Low start with two hands on the farthest right flake/tufa as pictured. Make your way up through a pinch, and a helpful knee bar. Then go left through the two horn features (one lower and one higher). Top out just right of the upper horn feature.

Holds for Heavens Ring to the left are off.

Originally climbed and graded as if the big sloper above the knee bar moves is off. I think a line straight up from the start using that sloper (and maybe some holds to the right) would be good, and probably hard, but I never fully cleaned it or tried it that way. The line is intended to get to and through the obvious horn holds in the middle of the face.

Tall boulder - thus the R rating. One dynamic throw from about 15 feet up seems to be the only scary move, and not more than V3.

* I asked some prominent CR climbers who are still engaged in the community (and awesome, always willing to help), and they didn’t have info on this boulder. Also, fwiw, this boulder is next to the newer John Nicholas trail, which only opened in 2014. Before this maybe some bushwhacking to find and get to this - and further back in time some of this was gated and not accessible (from what I gather). That said, the CR area has been climbed for 50+ years, so you never know. If someone uncovers some history on this, lmk!

Heavens Ring

Stand start with both hands on the giant circle hueco. Burly move to stand up in the hueco (physical crux?), then some reachy moves straight up and over the boulder.

This is probably the clearest problem on the boulder, with the most obvious starting feature, and the mostly likely line that would have been done imo, but because of the access issues and lack of info out there maybe not. If someone uncovers some history on this, lmk!
