An old Lance Bateman project.  Climbs the obvious left leaning thin crack on the south face of the Beer Can Cave boulder. Start standing below the crack.  Some relatively mellow face moves lead to the crack.  Make some technical, tricky moves to gain the crack and surf it until it ends.  Then make some hard moves up the blunt arete and follow pleasant holds to the top.  To my knowledge, this line has only been climbed on toprope.  Leading it on gear--or bouldering it--would be rather sketchy.  Video of FA from 2012 available

You'll find relatively clean rock, climbing on small edges that goes for a long ways before perfect juggy relief. Not a beginner problem, pretty tall.

Starts in the cave at the bottom on two opposing sidepulls. It moves to the shelf on the left and do a long lock off to a right crimp. You can then either go straight up from here (harder), or get funky with a bicycle rose move combo to but right to the lip.

Start low on left facing side pull, move out right to a shelf, and punch for the top. Don't fall.

A variety of features including a jug, a crack, edges and smears. Steeper than it looks, and tall. You don't want to fall from the top. Enjoyable.
