Has probably been done before since it was cleaned when I got there, but not sure of the FA. Start squatting with both hands on the arete, and  a good right foot. Use very technical feet and balance-y moves all the way up. Felt hard for me, but in cooler temps this is definitely easier, and with perfect foot beta it could go at around V5.

Red Hot Moon (on Moon Boulder)

Start using a small pinch crimp for your right and a sloping left handed crimp. Figure out your feet and shoot up to small crimps and into a gaston.  Continue through more crimps up and left to top out the boulder.  

Start at the bottom of the arete on good jugs.  Work your way upwards with a variety of holds to choose from.  You can traverse left to exit out on slabs for an alternative.

Sit start the left hand in the flaring crack and right hand no the arete. Pull on on good feet and make moves to crimps on the face, long moves with smears blocks the top out. Fun balancy problem. 

Sit start in the giant deep flake and climb it to the lip of the boulder, then shim sham shadoo your way to the right end of the boulder and top out around the corner from compression session. A contender for one of the best warmups in the area. 

Start matched on the lower right of the crescent moon feature.  Slap up and right on the blunt arete until you can build your feet high and launch up left to top out.

Start matched on the upper part of the “Crescent Moon” with poor and limited feet, and lunge up to the jug up left. Right arete is off.Hard to put a grade on this one since it’s only one move and may vary for climbers of different height, but V6 still makes sense in my opinion, even though Crimp Ladder felt impossible for me.

Sit start at the base with a low left hand hold and an upper right hand in the crescent arc. Figure out the feet, squeeze your brains out and throw up left to a positive rail.  Control your swing and make another big move to the lip of the boulder.  Top out and then go take a nap.

Sit start the warm-up arete. Climb up to the horizontal flake and traverse right on bad feet. At the end, make a huge move right and top out crescent moon. 

Tier 2 is a fantastic cluster of large boulders with a variety of grades and climbing styles.

 You will know you have reached Tier 2 when you see the obvious crescent half moon boulder problem on the outskirts of the boulder cluster. Moving into the cluster provides plenty of good arete and slab climbs as well as powerful compression boulders and crimpy face climbing. Grades range from V0 slabs to V6 highballs. Landings for each boulder are flat and do not require many pads.

 Routes are re-discovered every day and it is advised to bring a wire brush to scrub some lichen if you see a line that is inspiring!

 We have reached out to local climbers about potential FA's in the past but currently have little information. Route names are temporary and please leave a comment if you have knowledge about existing names and first ascentionists. The bouldering potential here is endless and more people should come out and climb on these fantastic blocks!
