Slopey holds to the right of the crack. Snagging the arete near the top can definitely help. Can be balancy, but well worth it.

Downclimb

The boulders namesake crack. This is a stellar crack climb that is perfect for beginners, boulderers that want to give that crazy crack climbing a try, and crusty old guys alike. Tons of fun, you can run laps on this all day and not get bored. Has good feet options for the first half, if you don't feel like jamming your feet in the crack as well.

The hardest part is definitely at the top. It's fairly tall, so bring a pad and possibly a spotter.

Fun climbing on the northeast arete. Makes a quality shot with good lighting. Some sloping holds and balance required.

On the face in between the downclimb and the crack, there is an obvious sloping rail. Climb onto the rail, and then pull the exciting mantle on slopey holds over the lip. Quality fun.

Smooth pockets on the north face of the boulder, on the left side (as you're facing south).

Climb onto a ledge on the west face of the boulder, on the south side. Then make a move to the lip, and pull over!

Watch out, there's potential for falling in the bush next to this problem if you're not careful. This can also be used as a downclimb.

Pockets and slimpers about. Balancy problem on the north face, near the center. Very fun problem, holds keep getting worse as you keep moving up, but they're all there.

Start with an undercling then move up and right to mantle on a nice ledge. Using a small right hand pocket, move your left foot out to a decent foot hold, and get your left hand in a good two finger pocket. Bump your right hand up to a heinous pinch, pull up and cross your right hand over to a sloper. Move your feet up and top out.

The other end of the crack, this end is much harder. Climb up the crack either laying it back, or just straight up jam it. Fun crack climbing up to a HUGE jug near the lip. Stellar problem.

There is also a sit down start underneath the roof that makes the problem about a grade harder. Getting around the lip is the crux of that variation.

Used to be VERY scary, as there is a pointy stump at the bottom. However, the landing was filled in with rocks to make it very easy to protect.

Still a bit tall, and some potential for.... strange falls, especially if you're laying it back.

This is the downclimb. It's on the southeast corner of the boulder. A little tricky to get down from here, and you definitely want a small pad underneath you to jump off on to.
