This route is the warm up on the boulder and probably the only route that can honestly be called a warm up for most people. Walk around the back of the boulder (not facing the pond) and once you cross the brook it is the shelfy blunt arete. The crux is the top out because the reach is long and the holds are only OK.

Start standing with your hands in a thin crack get a good right foot and a very tiny left foot reach up left for a semi good crimp bring your right foot up higher to another good hold then bring your left to a crappy little foot hold dyno up to a small crimp get a good hold and reach for the arete hold which is like a nose then reach for the top with your right hand get your right foot up on this huge shelf and mantel to the top

Start on the arete where the stream runs under the boulder move right through the seem passing crimps and move to the slopey top out. The top out is the crux by far which requires a long move to a crimp and then rocking over using a heel hook. The route gets it name from the first ascentionist doing a barrel roll for the top out. 

  The top out is committing and should be padded and spotter well.

This route is a really fun traverse. On the side of the boulder that faces up hill is a horizontal crack that eventually goes down to small crimps. Start all the way right on this crack and traverse to the sharp arete that points out to the pond, this is also where and resemblance of the crack disappears. That's where this route ends. 

  (project work up arete at end of the crack)

Sit start on a slopey jug with a heel hook reach hard for a semi good crimp role your heel and and bump up to a decent sloper get good feet and go up to some good jugs at the top there is a huge juggy rail get that look for good feet and get the final crimp and rock over the top 

  There are two cruxes on this one I think. 

  The first one is pulling up and getting the first two holds  

  The second is getting the top out

Start in lowest of three horizontals, then work your way up the face using each horizontals. The physical crux is establishing yourself in the upper most horizontal. However, the mental crux is the top out if you dont find the good edge over the lip.

Granite boulder at the base of some slabby cliffs. There is a small stream that runs under/around it next to the first pond you come to. Also right next to a beaver dam (hence the name). The rock is solid but a little crumbly in places. 

  A lot of potential for more problems
