Climb into the little left facing dihedral until you can reach a hold far up and right, then reach into a seam with holds in it and highball it out. Harder than it looks.

Climbs an angled, overhanging dihedral with great holds to a high, cruxy finish. A variation finishes out on the arete over rocks to the left. A sit down start brings the grade to about v7 with the straight up finish. This is probably the best route at the area.

This is the difficult line up the center of the boulder's west face. A difficult start on orange rock leads to more small holds and an awkward finish. It is possible to sneak an easier start by coming in from the left.

This "warm-up" climbs the bulge to the left of the Mainline. Pull up into an undercling with your feet on the slab below, and stretch up over the bulge for a good two hand crimp. Crank to hidden down pulling crimps over the lip and highball it to the top. There are a couple sucker holds that make this problem seem much harder than it should. Yeah its sharp....but get used to it...these are the warm-ups.

Sit start with left hand side pull and right hand sloper. Work through crimps and slopers to the stand start, finish straight up for full value. Adds some interesting movement. 

This problem climbs a beautiful, steep feature on small, sharp and powerful holds before reaching a committing top out. You will need callouses or tape and plenty of pads for the bad landing. This is a proud send.

The Exhumer is a nice tall problem that tackles a wave-like overhang with your feet overhead. Climb into an undercling, and then a two-handed edge, and then do a blind huck over the lip of the overhang to a jug. Locate more huge jugs to the left and top out.

Climbs the seam to the right of the Prow. Highball with a bad landing. Crux is down low but you can't let your guard down til you are way up.

Viet Springs is the original "Peaks" bouldering area located on the San Francisco Peaks. Viet Spring trickles from a short andecite cliff that is shrouded by massive aspen trees. The boulders are scattered beneath the wall. This is a gorgeous area that sees little climbing traffic, but is very popular amongst hikers on summer weekends. The rock can be sharp at times, but there are several classic problems here. Developed around 2000 by BLIMP and others. Not a winter area, but a great place to escape the summertime heat.
