Start on the undercling jug below the base of the crack for

. This line climbs the same crack, but stays in the crack through wide fist jams up and to the right instead of going left onto the face. Enjoy all the jamming fun of nectar without the lichen-covered slab.

Sit start under the roof, and follow the zig-zag crack to where it goes vertical. At the top of the vertical crack, make a long reach out left to a reasonable hole with the left hand. Proceed up and left across micros; including a 2-finger hole, with very small feet until you are able to make a safe top-out. A little nerve wracking without a spotter.

This is a surprisingly fun lip traverse obviously neglected by those heading for harder problems up the hill. Start as far left as you can get (pretty much in the bushes), and traverse from left to right pulling around the corner at the end for an easy topout. Seriously... it's worth doing if you're messing around in the area.

Start on obvious jug in middle of the slab, trend up and left on crimps. The crux is the last couple moves to the apex of the boulder.

Sit start on a left undercling crimp and right hand sloper. Heel hook and bump right hand to another sloper. Work into the underclings and climb compression into a techy mantle.

The problem starts with the same crack as

Sweet Nectar

, but instead of following the crack out north, climb west along the cave wall.

Start with a left hand jam (may not exist any more per tick comment) and a right jug. Move to the next jug, with big crescent moon feet, then negotiate the thin hands crack, and continue up on jugs and minimal feet until you top out to the right to a big handcrack near the start of

Low Hanging Melons

. Crack technique makes this much easier, but brute force can be used as well.

This has most definitely been done before, it is being added so that it can be enjoyed in its own right. If you know the original name or first ascentionist, let me know and I'll update accordingly.

Currently I am leaving the information blank for a bit, because somebody undoubtedly has climbed this neat feature before. If you have info on it, please provide it - though we saw no chalk nor any cleaning to lead us to believe it gets climbed much.

This one feels like it came straight out of a bouldering comp. Climb the crescent feature left of the arrowhead arete straight up and to the left, following the curve of the crescent using underclings and edges (do not use the crack, that is the V2 problem). Find a good edge up high, and figure out your crux topout of choice - this can be done burly and dynamic or very thoughtful and balancey. Watch out for hitting your head on the roof of the arete behind you.

This seems like a bit of a squeeze job, but we found it to be significantly more enjoyable than either of its direct neighbors.

This is short but worth doing. Start deep under the roof on a blocky hold with your feet on the slab. Reach out to the obvious hold on the lower lip, and fiddle with various holds around the upper lip to establish your sequence for mantelling to the top. Lots of options at that upper lip, so do what works for you.

Start low on massive underclings and use left edges and right arete to reach a very tricky and balancey top out.

Stand start V6.

Locate a sloping hold above head level, near the diagonal crack on the left end of the wall. Start matching on the sloper, and traverse right along a line of newly cleaned slopers for 15-20' or so until you can turn onto a slab that faces west (behind

Arrowhead Arete

). Some variations have yet to be cleaned, and eventually this will be a nice wall to warm up on.

Begin on two okay crimps below the obvious sloper rail with a good left foot hold and a bad right foot hold. Move to the rail, then mantel up, and utilize a small widening in the diagonal seam to reach the jug at the lip. Tp out straight up. Pulling off the ground is likely the crux. Also make sure to avoid the other boulder immediately behind you.

Stand start with your left hand on a good sidepull and your right hand on the arete. Slap your way up the arete, and finish with a committing topout up left.

Arrowhead Finger Crack is super fun if you like finger cracks. It's a little bit of a layback climb but with finger-locks nonetheless. Start as low as you can, and work up the wider crack using the ramp for feet when necessary.

Start on the awesome half-moon feature, and climb up the obvious crack that gets harder the higher you go. The topout is kind of awkward but all there.

This is fun and probably climbed dozens of times by people messing around in the

Arrowhead Arete

area (like I was when I climbed it). Start on the trail on an obvious, blocky hold. Climb the arete avoiding those huge jugs over the lip on the slab while focusing on the obvious interesting and good holds right along the lip the hole way to the top.

I didn't have a brush with me when I climbed this. Sorry if it's a bit dirty.
