Start standing with hands matched on a large right-facing jug. Traverse leftwards using holds at around 8 feet or lower (the top of the boulder is 'off') to gain the higher jug used on 'Short Story' and then finish as for that problem. A fun and tricky climb that gives climbers the opportunity to get a bit more climbing in than some of the other climbs.

Short Story

Due West

Start sitting/crouching with both hands matched on the obvious flat jug. Make a big move up to another juggy shelf and use it to gain the top of the boulder. Though a bit short, great rock quality and fun moves on friendly holds make this the likely best line on the boulder. 

Start crouching/standing as for 'Due West', with hands utilizing any of the obvious left-facing rails at 5 feet. Instead of heading straight up, make a big move rightwards to gain a right-angling rail feature and follow this rightwards to an easy top out. 

The east and north faces of the boulder offer up a number of possible slab climbs. All of these are pretty low angle which make them great choices for kids and newer climbers. You can also climb them without hands for an added challenge. 

Start standing with the left hand on a knob on the arete at around 6 feet. Climb the right side of the arete to a slopey topout. Cool movement, though a bit sharp. 

Start crouching or standing with hands utilizing any of the obvious left-facing rails at 5 feet. Make a long move to a good edge and continue upwards on improving holds. A bit sharp and a bit grainy, but that should clean up with more traffic. 

This small area offers up one worthwhile boulder with around 5-10 possible lines, depending on your level of creativity and/or interest in traverses and linkups. The boulder is around 10 feet tall, but offers up more climbing than the height might suggest. Most climbs are in the v0-v2 range, though it's possible to make up harder variations, eliminates and linkups.The ease of access makes this boulder a great choice for a short session. It's possible to climb all of these lines without a pad as the landings are sandy and free of rocks.
