Just left of the pillow-sloper arete look low for the long edge rail that runs just above the low undercut roof at the boulders base/corner. 

  Star matched on the rail. Reach up to an edge and then up to the juggy ledge. Continue up the face until standing and reach out to the nearest arete sloper. Continue up the face to the top arete sloper and top out. Continue up slab with iron edges and chicken heads.

A superb optional start to Steamboat. 

  Sit start as per "Steam Factory" and traverse right along the spectacular line of huge hueco jugs to finish at the far right face as per "Steamboat"

That pinch! 

  To the right side of the main tall face (to the right side of the face with Steam Factory) look for the diagonal, downward facing, flat undercling feature. 

  Sit start in the large hueco feature below the diagonal. Climb directly up to the ledge and use a left thin pinch and small right crimp to lunge into the undercling pinch diagonal. Continue up direct to the leaning arete corner to top out with iron bubbles and chicken heads.

On the tall front face follow the low line of jug huecos to the left. When beside the close tree, look high for the cap rock ontop of the boulder and below the left side of the cap find the mid-face ledge feature. 

  Sit start in the hueco below the ledge feature high on the face. 

  Toss off the start to the two edges in the corner feature. Work to a large edge and then lock off to the high flat ledge feature mid face. Use a smaller flat hold to pounce to the flat rail over the rounded lip. Climb over easy slab terrain to the apex cap rock to top out.

On the far right side of the steam boulder past the arete to the far right at the low roof.  Get established on the low right toe under the roof with a right hand two finger side pull and left hand on slopers.  Climb straight up through the beautiful ripples with some balance and friction.

The furthest left side of the boulder, left of Steam Factory and the tree. Sit start underneath the roof on flat jugs. Make a big move out and right to the big sloper jug. Trend left to slopers and maneuver over the bulge straight up through crimps and sloping shelves.

Beside and below the Shotgun Boulder, and further down into Jaybird Branch from Mausoleum is the beautiful, proud Steam Boulder. The front face is thrilling and lofty, the downhill face is covered in amazing rippled slopers.
