Sit-start with the left hand on the arete-like feature and right hand on the undercling out right. Pull on and move up the arete and a few sloping edges before encountering some barndoor tension and a smack for jugs at the lip.

Smack at You With the Illness

Sit start with a high right hand sloping edge and the left hand with a small sloping sidepull. Find a foot and do a big lock-off/ deadpoint to the sloping rail in the middle of the wall. match for a second then pop up to the jug at the lip.

 Miles Galloway did a lower start matched on the undercling between these two starting holds, but quality and difficulty was not exactly added.

I don't give a lot of problems the bomb for star ratings, but this one brought me pretty close! This climb is actually surprisingly fun once you suck it up about the landing and dabbiness. If you are six feet tall, good luck on this one.

 Sit start under the short roof on the right side of the boulder. a slider pad would most likely be best here. Reach over the lip with the right hand and find a right hand meathook seam. The left hand goes down low along the lip of the roof on an imaginary crystal pinch. Throw the left foot right under your left hand on the only obvious foothold. Once here, you are ready to pull hard in order to establish onto the wall.

 Pull on and smack up to some textured slopers then bump up again before coming in righty. A tricky friction dependent shouldery sequence and a campus foot swap on the sloping foothold eventually leads to an ez-pz outtro and topout.

 Fun to play on while the crew rages the rest of the boulder.

A brick hard powerful one-move wonder.

 Stand start with a large left-hand undercling and a sloping right hand undercling pinch 2 feet to the right. Pull on with difficulty and find a high foot before smacking up for the full span move to the right arete of the boulder. Latch it with difficulty then bring the feet up and match before topping out in easy terrain.

 This problem was once the natural line on the right side of the block, but after the removal of some exfoliating flakes, a new hold appeared in the middle of the face before the arete. It is unsure if this hold would help for this problem or not, but the hold is considered "off" if you are trying to repeat the original powerful bicep test-piece.

This is a decent sized boulder with a nice aesthetic vertical face that is home to several rather good problems.
