SLS Boulder:

 A beautiful climb and one of the park favorites.

 Under the SLS roof, exiting to the left:

 Sit start in the back of the aggressive roof on two jibs for hands, on the low portion of boulder 3.5 feet off the ground. move right to match a nice comfortable pinch block. from that block, trend left to a vertical pinch for a match. move left to a crimp, and link more crimps trending left out of the roof to gain a distant slot/jug. Reach the high knob and to top out through solid hands and feet.

S.L.S. Boulder:  

  Classic!  

  Shane Messer Climbed the First Ascent of this line in 2009, followed by Aaron James Parlier in August 2011,  and Matt Bosley claimed the 3rd ascent on Sept 13th 2012. 

  "S.L.S" starts far, low, in the back of the large, overhead, ominous roof.  

  Match hanging on the low rear ledge on the middle two "knobs" with a heel hook out right. Reach out to the first and then second pinches (same as "Nancy"). From the second slopey pinch, climb straight out of the roof to gain deep, thin mailbox slot using the small foot out right and a heroic amount of core.  

  From the slot, work up the short face to finish through jugs over the front face of the boulder.

This is a good problem to get all warmed up and "toasty" on.  

  S.L.S. Boulder  

  This line goes from the stand from the right side where the overhang isnt as severe and your standing in a "notch" in the boulder.  

  Work straight up through good jugs and fun moves to the straight forward jugs up top and a scramble up finish.

S.L.S. Boulder  

  This line goes from the stand from the right side where the overhang isnt as severe and your standing in a "notch" in the boulder. The lower detached ledges are on but you really dont need them.  

  Start with hands in low incuts and gain a deep overhead right hand slot. make a lengthy left hand stretch out to the big "SLS" slot out left at the roof.    Work through fun foot beta and a smaller crimp to bump into a higher jug (or just go big). Bump again to the top and work out a semi-challenging top.

 Nice work Joey! Start low with an undercling under the right side of the harsh overhanging SLS roof (to the far right side away from the hole connecting to The Pitfall Boulder). Using feet on the blocky section at the base of the boulder is proper technique. Move up to a tiny left hand jib and move with your right out to a slopey hand. Turn the jib into a worse undercling and make a powerful, lengthy, full stretch grab to a distant slot. Hang on to the slot and continue up and out the face to the "don't blow it" top out....

SLS Boulder  

  Walk to the far right of the main face of SLS, passing the roof. The tall slab to the far right of the main face is your destination for this awesome, fun, tall slab line.  

  Find the large undercling ledge and either sit, or stand start from here.  

  From the stand start, match underclinging the large ledge. Climb up in a direct line through rounded knobs, nice slopey jugs, and good crimps into the higher massive knobs up top.

 (Although easier than v1, you shouldnt do this one as a v0 climber due to the landing... could be a pretty bad fall)

A fun roof with a GHSP Classic. This 12 foot horizontal roof is over a good landing and directly beside the trail with a 4 minute approach from the parking lot.

 SlS Roof has edges, slots, and big beautiful pinches to travel across.

 Nancey With An E is one of the best V7s in the park. If you like steep pinch & crimp roof climbing, you're looking at the right place.
