On the back side of the boulder is a long, under-cut, steep face. On the climbers' left of the face, walk down and locate the deep in-cut jug hole. 

  Sit Start here matched in the massive hueco pocket jug. Pull two big moves directly out of the start and overcome the bulge. Once at the lip, pull delicate, balancy moves to top out direct.

Start as per (Fortunate Direct) but once in the nice huecos trend right. Make a big move to a sloper rail to then top out as per (Cogis Silver).

To the far left of the rear face look for the deep pit under the roof with amazing and interesting sandstone iron pockets and jugs above and out of the pit. Crawl into the pit and search at the base of the boulder for the very low underclings in the horizontal crack.  

  Start matched with good underclings in the low crack and move into the first bucket huecos. Trend up and slightly right following iron pickets and swirls. Gain the pocket and crimps at the lip. 

  Trend left at the lip only slightly to engage more thin slopers and iron ripples to top out directly over the start with a technical mantle

Cool but the thin crimps are a bit sharp. On the front face, find the separated, sharp-edged, leaning flake chunk. to the left of this are a series of low edges. Sit start on the low edges and climb onto the higher set about 3.5ft below the lip. Dyno to the lip and roll over.

On the blunt corner arete just to the left of Marshmallow  Slot.  

  Sit start on a jug at the base of the right side of the back of the boulder. Look for the long undercling shelf high up on the top face and the start jug is at the bottom of the boulder. 

  Sit start and move up into the higher pointed jug. Mantle up to use the undercling and sidepull to slab up to the finish.

To the far left of the front (trailside) steep short face. Find the good, slightly sloped chunk (to the right of "Impossible", to the left of "silver dyno). Start on this chunk and move to the good flat holds above. At the lip, move to the massive in-cut rail above for the top out.

On the rear, uphill roof face of the Silver Fortune Boulder.  

  On the right side of the roof face, look for where the roof drops down very close to the Ground. This line is lust left of this under the larger steep face. 

  Look for the very low positive sections of the low horizontal crack seam at the base of the boulder. Start matched in the undercling seam. 

  Toss up directly to pinches and gain a left hand gaston crimp just below the lip, and a right hand crimp on the lip itself. 

  Tackle the heinous mantle over the lip and continue directly up the slab to the easy top.

Dead center in the middle of the back, main, uphill-most face. To the right of "Cogi's" and left of "Marshanti" look for the deep steep overhung scooped out section. Find the very low, rounded undercling jug lobe to match start sitting.Follow flat pinches and round slopers to the dip direct above the start. At the lip, find a nice rail above, the set of crimps out left, and the side-pull in-cut at the top of the rail. Mantle straight up and out.

 Sit start on the lobes and reach up to the blocked corner. Use the corner and any small face holds to help you blast off high to the round ledgy goodness at the top. Top out.

Start even lower than the already low sit start for "Thermal Conductor". The starting left hand is a thinner, triangle crimp edge, and the starting left is a low sidepull crimp rail. Pop up into the diagonal crimp which is the start for "thermal Conductor" and finish as per.

When looking at the back roof of the boulder, this line can be found on the right corner. This is the smaller section of face in between the two corners of the boulder (to the right of the arete where the roof ends). 

  At the flat face, look for the deep diagonal pocket/slot which is part of the line. 

  Sit start with a right hand on the chunky side-pull and left hand deep under the boulder on a very very low undercling pinch. 

  Reach up to a flat side-pull, then right hand into the slot. Climb up to top out direct on jugs.

To the left of the front face, sit start at the base of the flake/crack feature. Climb to the top of the feature and top out. Short but fun!

Start below the chunk (read "Thermal High") on a thin, sharp crimp for a left hand, and a lower sidepull for your right. Move into the chunk and finish as per "Thermal High".

Sit start and work up following the arete. Good holds and feet guide you to the tall top. Make sure and bring plenty of pads for the rough landing.

This short, long boulder has steep faces all around, several fun problems and good landings.
