This problem is on the left side of the boulder when you walk in on the main path. It climbs the easy rail system on the face next to the two aretes.

Unknown V0

Unknown V3+ variant

Darkside Cowboy

Easy slab

Picasso's Dream

Unknown V3

Unknown V4

I am U

Circus Clown

Railslide

Unknown Corner

Sit start the arete just right of the tree. Use a bit of funkery to climb the arete.

Same start as the Unknown V4, but hit the slippery crystal crimp with the left and then move to the upper right gaston and use the sloping edge and crystals to top-out.

The low angle slab has many variations from very easy to about V0. a good activity is to climb with no hands. Many year ago there was a bolt at the top of this face, it has long been chopped. 

This route should be called "Bro Den" Start where the boulder makes the claim to be the bro den. Jump to small chicken heads. Smear/use small crystals covered in slippery paint  to make tough moves to more small chicken heads. Mantle and climb to the top of the boulder and proclaim yourself "King of Bros".

Sit start the arete on the southeast corner, make a few moves to get off the ground and climb easy terrain to the top. 

The whole route is good. The crux is sticking the dish for the top-out, while on smear high-steps for feet. But, overall, it is sustained.

Stand or sit start and climb straight over the bulge.  Sit on underlings and reach to small pinch/crimp high on face.  Stand start with right hand on crimp/pinch and left on anything else you can find.  Pull on a make a delicate move to the lip.  Pull the lip on crystals to top out.  Either way the grade is in the v6-8 range.

This problem may be easier than some of the other V4s on the boulder. It starts on the large rail close to the ground on climbers left of Picasso's Dream. Make a few moves to top out. 

Start on the base of the upward curving rail two feet to the right of the Unknown V4 and follow it up to the lip and top out straight up from there. See the picture on Unknown V4 for a view of the rail.

Sit start below the dihedral, layback up the corner and top out on sloping holds. Crux is the topout.

The rock is granite, though it is solid, it has some spray paint from slack-jawed troglodytes exercising sophomoric nit-wittery. Most of the rock is less than vertical or vertical, with mantle top outs on pebbles and crystals. Bring DEET in the summer, because there are hordes of mosquitoes. 

  Most of the lines on this boulder were first done in the 1980's by Alan Julliard and Paul Berryhill.

 A bouldering guide to Alaska was recently released by Todd Helgeson and covers most of the bouldering in Alaska and features an in depth Hatcher Pass section with great details and photos, to get the boulderer where they want to be climbing. The guide is available for sale atakclimber.com
