Start with both hands on a jug where the crack changes angle. Make one big move up to a diagonal seam at the top of the boulder. It is contrived, as there are holds available on the face.

Fix Bayonets

This is the red line on the topo photo. Sit start with both of your hands on jugs at the rightmost end of the crack, the same as for First Watch. Traverse left and up into the higher part of the crack where the crack splits. The holds are all good; the challenge is keeping yourself off the ground on such a low traverse.

Start with hands in the horizontal crack about a foot right of Fix Bayonets. Pull up to a good right-hand jug, then flag all the way up to the topout holds.

Start with both hands in the horizontal crack about 4 feet right of the diagonal break. Move straight up to an easy topout.

The Trenches are a line of conglomerate puddingstone that stands 6 feet tall by maybe 40 feet long, with a horizontal crack system spanning the length at about hip height.  

  Short boulder, soft and flat landings, good holds, and easy top-outs make this boulder a good option for warming up if you don't have a pad.
