Sit start with left foot flagged and right foot on the arete.  Reach up left to the slopey dish and then follow the obvious arete and crack up direct.  Excellent knee jam halfway through so you can rest your arms.

Sit start with a right hand gaston in the corner. Layback traverse across ledge. Top out.

Sit Start:  At down climb ramp.  Left hand on round pocket, right on large jug.  Then left hand to side-pull crimp/flake. Work your way left to pockets and move up, traversing lip of overhang.  Crux comes with left hand on shallow 3 finger pocket, right hand pinch, dropping down to a 2 finger left hand pocket.  Then stay low working your way around to the north side of the boulder, to a no hands rest.  Stay low and one last moderate move around the plaque to finish where you started.  The climb stays off the upper lip completely.

Slab with deep finger pockets.  Don't use the arete that goes up the right side staircase.  Sit start on the right with finger pockets.

Nice problem with big moves.  Sit start with right hand on the jug around the corner and left hand on the obvious sloper.  Top out in the dish on top.

Short fun move. It may be more difficult because I have "reach" issues. 

  Start in corner, hugging arete, deadpoint to sloper at top of bolder. Match hands, raise feet, mantle.

Sit start on the lower X marked crimp and X marked pinch. Follow X's to the top lip. All feet that are between the two black lines are on.

Climbs the arete feature on the plaque side of boulder.I am not ultra familiar with boudlering grades but i think v2 is some what accurate. This problem could probably be done easier or harder, but i feel this way is one of the funnest. (Sit start to right hand undercling, match on sloper just above, bump right hand to good edge then bump again to slopy hold near top)

Start this gem with two hands on the flake and left toe in pocket. Work left to a tasty finger pocket and juicy under cling pinch to another hairy pinch up and left. Hit it with some fancy footwork and reach up and right for optimism and a soon to be send. Refer to pic for a trail map to this treasure.

Really juggy problem with an interesting top out, depending out how you do it.  Deep, Vertical pockets.

Sit start. Climbs right corner, making use of a left hand gaston on good edge. Hands are marked in photo. Any feet go.

Sit start in right side of alcove on south-west face.  Right hand on undercling, left hand on center rib.  Pop up to slopey dish, match.  Then only use holds in alcove, work your way into an Iron cross.  Hit the right hand crimper in the back of the cove and finish up and left.

On the right side of the Africa face is fun route with crimps and pockets flowing into a nice cross-over finish.

Huge right heel hook sit start.  Hand traverse across the top of the dish overhang.  Connect up with Humpty Dumpty Buffalo Direct Top Out.

This is a boulder created by Monolithic Sculptures, Inc . It was recently installed in Hales Corners Park.  It is a memorial to Jake Knapp, an 18 year old avid climber who passed away back in March 2004 due to a sudden seizure.  His family donated the money for this rock to be placed in the park.  There are plenty of trees around, so the area is shady.  Although the rock is synthetic material, it is unbelievably like bouldering on real rock.  You may have to put up with kids who like to play around the rock.  It is surprising how many different problems are on this boulder. Tons of pockets, edges, and jugs all over this thing.  Its great!
