Starting at the left arete, traverse right to a crimpy mail slot about head high in the center of the boulder.  Work diagonal right to a crimpy three finger pocket (unless you have sausage fingers, then maybe two).  Keep working up and right from there through a series of bad crimps before a big move to a bomber ledge.  From there pullup to the top and top out.  Crux begins after moving through the pocket, better to hit at the start of your day as the crimps can tear off some skin.

Middle Edge

The Cutting Edge

Sweet Dreams

Jail Bait

Start in the second letter box of the main birthday boulder problem, set up with high, poor feet, and think happy thoughts about dynoing to the lip,and not ripping off the top.

Start as for Sweet Dreams, but immediately move right, avoiding larger holds out left. Climb up through two distinctive tiny iron rings that form very sharp crimps.

Start in the middle of the boulder. Start in the lower letterbox and the make two moves to the second letterbox. Continue up to the left on a weird, pockety crimp. Get your feet up, and make a balancey cross-over with your right hand to a flake. Then a few easy moves to top out.

Locate the sharp line of edges up the left side of the boulder 5ft to the right of the arête. Follow these up and lunge for the jug.

Start on two small crimps below a three finger pocket. Climb straight up through crimps to the horizontal break for an easy topout.

Climb up good ledges & positive crimps on the right side of the Birthday Boulder. Topout can be a bit awkward, make sure to have pads & spotters below. Great, smooth route

Follow the awkward moves up the left arete and face to the top.
