Few moves but still a powerful classic. For a lot of people the crux will be getting established on the wall. Start matched on the slopey breadloaf pinch and make just two moves to the top.

Vise Grips

Ugly Duckling

Battle of the Shadows

Duck Tails

No More Mr. T   aka   Fryberger's Dyke

Yes, traverses are contrived... But this is perfect and obvious link-up. Sit start on the Ugly Duckling and ride the very slopey rail into Vise Grips. Cool conditions and pinch strength needed. Not sure what name Chuck came up with.?

Excellent problem! Great warm-up or makes for a thrilling project. Sit start on right facing sidepull, head up and slightly right for a big finish move.

Fun line with huge deadpoint spans for the crux. Start in horizontal seam just right of V4/5, NE corner of boulder, directly beneath nice looking jug at 6'/7' high that is usually chalked. Slap out left to arête then straight up through small bulge.

Start in the low right horizontal crack and do a few easy moves left. Reach up for a left hand crimp, use a toe hook to get the right hand and go up the boldge. Don't know the name or who has FA. One of the better problems on the bolder imo so thought it should be shared.

This is one of the main Chopping Block boulders with it's perfect height, flat landing, quality rock, and easy approach (though that last one goes for all of chopping block).
