Right off the ground is a hard crux, the starting holds feel very small, luckily the feet are big. The jug rail is really fun, because you can go feet first, swing them behind, or smear on bad edges. Then you drop into the start of

A Bit of Eden

, and fire those moves. All in all, this is a stellar problem.

Don't Feed the Boulders

A Bit of Eden

Left Branch

Start at the large jug left of the little tree sprouting from the boulder. Move out left to a hold just over the lip the fun move up to a sidepull with your right. From there, go up to some good holds to top out.

Hypersex is likely my favorite problem I've sent at the Pool of Plenty. If it wasn't for a slight sand factor with the start holds, I would give this a classic rating.

Sit start with hands matched on the jug feature. From there, hit the seam on the shelf with a left, heel down, cross over with the right, swing (crux?, dab factor), campus traverse further left down the shelf, stick a left hand bump on the arete, make a big move to a right hand pinch (crux?), and top it out.

The problem shares the same start as

A Bit of Eden

and finishes up on

Left Branch

.

Sit start matched on the jug. From there, stick a right hand pocket, place a left heel hook, gain a left hand sidepull, bump through a right hand sloper to a palm-pinch, gain the lip with the left hand, hit the jug with the right hand, and use the bumps to reach an easy mantel.

Start on a good left hand bulb and your right hand beside it on a slightly sloping crimp. Move up to the bad pocket then the side pull. Follow the crimps to the lip and make a big move to the glorious hold on top.

Heel hooks are your friends going upward.
