Sit start with hands matched on the diagonal shelf.  From there, bump up the shelf, stem the feet, deadpoint to the next shelf, work a kneebar, then finish up the remainder on an assortment of holds (crux) for a solid topout.

Trick to this one is sorting through the wide array of holds on the face.  Some of the holds are good, but most are difficult to progress on.  There is a good, three finger sidepull pocket that really helps gain the jugs below the lip.

Ruin Warm-up

Sit start with an incut, left hand sidepull at the arete and a right hand gaston.  From there, bump up the arete on some sharp crimps (crux), eventually hit the jugs at the break and halfway point.  At that point on, finish the remaining arete using the jagged jugs (be careful, not the best quality), and top it out.

Sit start matched on the slotted edge at the arete. From there, traverse right though a sidepull to the shelf, and continue right along good features to reach a walking finish.

This is a great warm-up for not just this boulder but for the area. Traverse left-to-right or right-to-left, whatever you want. You can finish by topping out the boulder if you'd like; there are a lot of exits. It is fun to play leap frog with a partner and just get the blood flowing.
