An eliminate. Climbs up thin crimps on the face of Biscuit. Avoid the good holds on biscuit (the rail on the quartz feature and the jug next to it) and avoid the right arete. Most of the crimps are quartz half pad crimps.  

  Pretty fun for an eliminate.

A classic problem with great movement. Sit start with your left hand with an incut sidepull at the base of the cool crystal streak and your right with a good edge. Stand up to a good flake further up on the face before matching. Get high feet and reach for a jug up and right. Top out on huge jugs. The best of it's grade in smuggs (assuming the fin is a 1).

I think this is supposed to start to the right of the flake that the other 2 climbs on this boulder start on. I usually just use the same start as for Local Hero but I traverse right straight to the arete, then climb up. 

  Once you get the arete climb carefully using small holds and the arete. Watch out for lichen up top, but there is still good holds.

This is to the best of my knowledge the longest boulder problem in the notch at 30 moves in total.  

  Walk uphill from the Biscuit Boulder to the obvious wall above. This wall has problems like The Turning Worm, Who Gets the Chicken, as well as newer problems like Set the Controls and Preacher.   

  When you see the wall walk along the base around the corner to an obvious undercling that makes the first (sit start) move. From there traverse right to left around the corner using a series of undercling and edge holds until you can gain the obvious large off width crack that forms the top out exit.  

  This may have been first done by Jon Tome (Tome's Roof) but I think this is the first send from the far right. Named in part after my youngest daughter who despite being only a few miles away is a long way from home.

This is the roof to the right of Long Way Home. It has 3 blade-like rails on the roof. 

  Start with a slopey left hand and a right hand on a sharp crimp and figure out how to climb the blades out to the slab and top out on the highball.

Sit start, move straight up to L-shaped feature.

To the left of long way home is a sit down start lay back left off a right facing corner. Ascend the edge until you can gain a tenuous finger lock and ascend up to a dead birch. You will be brushing against a large secondary boulder leaning up against the main rock face.

The big scary overhang to the right of Biscuit. Start low in the middle on some edges and climb right and up on underclings and try to gain the big shelf that makes the stand start. Needs some cleaning to top out safely. 

  Has a V4 stand start.

I know this isn't called Gravy, but I am unsure of the name.  

  Same start as for Local Hero, but climb right into the flake in the middle of the boulder. Get feet and stand up tall to a jug on the lip and top out.

Sit start with your left had on an undercling/pistol grip and right hand on a side pull in the crack featured used at the base of biscuit.

 Pull on and make a big move to a good edge and crimp. Find a way to work you feet to where your hands are and work your way through smalls crimps to a good top out.

 Feels harder than Biscuit,Brewski arete, Patton arete, but easier than primate so I guess V3-? We’ll see where consensus ends up.

These are two vertical 15-20' boulders that form a little alcove sitting side-by-side a few feet above the parking lot.  Biscuit is the one facing the road, and is identified by a large vertical quartz vein at its base. Gravy faces left(south) and can be identified by a large triangular flake at its base.
