Start on obvious jug (with potential rat nest inside). Move up on good crimps to slopes and the top.

I really like the movement on this one. Powerful lower moves to good balancy moves on slopers and a glory jug topout (don't get that too often 'round here!). One of my favorites at the Yard.

Takes a strenuous and rather thrilling line out the roof of the "cave" on the Rat Boulder. Start on arete at far left of cave (but still about five feet right of Unnamed V4), move up and right via long moves, poor feet, and an absolutely awesome slab crux when your feet are 10' off the deck. It's not over till you grab the top of the boulder!

Start on the obvious hole and crimp, and make your way passed some awkward features to gain the top. A little sandy, but should clean up nice with traffic.

Start on the flake and traverse to the right. Then climb up slightly to the left following a line of 3 jugs. Lots of secure feet and good intermediate crimps. Great for a warmup!

Start on the obvious rats nest jug, and move right following a series of great overhanging jugs. Pull into the scoop prow on the right, and either top out back left through the sloping channel (recommended) or go straight over the bulge (awkward, slightly harder to protect).

Either way it's good fun, and one of the best moderate overhanging routes around. Great for laps.

Description in O11 is kind of vague (I don't get it?) so if this is wrong let me know.
