An enjoyable rail traverse. Sit/crouch start, hands matched on the fin. Traverse the slopey ledge out right into the schist rock. Continue right on cool holds then round over the lip right away or climb to the apex of the block.

 Variation: Once at the center of the boulder go straight up instead. Same grade?

Ball Buster

Start the same as for Slumpbuster. Once on the slopey shelf, tackle the steepest part of the boulder through a couple crimps then bigger holds. Easy top out.

This lowly boulder problem makes up for it's flaws with some fun and unconventional moves. Start in the way back of the cave just left of the soot marks. Crouch start, left hand in slot, right on a intermediate crimp. Feet on large shelf. Traverse the seam out right on good crimps and poor feet. Drop down to a huge jug then straight up to top out. Needs more cleaning.

An unattractive looking boulder but holds a handful of steep problems that climb well. South facing, great warm-up spot for the harder stuff in the area.
