Sit start with your right hand on a bad sloper and left hand on a vaguely ball-like sloper. There are several options for getting to the pinch, some involving a barely-there sloper intermediate, and some involving a powerful and extended gaston. Once you wrap the jug with your right hand, it's pretty much in the bag (assuming you can climb The Wave stand).   

  The ideal conditions for an ascent of this sloper testpiece are a crisp 80-degree day in June, with full humidity, and nursing a hangover from Princeton Reunions. While we conservatively grade this problem V8, there have been murmurs that the true grade is closer to V10. To those murmurers I say: Thank you. You're very kind.

Start with your left hand on a decent edge and your right hand on a pinch just below the jug. Bump up to the jug and continue to the slopey lip. For full value, don't traverse right at the lip, but instead top out straight up. You can do it!Alternate Description:Standing in front of the prow. Right hand on the jug on the prow. Left hand out to the left. Go onto the right side for an easier variation. Go left and top out is harder. 

Standing start on the bottom of the boulder, putting the left foot in the crack, or climbing up the arete to the right. 

Best warm up in the woods. Start on the same holds as Sharknado and traverse left on good holds with reachy, technical feet. End with an easy mantle onto the left face at the start of The Seam

Super short problem on the slab.

 Beta:

 First scramble up onto the big ledge. Start hands on the two big edges. Put right foot in the big crack down just above the ledge you start on, then reach left foot out to a juggy thing on the arete  (lower arrow). Stand up and go left hand to the slopey hold on the arete, then bring your right hand up to the tiny pocket. Next, a SUPER high right foot to where your right hand started. Reach right hand up to the top, bring your left foot up to the edge your left hand started on, and then you're basically there.

Start at the very low angle part of the boulder, and reach up into the seam. Traverse the seam to the left, as as it pinched down to nothing (and the feat disappear as well!). Top out the boulder at the end of the seam. 

Start on crimps and decent feet in the center of the slab.  Work thin holds straight up to the top avoiding going left or right. 

Stand start on the left side of the slab.  Use some crimps to help you get onto the slab and then work your way straight up and top out. Easier the further left you go.

This boulder adds a sit start to the "cave problem". Start with your hands on two low crimps with solid feet on the inside right of the cave. Work through a couple good crimps and then make a big move into the starting ledge of the cave problem. With an awkward heel hook and undercling slap to a sloper. From here make a big move to a good edge over the lip. Traverse left through small crimps (although you can top out going straight up from the crimps, I have done this finish and don't think it is any harder, and it seems like a shame to waste the fun holds you get exiting to the left) and the occasional feet to top out on the left side above a smaller boulder. 

Like Flying Hawaiian but a lot worse.Start on the bottom of the wide crack and mantle to a stance at the bottom of the dihedral. From there trust your feet and tips to the topout, or reach through the crux if you can.

Start on the jug and somehow finagle both your arms onto the opposing sidepulls. From there, bump your way to the top! 

Sit start with your hands on either side of the tooth on the undercling/ side pulls.  Pull up to a good left hand side pull and top out.  

Start at the center of the slab beside the ledge or on the big side pull further to the right. Move up and left to the large edge, step up onto thin feet, make a tricky move, and top out.

Far right of the boulder. Staying right of the sidepull. 

 Sit start with left hand on a good hold (left arrow, just to the left/out of frame of the picture) and right on a decent one (right arrow); get a heel hook where the circled hold is and go up.

Start with your left foot on a very good rail low and your right hand on the obvious hold that is chalked in the photo. 

 You can climb this without a pad, as the landing area between the two boulders is pretty flat. If you don't have a pad be prepared to bail early or have some good ankles if you blow the crux.

Same start as Stuart Arete but go straight up to the seam instead.

start on the bottom right of the slopey arete. Don't be afraid of some high feet on this route!

 Beta: left hand out to the big side pull marked with a red circle shimmy the right hand up the side. plenty of feet to move around to. Top out using the nice top blue edge marked in the image

A quiet and humble local bouldering area near Princeton University. With some imagination (and a lot of desperation), there is much fun to be had here.

 There's an official guidebook available for Witherspoon Woods bouldering - it's a sub-section within the Sourland Mountain GunksAapp guide, which can be found here: gunksapps.com/sourland_boul….
