A short warm up. Not the most appealing line but not the worst climb I've ever done either. Start about 1/3 of the way up the lip on some good crimps.

An eye-catching line of orange clashing with a darker face that follows a jutting fin up to decent topout. Starts on the dark face with a diagonally facing right-hand crimp and the left hand crimping just beside it on a smaller horizontal down-pull. The crux involves moving out to the jugs behind the fin. The climbing then eases up in comparison, followed by a topout with two decent sidepulls over the lip of the bulge that allow you to lean to your right and get a high left foot.

Start on great shelf in the center of the boulder to the left of the tree. Move up to two good crimps under the roof. Throw big to a nose shaped ledge, then work your way right to a jug. High heel on ledge and go up to a great jug and decent sloper. Top out to the jug at the top of the crackline above the ledge.

Start on any holds on lowest shelf, into shallow pocket and nice undercling and through a tough topout crux. Starting further to the right would discourage use of the arete. Cooler moves that way. 

A great problem that requires some strong problem solving skills. Start low under the bulge with hands next to each other on small holds. Fire some cryptic moves that may or may not involve some combination of drop-knees, toe hooks up by your hands, and powerful moves with the eventual goal of trending left and finishing on the apex or to the left of the bulge.

Shares the sit start with Slot Machine Left. SDS with hands matched on the low rail. Get up to the 3 slots. From the 3 slots, go right instead of left. Exit up and right of the tree.

A techy pistol-squat dyno. Start left hand on a large sidepull block and right hand on flat angled undercling. Rock onto a right foot and lunge hard for the perfect lip. Interestingly, the sharply cut holds feel good in your hands, cleaning up well on an otherwise sandy boulder.

Start matched on the low rail - a bit sandy (not as bad as DBS currently, after I cleaned it), may require light brushing. Look for a secret pocket to gain the three beautiful slots. Exit up and to the left of the tree.If you have info about a different name / FA, let me know. I think the name fits the features very nicely.

This strange but fun problem traverses a clean horizontal vein of crimps and mini-jugs across the face of a mocha colored boulder. The kicker: all the holds are at chest height making for some scrunchy climbing. Any tiny crushers may really enjoy this one. Start crossed on good holds on the left and traverse right. Feet disappear at the bulge making for a technical crux. Finish on the arete on the uphill side of the boulder.

Starts around the corner from Groove Attack. Left Hand on the sharp pinch at chest height and right hand on the crimp just to the right. From here, traverse along the face using the rails and crimps to make a slightly unstable go for the lip. The top of the boulder has a 2 foot section of flat rock that you are aiming for to finish.

Start as far right as possible and traverse left. Mantle when you reach the left end of the boulder.

 Starts on the large protruding double jug and moves straight up along the seam in the rock. First move is to the juggy rail just above and then to the next rail which has a decent crimp for your right hand and a small sloper for your left. From here you bring up left hand to small a 2 finger gaston move and pull through this to either a crimp or thumbcatch with your right. Top out is a big slope with a few small pockets to pull through the top. (Worked on this 1+year before it went, unsure on grade)

A striking addition to Shotgun. With its orange face and small roof it looks like a mini Orangutang Swang from Zen Pen. Rock quality is somewhere near or above that of Sky High, despite its very chossy appearance. Start in the lowest groove on the face. Work up into the face and then onto the arete to gain the lip above the roof.

The East sector of Shotgun that is home to Stiffler’s Mom, an area classic.
