Sloping and flat holds lead up the slightly overhanging arete to provide a nice warm up. The start is high so if you are short you may need a boost or stacked pads. From the double handed hold work up some more shelves. You can go stright up or slightly right but basically still on the arete.

Thin, technical and devious. 

  Climb the thin face to a rounded topout. Frustrating, harder than it seems like it should be or maybe it is that hard.

This was definitely already established when we stumbled upon it but it has 3 lines for sure. Please add any info if you know it.

Looks like a choss pile but there is a clean line up it :) the top out is a little full of nature but worth being on the solo circuit

Some interesting movement on this one and a harder topout than what you usually get at Ponderosa. 

  From the high starting hold on the arete make a wierd cross with your left hand to a two finger pocket gaston. Set your feet and reach up to an edge just below the lip. Reach up to small holds on the slab and topout.

Sit start on left side of boulder. Sharp small holds, good for the skin. The line to the right is a nice warm up.

Sheltered boulders along the bottom of the Valley starting from the parking area and moving up valley towards the hairpin in the main road. 

  Landings are typically flat and problems are for the most part moderate with a few exceptions. Boulders are in the midrange in height 12-15 feet. 

  The first boulder, Parking Boulder is right by the car has a slab that faces the valley and a steeper face that faces up valley. There is a very difficult SDS on the steep arete. 

  The next boulders are side by side on the left of the valley. The first one (on the right) is huge and as of yet does not have anything on it. The second one which sits below and to the right has some thin technical face problems. 

  The next boulder that you come to has a long, low angle face that you will see and wraps around the right arete to another shorter face. Moderate warm-ups and variations abound. 

  There are most likely more boulders as one continues up the valley floor. This should get you started though.
