On the Hive Boulder:  

  Walk around to the huge separation in the boulder which could be spanned up. to the right side of that seperation there are several cracks/fractures and it makes a sort of fractured pillar.    The problem sit-starts at the base of this fractured pillar and climbs the prominent crack and jug face holds to the top out. you can use a killer knee-bar in the middle of the climb which is always cool. use knobs on top to top out.

The Hive

This long overlooked line runs to the right of "The Hive" and "Royal Jelly" and left of "Honeycomb". This one climbs between the two sections of the Hive Boulder deep in the chimney like crack. Stand start in the gap and work into the crack. Use the two boulders to chimney up to the jugs up high for an easy top out.

The Hive Boulder:  

  This Line climbs the right arete on the main boulder face (the portion of the boulder that rests on top of the "pedestal"). Low start on with hands matched on the pedestal and make moves into a right hand slot and to crimps above. stay true to the arete and gain the top out through more crimps and rails.  

Somewhat of an eliminate but a straight forward and fun challange. Worth the effort! 

  Start as per "The Hive" matched on the flat pedistal.  

  Dyno up and out the slight overhang to the flat, bulbous jug mid-face and finish the rest as per "The Hive"

Hive:  

  Stand start up on the slab block at the boulders base. use the large flake rails to climb up to the top. when at the top, past the fish look-alike dropstone and you run out of "good" hand holds and have to rely on little knobs, jibs, and dimples to reach the quality mantle holds. (crux it getting to where the top out is). 

The Hive Boulder: 

  Walk down the trail passing the Room and the next boulder is the Hive Boulder. this problem starts at the furthest climbable point to the left of the boulder. 

   to find the start, sit start on edges below the "undercling" feature to the far left of the boulder. Climb the left facing flake, then trend right to traverse the higher rail to top out as per "Colony"(V2) and "Jaws"(V1).

Hive:  

  Start on a low detached block, reach up onto the face using some small gastons and crimps. Work your feet up on top of the starting block to a slimper on the 'eye of the narwhal'. Finish up on a slopey but consistent topout. 

To the right of "Drone" and left of "Jaws" on the left-most face of the Hive Boulder. 

  Find the main, large crack system that trends disgonal, up and right. Sit start low under the crack, and follow the crack up to the broken rail system. Continue across the rail system until it ends, and top out as per "Jaws" (V1).

Hive Boulder:  

  Walk around the Hive Boulder to the right (down the trail) and you will pass the section of the boulder where it cuts in on itself. pass the highball portion after the in-cut (where the problem "Honeycomb" climbs up through) and look for the low fin extruding from its base. this is the sitstart to "Bumble Bee" (and also the sit to "Honeycomb")... sit start here and climb up and just slightly right to the nice top out. this problem works through good, but little hands. from the start, use a hand on the seperation/crack to enable yourself to stand up on the protruding fin you start on. this good footing allows the small hands to feel like jugs. the top out is slightly to the right from the sit-start... 

On the Hive Boulder:  

  Reach the hive boulder by walking down the trail, passing the "Room" with Nexus, Beastmaster, Tigerside, and more in it... the next boulder just 50 feet down the trail is The Hive Boulder. walk around the boulder, passing a dihedral with a fractured highball right side. go past the fractured portion to the end of the face where the tree marks the end of the climbable portion of the boulder. to the left of the end tree is the "Benadryl" problem. search for the out-of-place, coral looking stone in the middle of the face, and this is the middle of the line.  

  Stand start on a matched rail and work up to the coral stone. finish through crimps to the good top-out. 

Hive Boulder:  

  Sit-start at the base of the boulder on the slab block under the boulder itself. hands on top, and feet on smallish edges, or smeared. lever up and nab any good ripple or edge above the slab on the big main boulder, and bring feet up onto the top of the slab block.    from here, follow the line up the boulder as a sort of wide arete, using edge holds, smooth knobs, or shallow pockets to the top out. feet follows most of the way.    the top out is straight forward.

Easily one of the most popular, most photographed, most visited boulders on the LRT. This boulder has a host of V0-V4 boulder problems with perfect landings and fun, medium to tall top-outs. The boulder is full of crimps and jugs with a few slimpers (narwhal) and smooth drop stones thrown in the mix... Don't miss "Honeycomb", "The Hive", and "Royal Jelly"!
