Sit start at the big flake. Move left to a good crimp around the arete. Throw a heel up to the flake and figure out a way to get to the top.

A climb almost lost to the ages. Once sitting under a thick blanket of moss it is now clean again...and is actually fun! How'd people let this get so mossy in the first place?! 

  Stand start on the massive hold about 7 ft up, pop for the lip, and then figure out the best way to get over it. A nice warm up for the Swirley Boulder. 

  Variation: A sit start is apparently rated around v7 but a hold may be broken.

Start full span with opposing sidepulls/ underclings with a good foot. Punch for the large hold in the middle of the overhang. Make a powerful match, then gun for the sloping lip of the boulder. Once here, get psyched and powerfully yet delicately mantle on to the green landscape.

A technical and spicy slab that is likely a notch down in difficulty from "Eat Your Veggies".Start with a left hand on a high sloping crystal crimp in the dike and a low right hand crystal pinch. Find some feet to pull on then move up to an interesting "peanut" hold out right. Then, use some stemming foot smears to gain higher sloping crystals in the dike.  Make some additional cruxy moves up to some improving crystal edges and continue up the dike before rocking over onto the low angled perpendicular slab to top out.

Hard, sharp, aesthetic and sustained.

  Squat start the pretty overhang with a small right hand gaston pocket and a large sidepull on the arete for the left. Pull on and make a powerful move up to a crimp before smacking up to some crystals on the arete. Once here, huck for a knob on the lip and then match. Figure out how to top it out.Down climb is the mossy backside ramp.

A technical, fingery and delicate slab climb that may split the skin open. A true Blair Woods slab test-piece.

 Stand start the slab with a left hand crimp rail and a high right hand crimp rail. Make a hard pull onto the wall and figure out what holds to go to and where to get your feet. There is a somewhat blank section in the middle of the wall and larger holds found near the top.

 

This is an aesthetic mid-sized boulder found just past the popular Swirley Boulder. This rock houses several very good problems including the neo-classic "Shepherd's Pie" and the brick-hard slab test-piece, Miles Galloway FA, "Eat Your Veggies". The boulder also has a few unclimbed projects.
