Sit start with the left hand low on the suspended arete, and the right hand on a knob for your thumb. Get a left foot on and pull off the ground. Make a hard toss up left hand to a decent spot on the arete. Bump the left hand and figure out what feet you want in order to make a big toss up right hand to a two finger crimp knob. Once here get a left foot jug and continue up the right leaning fin-like arete on improving holds. Super fun. The stand start is a great warm up.

One of the newest highballs in the Den!

Stand start under the large roof to the left of "Numb Thumb" on the large sloping horizontal crack. This horizontal is found between the roof and the pedestal the roof sits on. Using the slabby pedestal for feet, reach out to the lip of the roof. Match the sloping lip of the roof before making a long move to a jug meat-wrap low on vertical rail feature. After taking a foot cut, swing up a foot and figure out how to get on top of the boulder utilising the large rail and a calm head!

 

An awesome highball slab. Start on the large horizontal rail, establish onto the slab then make you way up to another large horizontal half way up the wall. Once here, make a long reach to a good sloping edge for the right hand and then lock it off to better holds and jugs up and left.

Star under the roof of the boulder on a sloping horizontal rail. Find some options for feet and figure out how to spin around to jugs on the arete before finishing up with some compression and a somewhat tricky topout.

This is a fun climb that teaches the fundamental of heel hooking in the direction of travel, a foot-first traverse!

 Sit start matched on some good crimps on the right arete, pull on and make a powerful move up to some good slopers, then start traversing leftwards, at some point swinging the feet out left in the direction of travel may prove useful! Once the far left is reached, mantle the short boulder and grab some jugs!

Start on the pedestal below the boulder, reach for the good crimp on the lip, then follow the sloper lip out right to the jug top out above the jug.

This is a great lowball lip traverse that supplies the Den with an easy warm-up that also doesn't require a plethora of pads!

 Sit start matched on the left side lip of the short boulder. (Just left of the mud puddle!) Pull-on and make a series of fun moves on large holds until you reach the bulging apex of the lip before executing the crux top-out!

 This climb is great for beginners and experts alike.

 Yes, it does go campus as well!

Sit start in the mud puddle matched on a bad sloper-crimp rail. Somehow find the positioning and friction required to get your butt off the ground a huck for the slopers at the lip. Core up and keep the feet up before traversing right to the apex of the short boulder before mantling.

Sit start matched on the leftside of the sloping lip of the boulder. Pull onto the wall and make a few hard moves out right over a sketchy landing before continuing the traverse around the corner and mantling on juggy slopers.

Sit low and climb left up on the arete to highball topout.

Start the nice overhanging arete by awkwardly sit-starting on another rock. Pull onto the arete and make a few fun moves up before making a hard compression move out left to some slopers and then execute a committing topout. 

 A fun line that is a beginner version of "Numb Thumb".

This is a short boulder problem with incredible rock quality. Large smooth shelves and friendly pyramid-shaped pinches. Sit start in the pit matched on a large shelf. Pull on and move up to a pyramid before reaching for jugs at the lip. A tight but rather fun line that is worth checking out.

This is a giant boulder found on the hill to the right of the Ashes to Ashes and Bridge of Immortals Area. The area also contains several smaller boulders located around the large one.
