Loads of Fun is a tall and frightening problem with awesome moves on perfect stone. It involves loading up two undercling crimps, with high feet on insecure smears, and deadpointing for a good, outward pulling sidepull. If your feet skate, you're in for a big awkward fall. If you stick it, pull a couple easier moves to the top.

Nopinyon Arete

On a pillar-like boulder: climb the pretty, tall crack. The crux comes early on with a few thin-hands moves, and the difficulty quickly eases, though the commitment increases. Way fun.

Nopinyon Arete is a mega-classic problem that, until recently, was difficult to climb due to a large dead tree standing up against the boulder. The tree fell down sometime in the past several years, and now the arete is open for business. Bear hug your way up the right side of the arete until you can reach jugs for an easy top out.

This is a tall, rectangular boulder just north of the Gerdame/Alien Baby Boulder (the giant one, visible immediately off the trail). It contains about 6 established problems.
