Triangle Slab is a much overlooked but fun moderate. Climb straight up the center of the triangle-shaped boulder. Use just holds on the face for a little more fun or the outer edges of boulder to make it a little easier. Hell, do it both ways.... Slab climbing is fun!

This problem ascends the left boulder of the

Squirming Coil Area

. Start matched on a right-leaning sidepull and with feet on the low angle slab to the left. Move to the diagonal crack, and traverse right along the crack until you can top out. The topout is the same as for

The Bearded Lady aka Hand Crack, V1

.

This is the same as

Contrivance, V4

, but everything is on and usable. This has been added so that this version of the climb can be ticked, and enjoyed in its own right.

This is a fun, little warm-up. From a sit start, traverse right get a nice high foot, use your right hand to a bomber sloper, and top out

or

From a sit start, match hands, get your feet set and dyno/swing right and stick the sloper and top out from there.

Any info on FA or name would be much appreciated.

Start with a bomber hand jam and then use the rail inside the crack on the right side and then the horizontal crack on the left boulder to get through the middle wider section.  If you jam your feet right, you should be able to access bomber hand jams again up high before exiting up on the left boulder.

Start just to the right of '

Squirming Coil

' on a low, left sidepull and a sloping, right hold on the arete.  Moves left up to a crimpy sidepull, then a LONG reach slaps up right to a sloper.  Struggle with the bad feet and throw for the nose at the lip and mantle up.

This has fun moves at the beginning. Sit start with a left hand jug and a right hand crimp. Find some little feet beneath you, and throw up the left to a high pinch/crimp. Next bump up to a good slot to match in. The big ledge to the right of the starting holds is off for feet. Move out right on some dirtier terrain to top out at the top of the boulder. It is a little dirty at the top but isn't an issue. This will clean up with more climbs.

Start with your left hand on a big, undercling jug and your right hand on a low, slopey sidepull. Squeeze up a few crimps, and do a big move to a slanted, jug rail. Traverse right into

Squirming Coil

, and finish on

Start out matched on the low sloping rail. Figure out how to get your ass off the ground, and climb up the arete and out the roof

This ascends the super slabby, middle cracks on the north (east?) facing side of the '

Double Arete

' boulder. Start on the tremendous ledge about head height and use the middle cracks to reach a decent, right-facing flake up high. If you decide not to top out because your pants have become heavy from pooping, just say "slide".

Visually similar to

Dasani

(hence the name), this is another overhanging triangle. Start on right-facing holds, move into jugs, then make a large toss to a crimp well over the lip. Traverse the lip left to the apex and then up. The topout is covered in lichen.

I'll claim the first ascent, but there's a very good chance it was first done years ago and lost to the ages. I also want to hear people's opinion about the grade.

There's a possible easy problem going right from the start holds, but I didn't want to scrub that much in one day.

Beginning on the jug and dynoing straight up to the sloper at the lip is an awesome V3(?). It is a very cool move.

If you go to the hold on the rightmost part of the wall, it would be a V0-V1.  Still it is quite satisfying.

There's two ways to do this problem; using the small boulder on the left for feet, or not. If you don't, it's probably V4+ or V5, if you do use it it's probably V2/V3ish. Start on the left side of the boulder, on the sloping rail and the pocket/hand jam/undercling feature, however you wish to use it. Tricky to keep the feet off the left side of the deihidral, but makes it much more interesting. Figure out a sequence to move along the rail to the right. Once you get to the middle/right side of the boulder, go straight up, don't finish the rail to the inside corner.

The hardest part of the climb is resisting the temptation to use the feet on the left, and figuring out how to climb around all the features that are 'off' around you. Obviously you can choose to climb it however you wish, but deciding to mark those features off made it much more difficult, and was fun to figure out how to make the moves.

This problem ascends the left boulder of the

Squirming Coil Area

. Do a low start matched on a right-leaning sidepull and with your feet on the low angle slab to the left. Move to the diagonal crack, and continue straight up the chalked arete until you can top out.

This problem is listed in

Colorado Bouldering Front Range

by Phillip Benningfield and Matt Samet as a V2 for not using the low grey slab on the left. In this case, I choose for the left block to be usable and is being added so it can be enjoyed in its own right.

This is the direct route just right of

Squirming Coil

that starts on the same hold. With your left hand on

Squirming Coil's

start and your right in an odd pocket, move straight up to an awesome incut edge and then the lip using some fun footwork. The topout is easy.

Start out low on the right side of the arete, find the sweet spots, paste the feet and begin. Strenuous moves the whole way, continually just squeezing everything together. Eases up slightly toward the top, with a mild topout.
