On the face that faces the trail. There are two cracks that run parallel to each other use these crack and climb the very short problem anyway you would like, the sit start makes it harder. This face that this route is on is not a vertical face it is less than vertical but ultra fun. This is a great route for beginners or to play around on with friends making eliminate routes.

Climb the pickle on the that shoots out from the top out the Short Trail Boulder, the route is on the right arete of the giant pickle, I have not gotten on this problem but it looks tough comprised of crimps and some slopey features. 

  Sketchy landing so be careful.

Sit start on the arete and make powerful moves to the top. Crux is the first move, moving your left hand into the good slot. Although the rest of the moves are no gimme either.

This is a fairly tall route that  has an weird boulder behind it that you do not want to fall onto. This route climbs the face up through the curl at the top without using the arete, the crux come half way up when you need to get really wide feet but once you have the wide feet it is a breeze 

  There are plenty of other cool variations on this face that can make it harder or easier.

This route traverses the back side of the boulder, starting on good underclings, and traversing right on a sloping ledge that gets better as you go when you get to the end of the ledge move up on good holds and top out. The crux is dependent on your climbing style. For me at 6 feet the crux is when going from the sloping rail to the jugs that lead to the top out. The feet are weird and the sloping rail is made tougher because it slopes slightly down hill.

Sit start with a hand and a foot on either side of the sharp arete(the feet on the left side of the arete are really small)  pull up and establish yourself on the good shelf from here use the arete and face holds to move up and right topping out on a huge jug above a very dirty crack. You can get off the boulder on the backside of the boulder.

This boulder is a small boulder on the right of the trail that is easy to pick out because of the pickle like feature that juts from the top, and the boulder below it has a series of small cracks in it.
