Start with hands in the crack and feet on the low large hidden hold. Move up the crack for a couple of feet then out left across the face on small crimps. Pull around the arete, and head up the slab to the top. Crux is definitely moving left on small holds. The best way off this boulder is down climbing “Glorified Jobs Program” on the far side, so make sure you're comfortable with that before committing.  

Glorified Jobs Program

What is it Good For

Edwards Air Force Waste

Start with a good kneebar and right hand crimp. The rock is rough so a knee pad would be well warranted but since it’s the first move a folded up shirt or jacket worked fine for me. The crux is getting feet established above the undercut. The landing is excellent. This is the easiest way to get down from any of the other problems.

Best problem on the boulder. Start with hands in the crack and feet on the low large hidden hold. Move up the crack until it fades. The crux is transitioning’ from here to the larger higher crack. Follow the higher crack back left and around the arete to top out on the slab. I think this is the most obvious line on the boulder. A bit high, but the top half is much easier and you can step off the crux easily. A good one to work. The best way off this boulder is down climbing “Glorified Jobs Program” on the far side, so make sure you're comfortable with that before committing.

Head up the crack that leans to the right. Mid section is the hardest, but no standout crux move.

This is a large boulder with problems on almost every side. Good landings for most of the problems.
