Shark Week is a fun sit start on the protruding arete of the boulder. The route gets its name from the shark-looking feature of this boulder.

Start sitting with your hands matched on crimpers at 3' height in the middle of the face. Climb straight up, and end with a deadpoint to the lip.

Start sitting on ground with your left hand on a small crimp and your right hand on a better crimp. Continue up and over the lip.

Start on the left side of Ghost Face wall, and climb left around the arete. Use the undercling flake until you get into Lichenback. Keep going left until you go around the arete to the slab, then top out.

 Sorry for the name, it's awful.

Sit start with your hands matched on a sidepull jug, stand up, and move your right hand to a good pinch in the horizontal crack. Getting your left hand on a sidepull and your right hand in a undercling will allow you to get your feet up, and move up to some crimps on the slab before topping out. All aspects of the vertical crack are off route.

Start sitting on the ground with your left hand on a low, crimpy pinch and your right hand in small but positive slot. Check the seam for glass before pulling on! Pull off the ground, move your left hand to a sidepull, and continue straight up to the lip.

Start matched on an undercling, get your feet established, and move your right hand to a high crimp. Avoiding all aspects of the vertical crack as well as the left arete, climb the slab to a good, horizontal lip, and top out.

Do the same start as Blunt Arete, but traverse right following a crack, meet up, and top out Shark Week.

This problem traverses the whole boulder without topping out or using holds at the top. Pick a hold to start, and end at the same hold. The traverse has some thought provoking sequences at the aretes, and the face that features an undercling flake with sloped feet (the part I’m Lichen This Traverse climbs). This problem also has several amazing no-hands rests. Depending on which direction you take and which starting holds you use, the grade might be different. Pull on, and get pumped!

This is a hands free (AKA) feet only problem. Start on a good, knee high ledge in the center of the wall. Step up on okay foot holds until you reach a good ledge. Follow ledge up to the left until you reach the top. Remember, no hands!

Start sitting on ground with your left hand on a low crimp and your right hand on a crimp under the spray painted letter "R". Pull off the ground, and work your way up and over a bulge.

Squat start at the bottom of the crack, and work your way up to the topout.

Sit start under mini-roof, and make your way up the arete to a topout slightly left of the arete.

Climb the crimp line (4-5 feet above the ground) starting to the right of Prepare following it until you hit Shark Week.

Squat start with your left hand in a crack and your right hand wherever it feels good. Stand up, and climb to top out.

Start sitting on the ground with your left hand pinching a shelf and your right hand pinching a thin plate. Getting off the ground is the crux. Climb up to the lip avoiding arete.

Climb the left side of the slab, avoid using the arete for full value. This is also the downclimb for this boulder.

Start with your left hand on the sidepull and your right hand on the slopey edge. Go up left and to the horizontal crack, then top out.

Start sitting on the ground with your hands on a lower flake. Pull off the ground, and work your way up while avoiding the low, horizontal crack. Top out directly above the starting holds.
