Periscope Boulder:   Sit Start on the same low flat hand that "periscope" does, which is in the middle/bottom of the front face of the Periscope Boulder. work up and to the left through a sidepull/crimp and another sidepull/crimp with a crooked undercling. move up to a ledge and work across the lip to the right into a long jug. from the long jug, heel hook the previous ledge and press up into a fun but slightly hard top out.

While climbed long, long ago, this almost forgotten line is fun and wasn’t listed as to not clutter the page with too many "connect the dot" lines. However, I don’t think this muddies the water too much and is a straight forward, fun and fairly classic climb.  

  Start as per "Periscope" and "Bombsight" on the same jug at the bottom left of the boulder.  

  Move up as per Bombsight to edges near the steep overhang but trend right as opposed to continuing direct as per Bombsight. 

  Use the lower ledge that is typically the "periscope" feature for footwork and trend right via crimps and flakes in the higher overhang to top out near "Periscope" once over the high point.

Periscope Boulder: 

  -This is a silly little one-move-wonder with an added 10 feet of jug-tastic, easy, monster handholds to finish out on. If you like hard one move problems this one is for you, if not, dont waste your chalk and spare us all you complaints. This one is super fun in my book. 

  Find the "Periscope" boulder problem. To the right of this on the same boulder is a low, steep, smooth face (to the right of the thin diagonal finger rails that "periscope" follows). On this face you will find the two starting holds for this line. 

  Look high for the small slopey left hand crimp, and low for the thin, tiny right hand crimp. Post up a high left foot and pull off the ground. 

  Make a massive dynamic right move up to the huge jug rail/crack/bucket overhead and prepare for the "helicopter" ejection swing. Hold that and top out over the highest point directly above on the Periscope Boulder. 

The Wink:

  On the far right side of the Periscope Boulder, almost touching the Ranger Rick Boulder. 

  At the low right side of the boulder, locate the deep pocket and use it for your right hand hold for the sit start. 

  Pick up from the sit start and follow the casual holds and fun moves up along the side of the boulder to top out at the highest point of the side of the Periscope Boulder.

-Periscope Boulder-   Sit Start in the crimpy lines and connect into the rail. follow feet and hands across the protrusion, using whatever feet feel good and make fun moves to transfer and traverse to the next side of the boulder to your right. as you transfer around you will trend higher and up above the slab of rock that will now be under you. top high on good hands and feet.

Classic! This boulder holds one of the most classic V3s in GHSP; "Periscope". 

  Steep, tall, and beautiful. The Periscope Boulder never disappoints. Bring a couple pads and dont forget your camera.  

  There are a plethora of other contrivances and test-pieces to be had here if you are interested. I would rather keep the content listed to the most straight forward boulder problems. Ask around or make up your own!
