Sit start with a good but high and hard to reach right-hand undercling and a small lefthand undercling crimp on the overhang. Pull on with difficulty and move up to some sloping rails and climb the face and the arete with friction and balance dependent moves. Stand tall and trust the feet in order to reach the sloping lip. Topout with care using a good righthand crystal and slopers for the left.

Ironhide

Eightball, Corner Pocket

Stand start with a right hand Sloper on the bulge, and a lefthand sidepull in a vertical crack. Pull onto the wall with some feet on the overhang and punch up to an edge found above the left hand in the vertical crack. Once here, figure out a way to smack up to a seam on the slab, then somehow match and do a tricky and difficult mantle.

Sit start with a good righthand and lefthand matched or on a sloping undercling out left. Figure out the feet and pull up to some crystal sidepulls and gastons before reaching out to the unique pocket feature. From here pull up to the sloping lip and throw it behind you.

This is a large secluded boulder that is rarely visited by many Blair-going climbers. This boulder holds a few classic lines and one or two not so classic lines. After the recent timber harvest, this boulder now proudly overlooks a large clearing, making the gem of the boulder "Optimus" that much more proud and airy.
