Adjacent to the Scissor Roof, look for the sharply undercut roof below the arete. Larger sit starts under the roof in front of the close, small slabbed block.  

  Find the lower, closer, thin undercling rail for your left hand, and the nice, comfortable pinch on the steep face for your right. 

  Negotiate the good feet and pull on. Dyon out of the roof off the start to the nice, rounded jug overhead.  

  Avoid the arete and face climb up to the top to top out as per "Troll Toll"

Across from the Scissors Roof find the sharply undercut roof with the arete above. 

  Sit start in the large flat undercling shelf under the roof (directly beside the start to Larger Than Life). Climb straight up the arete and face holds to the lip. Top out carefully and drop off the other side onto Rapid Boulder (take it to the cleaned top of the boulder to be safe!).

Step up onto the small boulder at the base of climb, near the middle of the face.  Stand start with a  left hand sidepull crimp and right hand on a small knob for balance with a large pedestal for feet.  Pull on and stab a crimp with left hand.  Gain high feet and grab a two finger pocket to the right.  Make your way up the slab via good crimps and pebble features.  Trend slightly left and top out at center of the boulder.  Pads and spotters.

A tall GRG classic. A must do! To the left of the large tree growing on the boulder, locate the lower, long horizontal. Stand start matched there and work up direct past thin crimps to blocky features up high.  

  Make a committing move up top to the easy top. 

  Traverse the lip to the right and slab down to jump off to the adjacent Rapid Boulder.  

  The exit off of this block can be tricky so please plan accordingly. Adding a small pad to jump off onto is smart.

Start low on the obvious jug and move your left hand up to a crimp and right to a higher pinch. Get a heel hook on the far ledge out left and make a big move to the lip of the boulder. Climb up the lip a few more feet then mantle to stand on the slab section of the boulder. Hop down or climb a few feet higher and use the small detached boulder and small tree to get down.

This is a big, proud boulder touching the Rapid Boulder.
