The Darkside

Start on two decent sidepulls at head height, move up to slopers, and traverse left to more slopers. Make a big move down and left into the crack in the face. Keep traversing left into return of the

Jedi

, and finish by following the rest of the problem.

While this boulder doesn't look like much, the starting moves are pretty fun and powerful. SDS with a left hand undercling and a right hand jug. Start with a powerful move to move your right hand up into some angled crimps and slopers. Work up and slightly left to get established onto the low angle face. From here, continue up on easier ground bailing slightly right at the top.

Start same as the

Minturn Mile

, but when you get the rail with you left hand, traverse left. Make powerful moves out left where your ability to heel hook will be tested. You might want to stretch out the hamstrings before hopping on this one.

Sit start, left hand flake, right hand pinch. Climb out the middle of the face. Everything is on but the crux is at the lip. It's a long reach up to a crack on the slab top out.

This is V5 from the flake and V8 from the sit.  This problem starts just left of the start to

Return of the Jedi

/

The Minturn Mile

.  The start hold broke about a year ago but is still okay. From the sit, bust up to the flake, match slopers, and punch it over the lip.

Climb

Darkside

into

Return of the Jedi

. It climbs all the hard moves on

Darkside

and then links into the crux moves of

Jedi Master

. You need strong fingers and power endurance for this thing.

I don’t know if it’s been done before. I just wanted to add info for this variation. Climb

Extension

to an incut flake match, then traverse left into rail, and finish as for

Return of the Jedi

. This is solidly 9 if not harder, but others can give opinion.

This boulder problem starts just to the right of the

Extension

problem. Sit-start on two small crimps, and do powerful moves to gain the higher sidepulls. Finish by mantling the slopey lip. It is short and burly.
