Sit down start on the sharp edge under the low angle slab. Traverse from right to left all the way around the edge (V0 variation-top out before rounding the corner). The V1 top out requires some tricky footwork.

Start on good holds and go up on crimps and a couple good finger pockets. Not very evident at first, but they are there!  

  The problem was established as V0, but some holds look broken. May be a V1 now?

Starting match on the large lip feature to the left of The Mantel. Traverse the lip right to the Yashapoopee top out with a few holds on the lip and using toe and heel hooks. Easier to not use the holds on the face. A semi unique overlooked problem. Footwork is the key to this problem.

Find the flat matchable horizontal edge just below the lip on the North side of the boulder. Make one move to a sloper, get your feet established and get on top. A good problem to finesse your mantel skills. 

Start on Grandpa Smith, make a big move out right to the fat pinch. Bump your left hand up a couple moves, and then right to a very hidden but positive crimp on the face high above the right hand pinch. Pull to the lip from there. Decent contrived line. 

Climb the thin vertical crease to the left of Grandpa Smith. Start sitting down using the obvious hand shelf. Move your left hand to a pinch and then your right hand to another shelf. From there climb several small pockets and then a big move to the top.

East face of the Smith boulder. Good crimpy holds, perhaps hard to see from the bottom, but very obvious as you start going up.

This is a great problem that starts on Yashapoopee's and finishes on Mantel. This problem takes a lot of core as you are trying to find the perfect body position to get past the crux. The crux is right after the topout of Yashapooppee's when then problem starts to angel down. You can move through a sequence of heel hooks or use bad feet on the face. After Yashapoopee's, you will be on slippery slopers.

This is the largest boulder in the Smith Family group. The rock has some interesting colors and faces and is a great warm up for harder boulders further up the slope.
