To the left of the crooked tree, find the deeper vertical crack/seam with coarse slopers and orang-ish surface color. Sit start at the base with a right foot in a huge low pocket and a left hand pinching a deep slopey pocket. Work up the seam past pinches and slopers to eventually lay-back on a flat open handed loaf. Top out high and direct to slab your way up the rest.

There are cool holds everywhere around this one, so pick your poison. To avoid naming holds, just follow these guidelines for what would be considered the "problem" here. 

  On the first corner, before you round the corner to the rest of the main "BOB Boulder" find the low steepness and the very long jug rail below. Start matched on the left side of this long jug ledge. Climb out of the steepness, but stay to the right of the slab further left, and stay to the left of the crack that is to the right (that is the line for Grayson Grimace). Basically climb between Grimace and the slabby weakness to the top out. Once at the top, follow the arête corner as it becomes thin up high.

A claustrophobic persons anti-problem. To the right of the BoB Boulder, find the shady incut and overhung crack inbetween the Boulder and Block. Start low in jugs in the crack and follow the crack out to the high chimney split. Squeeze into the split and chimney out.

To The right of the tree, and to the left of "slippery slab." This is on the rear of the boulder, on the uphill side, opposite of the main boulder face. Find the juggy and fractured crack in the slab. Stand start in a low jug and climb to the top out.

Such a stellar new line for the BoB. 

  Sit start ~8ft left of the massive overhung dihedral that is the right corner of the BoB Boulder. Find the diagonal, left trending, right facing crimp rail. At the base of this is the start hold, a larger, flat, right facing chunk. 

  Off the sit start, work up the diagonal rail. Make a big move left to the large undercling feature. Establish in the undercling and make a big move higher to work into the large roof feature.  

  Use the good jug to work past the small top knob, and squirrel from under the pointy roof to link into the finish as per "Infinity Focus" and finish the highball slab.

Yep, this one is pretty classic. 

  To the right past the crooked tree, before you get to the steep dihedral (Shoulders of Giants), look up high for the massive, pointed, overhanging flake feature. 

  Below this look low for a hollow flake to the left, and a nice chip/crimp/chunk for the right. These are the start hands. 

  Sit start using the above mentioned hands and make a large move up high to two more, similar crimps. Move again up to two slopers. Get a high foot and launch up to the massive pointed shelf feature to pinch the nose.  

  Work along the nose to get up onto the lofty slab to slab your way to glory.

Tough and awesome. 

  On the main wall/face of the BoB Boulder find the croocked tree that has grown close to the ground, curving away from the boulder. To the right of this find the flakey, juggy, vertical slot feature for the sit start. 

  Get inventive for feet with the start, sit starting matched in any jugs in the jug feature. Move up/left to a thin crimp, and higher to the small pebble/crimp/pinch. Continue through higher slopers and pinches to high knobs. Climb into the knobby slab and follow holds direct to the top, staying right of the curved tree for the entirety of the climb.

A super fun, super easy slab. On the backside from the main long face, find the slab to the left of the tree. Stand start and follow good holds to the comfy top.

One of the best in the park. This boulder is beautiful, large, and has a nice landing throughout (minus the crooked tree in one section). With a variety of grades to choose from (crazy hard to crazy fun) the BoB Boulder is definitely one to visit.
