This climb starts with some underclings in the cave, works up the right face, and uses the 6 foot boulder as well as the main boulder. Climb up and onto the small 6 foot boulder till your get on top. All feet and hands are on.

Merry Go Round

Swing Set

Ralph's Run

Teeter Totter

Bump and Slide (True Grit)

This climb is to the right when looking at the main face of the boulder. It is on the overhanging section of the boulder. Start on the crimp rail, and make your way up to the jugs.

 Full beta: you start with a crimp rail at approximately 4 feet off the ground, and go up left to another crimp. Next, move your right hand to a jug and another jug to follow. Topping out with your back to the road and leaning to the left is easier than topping out on the right face.

 This climb could have an alternate start low for V5 ish climb.

 This climb could just be a dyno to some jugs.

Start with your butt on the ground in the cave utilizing a toehook on an arete. Travel up cave holds until you can blast out left to the jug on the arete. There is a crux mantel. Bring at least 3 pads!

This climb goes up main face (the road to your back.) The start is on the left jug around waist height. The first move is going around the arete up to some crimps followed by some big slot jugs toward the top. Top out just after some jugs.

Bump and Slide begins with a low start on the large jug right under the arete. Traverse up and left until you get to the top.

 Spoiler beta: full beta: begin with a low start on the big, obvious jug under the arete right where you happen upon the boulder. Go up with your right hand to a solid sloped hold and your left hand out left to one of the three slot holds. Continue using all the slot crimps as you progress up and left. Once you near the top, there is a great jug just before the topout. There are some decent holds on the top just past the jug.

This boulder is right off the road. It has 3 main faces with good climbs ranging from V0 to V6+. The left face V6+ is full of crimp rails, the front face some low rails up into some jugs, and the right face has assorted other climbs. From left to right, you can find "Bump and Slide (True Grit)," V6+; "Teeter Totter," V4;" Swing Set," V3, in the overhang; and "Merry Go Round," V0, in the cave. *Edit: Mistakenly had this boulder labeled as Balance Boulder, after looking at a map, that is actually the name of another boulder further to the the north.
