Although the rock looks rather unpleasant, this problem actually isn't too bad. Start on high incut edges and follow somewhat sharp edges, a pinch, and a sharp pocket to reach the lip of the boulder and top out. Although the holds are a little sharper, it can also be done as a sit start at about the same grade. The crux is probably finding the actual holds.

Two Minutes of Hate

Electric Avenue

Neon Light

Classic! A very tall line that follows a beautiful crack up the imposing face of the Electric Avenue boulder. Stand start on some juggy sidepulls in the crack and work your way up until the crack ends. Make a tough transition to the next crack at about 15' and follow the sweet finger crack to the top...just don't blow it here!

A decent problem with a frightening topout. Stand start on the arete on some good holds with a tree conveniently placed directly behind you. Make a long move to a good pocket and cruise up on some massive sculpted jugs. Make use of a good undercling and pocket on the arete and commit to the sloping, often dirty topout. Degrading beached-whale moves may be involved. Try not to fall, it won't be pretty considering the tree in the landing zone. I thought the entire V2 grade was in the topout. If you want to bail, downclimbing from the top is very easy.
