Awesome little line.  Definitely worth doing if you're in the Roadside Boulders.

Surfs Up

Start on the massive jug at about eye level.  Move up from here towards the top.

Scramble up face of small neighboring rock. Good hand and foot on arete, stay left of it and with some brief smearing a good hold is gained for a final smear to top out.

 A nice easy route with different style (slab) than those nearby. A fall would be unpleasant but is unlikely

Some fun thin face climbing.  This side of the boulder still has some choss on it, which is rare for this area, so be mindful. Still a fun line though.

Stand start matched on a crimp under the overhung part of the boulder. Make a move out onto the south face onto Welcome to the Dark Sides holds and top out from there. 

This is the first boulder in the Roadside Bouldering area. Really good rock, but sharp. Gets sun all day, and can be windy.
