This short boulder is in the back side of the boulder field. It is only about 3'-4' tall, but is almost a perfect rectangle and is about 12' long and 6' wide, making for a fun heel traverse. There are no feet below the edge, forcing you to use your heels exclusively. Moving through the corners are the cruxes, but there are pretty big jugs to help out with that. Start on the south side, and traverse around, and then top out when the boulder starts to run out near the exact opposite of where you started.

The Warmup

Only Dihedrals Rule

High Horse

Way Back West

Jugs on a Slab!?

This line is fairly hard all the way up. Start with a sloper left hand around the left side of the arete, and your right on a crimper on the right side. Slap your left hand up, do some fancy heel hooks if needed, and then work the right hand up crimps to a jug. From there continue slapping the left side up, and then throw to the top and top out.

Also don't have a picture of this one yet, but I'll get one soon. Starts just to the left of Nothing Like a Mono. Sloped crimp and sidepull start, then up to a match on a good sloper, then move up the line on slopers until you can reach into a diagonal crack and pull yourself onto the slab finish. walk off right or left.

If you start standing with your hand on the left pocket and right edge, its about a V3. Sit start is hard, starts with a crimp down low on the left, and a bad sloper sidepull on the right. Probably V7/8.

This line looks amazing, and is a fun route consisting of slopers and crimpers, and traverses from the bottom of the large boulder on its side, up to a sloped point, where it then tops out. Crux is the last move, throwing from a very small crimp to a  not so awesome sloper point. From there, get your feet up, and mantel out. Be very careful to get a good spot. It is deceptive about where you will land if you fall going for the point. If you miss the point, or come off it, your momentum will actually carry you back towards the start (due to the steepness of the boulder, so position your pads further behind you than you think you should.

There are multiple other lines on this boulder as well. A sit start project to the travese is currently in the works, under the overhang at the left start of the boulder (V8/9?).

At a little flared corner near the left side of the boulder, there is a two hand crimp. Start there, and move left to the corner, and then work your way to the top out at the small corner. (V0) (FA Micah Klesick)

In the middle of the boulder is a undercling rail near the ground. Sit start there, throw to a small side pull crimp on the left, and then right hand to a tiny crimp on the right above the rail. From there, crank up to a small, but fairly decent crimp, and then crank to the top, and top out. (V7) (FA Rob Holzman)

There is a project in the works on the far right side of the boulder, traversing up impossibly small crimp on the overhung face, finishing on the point. (V9/10?) (Open Project)

Check out the beta photo for an idea of the lines.

This nice, fun little warmup is located almost directly behind the sit start project for Death by Slopers. It is an obvious crack that goes straight up the rock. Starts with a sit from a jug, and then commences into side pulls to the top.

I don't have a picture for this one yet, I'll get it up soon. Its the first route on the right side of the massive boulder near the top of the trail up. Starts back in a corner with a nice undercling sit, to a big jug on the right. From there, the trick is making your feet stick while you try to statically stick your finger into a mono sloper pocket. That move is about V6 in itself. Finishing out on some sloped crimps is no walk in the park either. project as of now.

Easy. Start at an obvious hueco on the first boulder you get to. Pull jugs to the top! walk off left.

Starts on the left side of the small dihedral, and then progresses up crimps to the top out. There is a bit of lichen on the top holds, as they are hard to clean from top or bottom.

Starts at a two hand crimp above the middle of the roof, and a high foot on the left side of the roof. Crank up to another crimp, and then throw to a jug. Finish on V-easy moves to top out. Walk off left.

This is an eliminate on this boulder that uses only thin crimps after the shelf.  Start way back to the right and traverse a slope-rail left to the rounded corner.   Cross the corner and continue left into thin crimpy terrain then diagonal up to topout.

No Crux. Starts with hands on a big jug, and feet on the boulder below. Easy moves, big holds to the top. Walk off to the left. Several variations are possible.
