Death by Crow is a nice warm-up for the fingers and the mind.

Start sitting in the cave on a sharp right hand undercling/sidepull, and a left hand edge 2’ to the left. Work up through jugs and edges to a long move out left; grabbing a flat square edge and holding a swing out over the abyss. Finish in the corner as for

Eyewitness to Power is a classic arete climb with some unique movement and just enough height to keep you focused. It has really beautiful rock and interesting holds.

This problem is on one of the best boulders I have ever climbed. It is scary but can be safe with clever pad placement. Start on the lowest good holds you can grab on the left side of the face, then climb to the arete, and blast straight up the improbable line.

Death by Lion is another fun moderate.

Start squatting on with a left hand, slopey hold around the arete and a right hand, bad, 3 finger crimp. Make a few powerful and fun slaps to jugs halfway up the arete. Turn the corner, and follow the dihedral (take care here) to the top.

Try Your Luck is another phenomenal line that proves CCC is far from climbed out.

Start squatting on the far left arete or the Eyewitness Boulder (left hand jug horn and right hand jug in the crack 2’ off the ground). Move up and right over a built landing through perfect edges and good feet which lead to a poor and sharp right pinch and a super small, left, razor blade. Find some finicky feet to make a giant toss to a right hand jug (terrifying and hard), then top out as for

Try Your Luck breaks down into a V7/8 to the jump, then a 1 move V7/8 to the jug, the jump being potentially disastrous in the event of a bad fall. From the jug, the climbing is V3 and super exposed, and falling would be catastrophic, as the hillside is quite steep and exposed.

This is a jug haul on the main face of the boulder. Head up the obvious jugs, and mantel the scary lip. It is classic... if you like highballs with sketchy landings.
