Good holds on bullet granite go right up the center this beautiful Boulder. There is a small shelf of rock at the base making it so you’re never really over your pads. A fall off this thing will be memorable.

Start on the big jug in the middle of the wall, half dyno move to a diagonal/sideways hold up a few feet and to the right a little. then a move or two and top out

sit start to moonboard. adds a few more moves on bad, sloping, polished crimps

start on a slopey, blocky undercling. pulling off the ground takes some muscle. throw a HUGE move to a good hold, toe hook next to your left hand on the starting undercling, fire to a left hand side-pull, and figure out the rest.  

  a stout project. although it goes with out saying, the name is tentative and in place for practical reference.

Start left hand on a 2 pad flat jug,  right hamd on a crimp. Find a good toe, rock up and right to a small sidepull, then balance up and left to another sidepull. Move up to a good hold, then an easy topout.

Start sitting on crimp jugs and a good little foot edge. slap with your left hand up two alright slopers then fire a long move out left to a sharp crimp then top out.

Same Start as Merlins Merlot but as you move up it heads right up the more juggy middle of the boulder

Start matched on the low jug and go up the hanging dihedral.

Start matched on a good incut on the overhang, and climb an overhanging arete to a difficult finish over a bad landing (make sure to place pads well). on the left as you head down the canyon. in the same area as hammer of hate. Original method eliminated the supporting boulder for feet. Do what makes you happy!

good variety of movement. SDS. technical moves + power. start left hand on a jug sidepull and a bad right hand slopey crimp and make two powerful beginning moves into easier ones before a hard and technical top out.

Start sitting on boulder, hands on big sloping rails. Move up to good sidepull, then gun for the top. To avoid a funky tiered landing, just move a little left to topout on Action Arete.

Start sitting with a left crimping on the arete, right on the face. Make a big move to jugs up high, topout.

Start on two sloping ledges, contort your feet under somewhere (maybe not as hard if you aren't 6+ feet), then move up to good holds, then topout. Lowball but fun. 

  You can start a little lower with your left hand on the arete and right hand in a sharp crimp. A little harder, but not as good.

Start sitting with a sloping leftward facing rail and a right hand crimp. Put your toe high up and pull off the ground. A single hard move to a jug puts you at the beginning of the stand.

Starts on the same jug as the imp, goes up and left using small flat ledges

Start in a flare in a seam, with a left hand finger lock, right hand gaston. Paste your feet on, make a long move to the slopey ledge. Match, move up to good crimp, then up to easy but dirty topout. Look out for a small cactus growing on one of the topout ledges.

Mantle the first small boulder, undercling on the roof, then use sidepulls, laybacks, and gastons to move up and right. No matter how you do it you have to trust a sloping left foot. Scary.

Sit start from block...moving a little right, then pulling up into the face. Climb fractured cracks to easy topout.

Climb up to the obvious and suspect flake (don't pull too hard), continue strait up. Topout as far to the right as you can, it's much safer that way. 

  TREAD LIGHTLY!

SDS. climb easier moves to a crimpy and intense overhanging arete/roof. good body positioning makes some of the harder moves easier. there is a hard crux at the end on bad slopes with technical heel hooks that can demolish any good effort if not done correctly. long. 

Fun overhanging arete. A low and powerful start helps you gain a cool jugs to an easy topout. Look out for bees!

Start on lower left side of boulder on low ledge. Move up and right to rounded holds, then up and right to lip.  

  Font Variation - from starting holds, move straight up to rounded bulge, topout. v0+

Start on sloping edges, climb slippery crimps to easy topout. Depending on the season and rainfall, the landing of this climb is occasionally a stagnant pool. Avoid splashing down into the pools, and rumors of dog eating swamp monsters should not be ignored.

Climb the black water streak on the obvious tall face in the hammer of hate area. there is a lower start beginning on two horrendously polished crimps and a bad foot that is much harder.  

  a fall from the top of this would result in certain injury. the crux is at the top, and involved a right hand lock off of a small, incut pinch off of a high left toe. committing, but extremely fun! the boulder that it is on is beautiful!

begin on sloping edges, and lunge for the triangle shaped crimp.   a sit start adds a few hard moves and feels to be in the v7-9 range

The route is in between two rocks, start further in on the left sitting on crimps and the route moves upwards and right

Sit start with a right hand crimp and left on a jug.  Crimps and slopers out right and left hand stays on the slopey far side of the boulder to top-out.  Dont go to the right of the seam or its a different problem and much easier

Start standing on sloping ledges. Climb up through more slopey ledges to a slightly tricky topout.

start on two ball like slopers that are polished like marble and climb the obvious face

Clean, fun line left of The Imp. Start low on a left hand undercling and sweet right hand pinch just below the jug for The Imp. Situate your feet on the seem that runs across the kicker (obviously the random rocks at the bottom are off), make a good move out left to a good hold, then bump the right hand onto a sweet side pull with a thumb catch. From here bring the right foot up and fire left hand to a long powerful throw to a nice lip. Squeeze and pray the right foot sticks. Control the barn door, then top out to sweet sweet jugs. 

Sit start on the right of the vineyard boulder and climb up the jugs

Start on low ledge, move up to an incut flake, then right to a sidepull between the boulders, then up to a couple good holds, then the lip. Topout is a little tricky trying not to dab on the boulder behind you.

This is a nice low elevation bouldering area in a beautiful little canyon. There are a handful of really nice boulders to be climbed on, with some great moderate problems and some really good harder ones. The rock is a bit water polished, but has really nice features and is mostly super solid. The landings of some of the climbs are occasionally under standing water.
