Stand start in a large dish shaped hold and traverse to the left up an obvious diagonal seam, the top out is the same as Classic  V2 Arete

Diagonal

Astroglide

Milken

When Metal Ruled the World

Jay's Arete

B.A.M.F

Road to Riches Traverse

Blood Diamond

Astroglide follows the arete just left of the tree. Sit start on good holds, hit a few edges and top out up and right, staying left of the tree throughout.

Stand start on the far right side and climb straight up to the lip.

Climb the line just left of the juggy flakes of the V2. Compression and some small holds.

Stand start on arete and climb straight up and top out.

Climb thin crimps straight up the the tallest part of the face.  Make a committing throw for the lip and press it out.

Traverse across the vertical face. Can be linked into just about any other problem on either face.  

  Awesome if you link it into the classic V2 arete.

Tall, obvious line following the juggy flakes up and left of the arete.

In the middle of the steep face, left of When Metal Ruled the World, is the hardest line on the boulder. Blood Diamond starts on a decent sidepull and nearby dish. Careful with the crack, it likes to eat stuck pinkies. A couple strong core/crimp moves lead to the crux dyno.

One of the biggest and best granite blocks in the state with a variety of problems to offer.
