How the hell do you grade this?To the far right side of the main face, to the right of Saber and Pterodactyl, find the big downward pointing lobe that is below the massive "ball" dropstone. Stand start matched on the poing with a kneebar underneith (you'll really want a knee pad).Pull on matched and controlled. Reach up to the huge, smooth ball dropstone, then work your way up the arete to top out.

Bar-Knee

Saber-Toothed

Jurassic Park

Pterodactyl

Fifty Percent Chance

Triceratops

Sit start on the same feature as Saber, but after the first move trend right through the underclings and features on the upper face. Work right to top out as per "Bar-knee".

Too Good. 

  Sit start to the right of the close tree on left side of the blocked low roof ledge. On the flat face of the blocked feature look for the deep crimp in the seam. To the right of that will be another crimp. Sit start here and use a heelhook to get you to the overhead jug. 

  Work up to the amazing loaf ledge. Hit the deep jugs that follow and continue past jugs to the easy as pie top. 

Really good but also really heady. Climb lightly on those flakes.Find the lowest part of the high flakes (would be cool to sit start the lower underclings) with a deep jug undercling and the crimp above. Traverse right with underclings, then move to the higher undercling jug. Continue up to top out next the the big dead tree.Go ahead and knock on those massive flakes. They are clearly very hollow and might break. I rappelled in, kicked them and pull on them as hard as possible. Nothing moved or flexed. Two of us sent and it seems solid, but travel lightly.

On the steeper back side of this boulder find the left-most steep corner arete. Sit start low with a left hand in a pocket and a right hand on an opposing crimp rail. 

  Blast up to a distant left sidepull and stab for a right two finger pocket. Follow crimps and thin crimp-pockets to a juggy and fun top-out.

So much fun! 

  On the big main face, walk to the far left side of the boulder. At the far left, next to the low block next to the Dino boulder, look for the massive shelf flake feature and below this you will find a high in-cut deep pocket/jug. 

  Start right handed in this, left hand lower on whatever, and post up a foot. Dyno up to the massive flake jug, and follow up with easy jugs to the juggy top.

Dino boulder is big, awesome, and full of problems. 

  Tall, featured, and not to be missed.
