Start with your hands in the low horizontal below the obvious vertical crack/flake on the East face of the boulder.  Climb the horizontals and the crack to the top.

Start with your hands on a lip below the good horizontal (it is also possible to start a little lower on some edges in the low horizontal, but this doesn't add significantly to the difficulty or length of the problem), move your hands up to the big horizontal, move your feet and throw for the top of the boulder.  Holds on the left facing corner are off.

A little bit contrived?  Probably, but a good couple of moves none the less.  Start sitting with your left hand on the left facing side pull and your right hand in the low horizontal.  Get your feet off the ground and move up through the horizontals (one of which has a great crystal to pull on) to the mellow top-out above.

Start sitting with your hands in the low horizontal to the left of a black stain (feet left helpful), power up to good holds in the horizontal, climb the face and horizontals to top-out directly above the start. 

  The start and top-out provide the majority of the difficulty. For an even more beginner friendly variation, start standing with hands on the good horizontal 4 feet up and continue until hands are on the top of the boulder or top-out further right.

Start sitting with your hands in the low horizontal on the right side of the rounded arete (left heel hook helpful), power up to juggy holds on small ledge, continue up the arete and right face to top-out on pebbly holds. 

  The start and top-out provide the majority of the difficulty, but there is still plenty of climbing on this problem if they are eliminated. For an even more beginner friendly variation, start standing with hands on the good ledge 4 feet up and continue until hands are on the top of the boulder.

Start with your hands on the low horizontal (be careful it looks like this could rip off at any time-pull down on it not out).  Climb directly up the face from the start to the top-out.

Start with your hands in the low horizontal left and below the small roof, climb the horizontal and pinches to the top-out directly above.

Start with your hand(s) in the vertical crack below the bulging roof on the arete, get your feet off the ground and climb straight up to top out above.

Start with your hands in the horizontal slightly to the left side of the bulging roof on the arete, climb the arete to the top-out.  Be careful with the left facing flake on the left side of the arete.  It held my weight, but that's no guarantee that it won't come off next time.

The Lower Wawarsing boulder is not included in Greene and Russo's guide, but as the chalk marks and ticks indicate, this hasn't kept it from being regularly climbed.  Because of this, I don't have any information on problem names or first ascents.  Please inform me if I've turfed over someone's FA.  It's a matter of a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of respect. 

  Located in a nice bit of forest and well protected from car noise, the Lower Wawarsing boulder has a great concentration of varied V0 problems. That makes it a great warm-up/cool-down spot, and a great place for beginners to be challenged while having a taste of success to make them want to come back for more (a great place to introduce a girlfriend or boyfriend to bouldering).  The starts or top-outs are typically the most difficult aspects of these problems, so it's easy to eliminate crux or scary moves for beginners while maintaining the flow of the problem.
