Start your hands at the bottom of the slanted crack and work your way up the crack to top out. The crux is the very first move because your foot placement is not great.

Out of Doors is a pure traverse that climbs bullet rock and ends with an exciting finish.

Sit start from the glassy arete, pull up to a good left hand crimp, and traverse right through a sidepull and gaston on the slightly overhung and solid face.  From there, work two small crimps to your liking, and make an awkward dyno out right to a great jug.  The remaining topout is straightforward.

Sit start with a deeply incut left hand sidepull and a right hand edge. From there, climb through edges to the jug, and mantel atop the boulder.

The start was chalked up before we attempted it, but none of the other holds had chalk on them, so someone else may have gotten the first ascent.

Start with your hands matched on the lower flake/crimp in the middle of the west-facing side of the Western Rust Boulder. Make a couple big moves to the ledges going straight up and then top out. Watch your feet, they start right next to the ground.

Sit start at the glassy arete. From there, follow the arete to the jug, then use the edges to reach an easy finish.

Sit start matched down low on the sidepull feature. From there, gain the lip, traverse right to the jug, gain the edge, and finish up the easy remainder.

Sit start with a left hand edge and a right hand on the arete. From there, figure out the awkward footing to establish the arete, then cruise the remainder for an easy finish.

The opening feet give the problem its difficulty.
