Good warm-up problem.  Start with left hand on a small sidepull on the vertical crack.  Throw right up to the large pocket, then up through the notch in the roof.  Good holds for top-out.

Sit-Start Side-Pull Problem

Shallows

(i'm just assigning names to this boulder/routes to serve as place holders on mp.com, this is not a fa or new problem as i'm sure these both have been climbed many times in many ways) Sit start with hands matched on crimpy rail and a left foot heel hook up high. Pull hard with the heel hook and go left hand for small sidepull high and left. Stand up into this and then span over with the right hand to another side pull. Step up and go left hand for the lip and top out. there are many variations possible on this face.

On Southwest face of Carrier Boulder, there is a larger sidepull with a lot of chalk on it.  This is the crux hold of this problem.   

  Sit-start low on next to nothing--right hand on a decent one pad, three finger pocket in the right hand, left hand will be on a miniscule crimper.  Work out the feet on your own, I guess.  I've seen and heard different beta for the feet.  Pull and throw to the underclingy sidepull with the left hand, and move with the right hand up to the juggy pocket. 

  Note:  V5 may be a sandbagger rating. 

To the right of The Shallows is a really bad pod. Start matched in it and do two hard moves to a easy finish.

(i'm just assigning names to this boulder/routes to serve as place holders on mp.com, this is not a fa or new problem as i'm sure these both have been climbed many times in many ways)   This line goes straight up the arete. Sit start with left hand on good abnormal juggy hold, right hand on slopy arete, and both feet on a good shelf. Pull hard and stand up, go right hand high to a good crimp on the arete, then bump left hand to side pull crimp, step up, bump left hand again to a wierd pocket that has a good mono in it and a thumb catch. Finish with right hand going to the lip, traverse right on the lip for the best top out holds or just go straight up for a slightly harder finish.

Sit start about 4 feet beneath the jug on the corner of the boulder on a good left hold and a pinch under the roof with your right. Climb up to the jug then do the first few moves of the shallows but instead of grabing the big jug pocket continue to traverse all the way right to the other corner avoiding the lip until the finish. Contrived but still fun.

Sit start:  Left hand on downward/outward-pull block "thingy," right hand on downward-pull edge; feet on shelves below.  Reach up and right to gaston/sidepull.  Match hands on gaston to sidepull (use the thumb catch).Put right hand on a half-pad mono crimp.  Push up to the nice, clearly stated jug and continue up and over the remaining section.   

  Pretty tall problem for the area.

It is a sit start using the big crack on the arete and a little crimp about 2 feet to the left(has quite a bit of chalk on it. then through to 2 very shallow three finger pockets(hence the name shallow) and way left to a side pull crimp and then jug on top.

This is one of the tallest walls in the Rock Maze.  The color of the rock is similar to that of "Golden Wall," but this particular boulder features a severely overhanging portion that stretches roughly twenty feet in length on the South side.  The Yellow Wall area on the West side of the boulder stands fifteen to twenty feet high and is vertical to slightly overhanging with a tuft of rock hanging out at the top.  This wall is relatively blank minus some large holds on the left portion and an obvious sidepull.  The tell-tale mark of this boulder is the "Sargent 2000" engraved on the rock.
