Sit start the left side of the overhanging teardrop. Start with your left hand on a small knob and your right hand on a low, thin sidepull. Power up the steep arete, and top out. Beta will likely be different if you are short or tall, but the grade is pretty much the same regardless.

Free Flow (Stand)

Blackhole

Sit start in the hole formed by the west side of the boulder and an abutting rock. Use the good, 1 pad crimp on the face of the boulder and any other crimps  and feet you can to try to escape directly up to the arete. Then bump to the 2nd arete. The start takes a bit of creativity. I am 6’5”, but this problem could be significantly harder for shorter people.

Stand start with your right hand in the good slot and your left on a triangular pinch. Move left up the arete. The sit is an open project and requires using the small crimp below the slot which may bump the difficulty up at least a couple grades.

Teardrop Boulder is in a nice area near the Megatron Area with good potential.
