The slab facing Lamar and Reading Rainbow is fun, clean, and smeartastic. It's a nice first warm up for the body on a cold day.

Begin on a right-facing jug on the left side of the Bad Genes Boulder.  Move up the corner on good holds to an awkward but easy topout.  Really a pretty good problem.

To the right of Roll the Dice at the entrance of the Closet from the North Trailhead.

Sit start under the small roof on a jug

and then battle the bulge.

Despite the name, this is a very enjoyable problem and would make a great warm-up for anyone trying to send some of the harder problems in the Closet.  Climb the face using the arete with your right hand.  It looks like a SDS has been done which would make the problem quite a bit harder.

Start far right by the little tree, then traverse left and top out on the same part as pimp in jeans.

Located on the Rainbow Boulder, Reading Rainbow begins in two shallow pockets and makes one difficult move to another bad pocket before easing off.  A one move wonder but worthwhile if you're not ready to come out of the Closet.

This awkward and shockingly uninspiring boulder starts sitting in the spiny shrubbery, and works up and to the left on the arete feature. It's over before you know it.

A good warm up for the harder problems around here.

Start sitting on the far left side of the Pimpin Jeans boulder, and work yourself into an awkward mantle on the right side of the little prow. It's easier, less awkward, and similarly uneventful to finish by working up the ledges to the left (but then it's probably v0).

A fun little climb on good rock. Start sitting with your feet high and hands in the weird pockety structure. Establish yourself on the wall, and work your way up easy steps to the left. Finish straight up with a couple of smears.

It's not very tall, but it has a bad landing. This is not a hardcore v1, however, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just jump on it, and let the warm up begin.

Another great problem in the Closet circuit.

Start with your right hand on a decent sidepull/arete, and left hand on something small on the face, and work your way up the left side of the arete to the finish.

Start as for 'Pimpin' Jeans', but trend up and right on better holds.  Much easier top-out than 'Pimpin'.

The best problem to start on when you come to this area. Start standing and work up the big holds to the easy finish. It's a little spooky since the biggest holds halfway up are hollow, but they've survived a while now, so maybe they are more solid than they sound.

Climb straight up the dimpled face. Ultra technical and a little spooky. Bad landing.

Start left on some rail then move up and top out on small crimpers in the middle.
