Potential new problem on Enlightenment Ridge (not in Ocean's 11 guidebook).  Bottom holds were chalked but the topout was covered in dirt and lichen so we suspect undone. Start sitting in dihedral on good holds. Engaging deadpoints on good edges lead to sloping three-finger dish on arete. From there, small edges lead to a technical topout up the slab.  FA on 9/15/18 with second ascent by Nathan Bradford and third ascent by Jackson Adair the same day.  Left start remains a project.  Named for my grandfather, a Flying Tiger in WW2.

Beautiful proud line. Follow pebbles and sloping edges to a nice but big move at the end when it's scariest. Also called "Aztec Warrior" by Darren Odgers, Juan Carlo and many others because we don't live in France and I don't know how to pronounce that crap.

Sit start in scoop and move up using awkward angled holds.

Pocketed face right of the tree. A hard move half way up gains a good 3-finger pocket which leads to scary top-out. The top-out foot is fragile.

The Chorro Loaf has three problems on the southeast corner and possibly another on the other side.

The Chorro Grande Loaf, V2. SS tricky sloper start. R wall off. Awkward.

Half-a-Loaf, V0. SS up the corner.

Pinch-a-Loaf, V0. Horizontal crack to start.

The back side of the Loaf has a short roof to mantle SS.

the rock quality is OK, but the problem are prolly better suited for the vertically challanged or kids.

Sit start to pockets and smooth knobs, easy.

Sit start in the cave and use stem techniques the reach high up to some good holds.

Start on the right side of the wall next to the arete and climb through juggy plates the whole way.

The tallest boulder in the meadow. This line follows the 45-degree over hanging arete. Start on low pinch on arete and right on the long crimp rail with left heel in the half moon.

Sit start with left hand on the big side pull, right hand squeezing on a low sloper. Move up to the sloping rail on the face and bust out right to a sharp crimp plate. Heel hookery and some fresh squeezies awaits. Either charge straight up or escape out left.

Sit down start on a cobbly ledge. Climb up and left on slopers to a horizontal seam. Fix your feet on good rock and pump for the big edge on top. Very fun.

Red, green and orange face. Start on Twin gastons to crimps to more crimps to hueco. Brilliant!

Bear hug the blunt arete with tiny pockets, slopey side-pulls & edges to a glory jug at the top. Great problem!

Sit start on decent holds and make a big move out right. A few more moves to a large hueco and you’re done.

Sit down start, climb the left edge of the boulder on knob and seams and stuff.

Climb up the scoops and get your feet up for a reachy top out. Drop off the other side.

Start with a left hand on a gritty crimp and a good right hand. Move high and left to tiny crimp nubbin and use good feet and an undercling to gain patina and slopers for the top out.

Work edges up the face to a slopey top-out

Start Losing Your Marbles but make another move to the next sloper loaf and top out from there.

Sit start with a long reach out right. Mind the flakes, they're a little shakey.

On the left arete starting on the big rail. Top out straight up.

Slopey side pulls & edges up the blunt arete

Start with a left hand in the obvious slot (same start hands as Longing for Yearning), move up to the other large mail slot and then look for a very hard to see crimp to your high left. From there it's sloper madness to mantle the top. Extra points for topping straight over the buldge instead of escaping far right.

The classic highball and an area favorite.

Climb the obvious arete on good holds to a high top out. Descend via the opposite side of the boulder. A large tree helps.

A 2-3 move locker finger crack up to a optional offwidth move or two OR move to the left and top out on patina jugs

High step onto fragile looking side pulls gets you high enough to worry about the toe of wall below you. Exciting but never desperate.

Sit start under the roof crack and move directly out for slopers and a really satisfactory mantel.

Begin from a sit and pull a couple tough moves to gain the hueco. Moving off the hueco, make some big moves for the top.

The standing start is V6.

Start on slots at corner and move up and right. Crux involves a sharp crimp towards the end

Technical, burly, and all around wonderful pine mountain slopers. High start with a right hand dish and and do some foot magic to hit the higher left hand. Top out with some slapping!

Get set under the bulge, and work your way up on good holds to the arete, top out to your left.

Climb the big chicken heads up the center of the face, fun and tall.

Huecos to a side-pull/under cling to a crimp. Then find the small holds over the top and mantle up

Start left of the arete. Climb the face, using pebbles and other thin holds, moving right halfway up and finish Rapunzul.
