers, and edges.

Start with a left hand sloper on the left arete and a right pinch on the right arete. Maneuver your way up the narrow face between the two aretes.

Start matched on a big flake at chest height. It flexes a bit, and will eventually break, so be wary. Make a few burly moves up and left through the hueco. Wonderful as a warm up to the harder stuff in the area.

Start on two slanting crimps just under the minioverhang, and a hidden foot out left (obscured by bush). Pop up left to a slope, and move right to a jug (avoid dab on tree) and a fun juggy sequence to top it out.

If it gets done it will likely be the hardest problem in Santa Barbara.

Sit start at the big flake. Instead of heading left like Debra, go straight up to a pair of nice crimps. Make a huge move up to a marginal sidepull pinch. Make another big move up right to a poor sidepull edge. From here, either go straight and try to get to jugs (far away), or make an insane left cross to a good edge and join up with the Loser arete.

Very intimidating, but the falls are clean and the moves are there.

You should do it.
