Start seated with right hand on a right facing edge and left hand on a down-left facing edge on the left side of the face. Conjure your way up the face. This problem gets the color blue in the guidebook, which most often tends to be somewhere between V3 and V5. I haven't done this thing, but I think it might be somewhere around V5. Chime in with your opinion on the grade

Left Face

Center Face

Electric Lady

Shelf to Arete

Right Face

Slab Variations

Start seated low on the right side of the boulder's back face and move up through the xeno to the top. Super cool

Center face is a great climb. Start matched on the gigantic undercling and use either brute force or physics to climb up and right, eventually connecting with the arete near the top. Can be tricky if you  aren't comfortable smearing.

Just remember:

"Friction Force" = "coeff. of friction" x "Normal Force"

You can't do much about the coeff. of friction, so it's up to you to use the gigantic undercling to make the normal force (force perpendicular to the surface) big enough to keep your feet on the wall! No better problem with which to put theory into practice!

Super fun problem. Start low on the shelf on the left side of the electric lady face and climb up along the right side of the arete. Mind your footwork

Climb the left arete to the slab variations starting right hand in a crack high overhead and finishing straight up. a jug halfway up threatens to break, be mindful of that possibility when you use it

These are referred to as the downclimb from the boulder, but there is definitely an easier/safer way. Nonetheless, climbing this face of the boulder worthwhile for a little bit of easy slab climbing
