Freezer Full of Rotten Meat, 6B

On a little boulder facing the uphill side of "The Giant" boulder. Sit-start on two large edges below the lip on the left side of the boulder. Move up to the lip, then rightwards on slopers, a sharp crack-jug, and a crimp or two. Trickier than it looks!

Evan's Seven, 7A+

Sit-start matched on left-facing edge. Move up and left to a cool, mini-blob pinch. Continue up (and slightly right) to the peak of the boulder using edges and slopers. Top out the right side of the peak. (FA Evan Erickson)

Echo Echo, 6B+

Sit-start matched on a right-facing sidepull on the left side of the face. Reach up and left to an edge and a fun lip encounter. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)
2

Flying Fox, 6B

Sit-start using mini-jug. Climb up and slightly left on crimps to gain a good edge high on the face. From here, exit directly above via hidden, sloping dishes, or reach/jump to a jug far out left. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)
3

Energy Returned over Energy Invested, 6B+

Sit-start using the same start hold as "Flying Fox". After the first crimp on that problem, head up and sharply right via a sidepull and little undercling. Using either the lip/arete up and right, or a long reach off the undercling, gain a face jug, the horn on the lip, and tricky mantle to finish. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)
4

Darkness Falls, 6B

Sit-start using the long edge on the right side of the boulder. Reach left to the prominent sidepull, then head up to the prominent notch in the lip above. With difficulty, use this to gain the good sidepull in the corner above. Topout by highstepping and rolling onto the slab. WAY harder than it looks. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)
5

Tall Club, 6C+

With a hand low on each arete, compressing the boulder, sit-start the face the climber in the picture is looking at. Slap your right hand along the arete/lip until you can gain a couple of cool jugs at the peak of the overhanging face. A tricky topout with a bad landing awaits. (FA Mark Derksen, 2014)

The Left Hand of Darkness, 6B

Sit-start matched on sloping shelf (use any edges on the shelf). Pull to an edge above you, then rockover to a small sidepull way out left. Top out direct.
2

The Right Hand of Darkness, 6B+

Sit-start as per "The Left Hand of Darkness", but head up and right, through small edges and crimps.

Jumping Jurrassic Fat, 4

V0. Sit start near middle- right of face, on obvious crimp features. Ascend direct to slope-y mantle over karst.
2

Justin's Jeté, 6A

V2. Sit start under arete-ish feature, left of true arete. Left hand on incut crimp, right hand on slopey pinch. Traverse left through obvious line of sloping crimps, staying below the line of karst-y jugs above, all the way uphill,to turn the arete. (FA: Dan Anhorn, Trent Hoover & Kyle Marco, 2017)
3

Monkey Wrench, 6A+

V3. Sit start just left of arete, left hand low on incut side pull, right hand high on back pulling jug/pinch. Move up onto the slab to meet up with Dimetrodon's finish. (FA: Dan Anhorn & Trent Hoover, 2017).

Dimetrodon, 5

V1. Sit start in hidden pit, left hand on one of two slopey jugs, right hand on hidden undercling. Tension up big holds to avoid dabbing the pit walls, through the dihedral, to a fun feature to top out.
