Start low on the overhung corner arete matched on one of the most wonderful "Drop-stone" jugs in the park. Make a big move left to an in-cut jug, and another up and right to get into the juge jug horizontal slot. Work up and right to join into the top-out crack at the lip of the boulder as per "badger milk".

Find the diagonal crack running up the vertical face of the Badger Boulder. Stand start with a left hand in the crack and a right on any good hold. Follow the crack line using any good holds available along the way. Top out with the crack.

This is the sit start to Badger or Badger Arete.Deep and low under the smooth drop-stone jug stand start, look for the flat undercling for a right hand and tree feet left look for a similar opposing flat left hand compression. From there, blast far and high to the start feature. Hang on and continue from there to either of those lines to finish. 

Whil;e there is 20ft of climbing here, the height of the steepness before it turns into a fun and easy slab-fest is only about 9ft max. 

  On the downhill side of the boulder, to the right of the massive crooked tree, fund the low undercling flake. 

  Match-start the flake undercling and fire up and far to the left crimp. Avoid the massive flake out left (which would lead you away from the direct top out) and work past two more crimps to the fun top out. Slab your way top the top!

On the left, taller, more vertical face stand start to the left of the crack. Climb directly up to the blocky feature and when at the top of the feature reach out right to a far crimp sidepull. Move to the top and mantle.

Badger Arete sit starts as per "Badger" but follows the arete up and right over the tree to top out over the tree.

Ridiculous and fun. This is a -feet first- version of "Squeeze The Badger" that is well worth a light hearted try, or an hour's worth of effort.The starting hands are the same as "Squeeze The Badger" but begin upside-down on the stand-start holds (toe hooking the huge pink dropstone and edge). Figure out how to spin around and continue as per to finish.

This boulder is very aesthetic and gives clean lines and fun top outs. Behind the boulder is a large crooked tree that makes the arete line pretty scary, but thank goodness for those jugs! Several lines on this boulder make it a worthwhile stop.
