Jesse Cheers with the vision.On the front face, to the far right side, this one starts at the diagonal ramp a few feet left of the base of the overhung arete and climbs up the beautiful tall slab face direct.Stand start with your left hand on the big ramp and right hand on the chest high rail. Quest up the techy, adventurous high slab to top out.

Walk up to this boulder and this is the prominent, sharp, "boat keel" arete on the very front. Stand start with hands above the hateful band of pebbles (left hand undercling in the iron bubble, right hand on the small crimpy pockets. Climb up the arete and top out through the small dihedral.

Left of Chestnut Arete look below the neat-o huecos for the low line of underclings. Stand high on the pebble ledge and cross high over the underclings to the high juggy pocket. Continue to more pockets and a nice rail onward to the lip to top out.

Walk left from "Snake Farm" several feet and before the big blocky shelf find the low dimpled ripples. Find a low right hand gaston pocket, and a low left hand pinch. Use the in-cut diagonal roof rail and cross up left hand to the diagonal edge. Dyno right to the slopey pocket. Hang on through a crimp and get to the upper left finger bucket. Trend a bit left to easier terrain and finish through "Easy One" to top out.

A classic. Walk around the back of the boulder past Chestnut Arete and pass the first close tree. Stand start low just past and beside the tree on two low edges in the nice folds of sandstone. Move up to another edge and toss high to the good rail and match. Toss high again to a jug and then work up high to the two long, diagonal rails. Top out above.

On the far left of the main rear face (a few feet left of "The Acorn") look for the big blocky ledge. Start low on the left end of the ledge and follow good hold up past a crimpy corner to top out high. 

One of the most stunning pieces of stone you'll encounter. Broadside to the road, the left side terminates at at sharp overhung prow. The back face is a long overhung wall of goodness, and the left-most end of the boulder sports a blank huge face with two proud aretes and wonderful lines and terrain along each.
