Star to the right of the handrail in a chimney dihedral with a hand crack that meets up with the corner of Rob's Arete midway jug. Gain the jug and balance around left to the handrail that traverses downward and left. Once you are across the twenty feet of horizontal climbing is done, unless you reverse the problem for some endurance laps.

Knob Goblin'

Stand start on this stellar boulder with cruxy moves near top. Hard start to finish. Lunge at top to crimp hold. Sequential.

Goes up the center of the Knob Goblin' face, starting below the water-rut, and using the holds in the rut and on the cleaner faces, go up.   

  Nard Garglin' has lots of holds, but most of them aren't very good.   

  Reachy moves a-plenty, or slopey ones.

Rock quality down low is mediocre, while up high is fairly poor. Problem was recently done with a snowy top out so currently the problem cuts right to stand inside the scoop high right near the tree.

climb the weakness on south side. exit via horizontal crack to right. i dont recommend touching anything above the crack, but do as you will. lots of contrivances exit here.

This is a nice short near vertical smear that used to be about 15' taller, as with  most of the problems in the canyon. It is short but sweet. The crux is at the take off.

Rock On! starts at the center of a face that is pretty clean except for some funny heuco-things that form what reminds me of a bunny in the center of the face.  This feature serves as the start for both this problem and Country Rock.   

  The rock below the start hold is On! 

  Rock On! moves straight up from the start holds mantles a high right foot.  Its the easiest problem (I suspect) on the Rock Rock. 

  The rock above the mantle is pure choss, so mantling is highly recommended rather than pulling on the choss.

This problem starts on the left(low) side of the handrail by way of a bouldery mantle move to gain the continuous handrail ledge. Once your feet are on the handrail, begin the dainty traverse to the right with good feet and bad hands. The crux is keeping it together as you get higher off of the deck until you exit at Rob's Arete top out.

Rock Off climbs the arete left of Rock On! and joins it for the mantle.  Both the detached rock that serves as the start foot for Rock On! and the detached face left of the Rock Rock are off.   

  Start on poor holds on the arete and make a balancy move the better features that are located above the top of the left face.  From here, grab some small holds left of the arete and move up to join the Rock On! mantle.   

  Starting on holds above the top of the left-hand face is probably V2-, but still fun.  The other rocks are still off. 

  Both versions of Rock Off have good movement (3 stars) but the fact that the rock left of the arete is off detracts from the overall quality.

Low feet spanning the arete off of a shallow left crimp and a decent right crimp. Left foot up on the arete, slap up with the left hand, or, if you're taller gun for the rail. Once you hit the rail, it's over. Watch the top-out though - it's a little loose and needs cleaning. Sit-start variation goes much harder, maybe V5.

A fun line starting with and undercling leading to a sequence of crimps and finally a cruxy move getting your feet over the bulge. Top out with an easier mantle. I am horrible at rating boulder problems so V1 is just a guess. Also, any FA or other information is appreciated.

Start on a low undercling on the right side of the Knob Goblin' boulder (aka Waterfall Boulder).  Move straight up and over the roof, avoiding the arete on the right.  Continue through long moves straight up, and top out.   

  Very fun dynamic movement but somewhat contrived: both the featured water rut to the left and the arete to the right are off.

Start matched on a chest-level ledge, high left hand to a narrow crimp, work up and to the right to get a decent pocket in the center of the face. Slopers abound above, as does some loose rock. Several reach-dependent variations exist, but either way, the slopey top-out is the crux.

far right arete. start on right side. several big lunges then exit left. some times there are toads in second jug.

Starts the same as for Rock On! (Yes, the detached rock is on for your feet.)  But move straight right for a much more difficult mantle.   

  Choss abound on this one, maybe it'll pick up another star as it cleans up.

This is a nice little north facing boulder with three decent moderate lines to be had, (left, center, and right). The right side is the easiest and the cruxes are off the ground.

Ascend the left arete of the Knob Goblin' face.  The 'Goblin' is a pattern on the patina-covered face on the right side of the start.  It might be useful to be high to pick out the goblin.  Use the good knob in the water-rut to avoid barn-door.  Good and balancey.

Located in the Pueblo Canyon wash near North Road, Pueblo Canyon features high-friction tuff that is in many places choss.  Where it is not choss, there is generally fun, slopey, movement with sandy landings. 

  The area has seen a bit of a revival of late.  It was originally explored by Luke Laeser and company in the late 80's but recent activity by Miguel Hoffman, Colin McFarland, Shibli Fazal, Rob Hilko, Scott Beguin, Jason Hundhausen, Nate McDowell, and I think Ken Kisiel, and a couple more people - including myself, has brought the area back into local consciousness. 

  The area features many holds, so it is good for contrivances.  There are obvious lines, but something harder is probably nearby.
