Probably the most striking route at the swamp. It climbs a thin vertical finger tip crack that has a horizontal sloping crack at ten feet. Start on the huge obvious flake and climb directly up pulling the bulge.

Climb the short crack to the right of the Tongue. If it were taller it would be more worthwhile. 

Starts matching on small crimp rail. Smear some feet and get up to next crimp rail. Hand foot match. Stand up to flake/crack.

Start at left end of crack system. Left hand on big jug and right hand in the crack. Work your way up the crack system and top out whenever you cannot continue up the crack any further.There is a problem that works the entire length of the crack, with hands only in the crack-system to the very end. It has been sent. Not sure on the grade.

Sit start on the lowest shelf. Move through shelves to Zoidberg’s undercling tentacles out left.  Instead of bailing out left to the crack move straight up along the arete and top out. Top is a little dirty but doable. Cool features. Exit off to the right.

A rad and logical line. Start on the obvious sloper shelf, move directly up via crystals and a hard mantle move. 

A slightly overhanging sloper arete. Start from a sit on the far right end and work left. The top out was less than stellar but the arete moves were good.

Start left hand in ledgey jug and right on crimp inside of the crack. Find your feet. Throw a tall right hand up and to the lip. Work your way through some jugs to top out.

Would be much better, if it wasn't for the tree. It is still climbable and enjoyable, so I figured I would post it. Start at the far right side with hands in the crack and traverse the crack from right to left. Crux is getting around that tree without dabbing it. Top out after you get around the tree.

Start the same as Tree House/Humunga but traverse across the slopey face to the right side arete. You could also start at Feathered and Wedged and traverse the whole boulder. Delicate and friction based. Fun for an easy one.

Start standing. Left hand will be by one of the drill holes. Right hand catches friction on a sloper (sort of).  If you don’t start in a specific way this may seem way harder than it actually is. Find your way up to micro crimps that help you gain the jug. The starting hold for Tree House is off but the left arete is on. Go straight up. Crux moves are low, the rest is a scramble.

Sit start on a nice pocket and whatever else feels good (there’s some options). Small ramp to left is off for feet. Head up the arete and top out to the right of the sapling.

Sit start left corner on a big jug. Move up and right to a nice fin. Top out on the slopers.

Start sitting directly below the water runoff. Move straight up to a tough mantle move. Finish the scramble up the gully. 

Sit start on a good hold and climb up and a bit left.

Sit start matched on the crimp rail at the lip. (might need two pads to reach it if you're shorter) Figure out how to pull on with limited foot options. Top out basically straight up using slopey rail features. As well as a couple good holds in the crack, that are good holds but were hard to use with available foot options. Not sure if this is new or not but was a fun and on nice rock.

Start somewhere sitting on the right end of the crack and head straight up to a mantle finish. 

Climb slab section of boulder to the left of the big crack. The crack/arête is off.  Using small crimps get to the top. Super quality rock and nice holds.

Start on two obvious chalked holds and your feet out right. Go up and slightly to the left. Topout

Short and sweet! Start matched on the same jug as for "Swamp Gas" but instead of heading right, go straight up.

Sit start on the good low jug. Work straight up the crack and top out.

Stand start matched in the large egg shaped dish. Work the sloper arete to the top.

Same start as Zoidberg on the low shelf. Move up to second shelf and then right to the hole. Head straight up to the right of the big dish. Top out.

Sit start the same as for Tales From The Cryptic. Move straight up using a sloper and the large hold out left. You can easily escape left but stay more on a straight line if you want more difficulty. 

Stand start at the big jug above your head. Move right to the peak of the boulder and top out. 

Start matched on the shelf. Move up through crimps trending left to a slopey top out. Commiting top makes it feel spicy.

Start low on right arete using jugs in the crack. Move up the arête using nice holds. Top out can either be on the face to the left or right through the big crack. Going left may be a bit harder. Good for warming up for the rest of the swamp routes.

Start on two very small crimps. Find an okay right foot and pull on. Move through a series of crimps and slopers to get to the top. Delicate.

Start matched on low jug with some good feet. Move up and left and follow arete to peak. You can exit early. 

Start on the same hold as Treehouse but instead of hitting the big flake/jug trend right up the slab to the very top ridge. Tall but very mellow.

Start matching on a good jug. Pull up from sit and work up on good holds to the scoop/dish like lip. Pull over the top. Way fun boulder problem that climbs super smooth.

Climb the tongue shaped feature. Serves as a good down climb as well. 

Same start as Solomon Seal Low but use the dish instead of the low fist jam.

Sit start on a big jug on the left arete. Move up on some good holds heading onto the left face. Mantle top out. Needs a bit more cleaning as things were frozen.

Sit start the crimp rail. Find the good jug at the arete, hold the swing and finish up on Novocain.

Start matched on the flake on the overhang. Move up with some nice holds to the lip. Move right to top out on good jugs. The flake is a bit chossy but seemed to be holding me pulling on it well. The rest of the route is on good holds.

Start right side of "Warped Wall". Static problem working seams to the top-out of this slabby boulder.

Stand start at the big flake with great holds. Gaston the thin vertical crack to gain the slopey horizontal feature. Move a bit right onto some crimps and top out.

Sit start on the left side of the boulder with a great left hand jug and right hand pod in the crack. Head out right to a series of decent holds then head up left along the sloped arete until you can get into the gully. 

Some might say this isn’t a boulder problem...  Nay I say to them!!  Unconventional but wicked fun. You must try this problem if you’re here. No reason not to. Get a running start and run up the big satellite dish shaped depression in the boulder.  Get as many steps in as you can before you slap some slopers and friction your way to the very top of the boulder. You’ll probably come sliding down the first couple trys. Looks easier than it is. Threw a v-easy grade on it but it could actually be harder...

Sit start at the base of the "Shark Tooth", with both hands on the rail. Move up from there and top-out.

This boulder can only be climbed in winter when the swamp freezes over. Climb the fist sized crack. Over before you know it. Okay only cause it looks cool. 

Start low matching on huge jug. Move up to big sloper rail. Follow the thin crack up and right using crimp(s). Sloper top out is the crux.

Start sitting using the super cool underclings. Head straight up over the lip using some crimps and slopers. Detached block is on as it still seems like part of the boulder. 

Cool looking boulder that looks like a refrigerator except the top isn’t square... Start as low as you can on either arête and work your way to the top. I found myself bumping right a couple times before moving my left. There’s a nice jug that’s a little blind that helps you pull up and over.

Short problem on a visually pleasing boulder. Start right hand on arete near “slide”. Left hand goes real low on lip by ground. Heel hook right. Move along keeping heel until you can get into the dish. Top out at the drill hole. Contrived.    Alternatively start matched on arete and move up until you can top at the drill hole. V0.

Nice cluster of boulders and small cliff faces situated by a swamp. Gritty granite like the rest of them. Some choss. Shaded by trees in summer and nice filtered sunlight in fall. For the sake of not having a ton of sub areas I’ve lumped a rather large area together for the ease of posting. The first boulder you come across I call the welcome boulder (Raby Soldier/Rock Garden). The next area is what I call the treehouse boulder (Tree House/Bologna Skins/Dishes). Heading out and keeping the stream on your left you’ll come across a collection of smaller boulders and exposed rock face. This is the actual swamp boulders (Novocain/The Fridge/Warped Wall etc). There is more rock out here to be explored, cleaned and climbed. A couple clean v6-v8 (or harder) projects await. Feel free to get on them. Everything here is open. I want things to be sent.  If it isn’t posted it hasn’t been climbed.  Joey Bag O Donuts and Kid Chamelon are tough to find as they’re set back and away from swamp a bit. Explore. There’s lots to see out here.  Potential for ice climbing here too.  I know nothing about that but there’s one cliff face about 35 feet tall at around a 60° angle that ices over thickly in the winter.
