Stand start on low, wide holds at the base of the arete, on either side of the low lip of the boulder. Look for a right hand crimp on the wide right lip of the boulder, and a nice pinch on the wide left. Pull on and toss up to the nice juggy arete corner above. Finish as per magnum.

Derek Zoolander's Problem for Kids Who Can't Climb Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

Mugatu Mono

This line is "Derek Zoolander Problem" or DZP for short... Named after the ridiculous scene from the Zoolander movie about the "Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too," this problem is a great climb for everyone.  

  To the left of the "Magnum" roof, find the huge jug and climb right following more good holds to finish as per "Magnum" and "Le Tigre" for the top out.

Look left of the Zoolander Warm-ups where the close block drops off and the the roof picks up again.

 Just below where the close block dropps off, sit start on a left hand edge and a right hand side-pull edge. Work up and trend right toward better holds and continue to the top out.

Walk through the narrow corridor to the left of the main Zoolander Face and directly on the otherside it opens up again. All along the next face in front of the large close tree are great warm-ups.

Start matched in the pocket and finish as per (sit).

At the low edge of the boulder, locate the massive pocket with a tiny pocket in its center. Under the pocket, the boulder is steeply undercut. Find the long lug slash in the back, and sit start matched here.  

  Trend right to the flake crimp rail, and climb into the pocket at the lip. Mantle over the lip with the help of the left, higher two finger pocket and even higher holds and crimps. Finish with an easy top out. 

  Walk off the back and return to the front face via the split between the boulders.

Sit start far under the overhung center in the deep slot (as per Ambi-Turner sit) but break out to the left to a tough pinch. Fall into an undercling, and blast out to the lip. Work left to the nice arete ridge and follow jugs to the juggy top out.

To the far right of the boulder, just before the split between the boulders, look very low to the ground for the long rail/ledge splits. Sit start on the smaller cut-out three finger flat that is along the right facing sidepull (right hand), and a hard to see slot for your left... Basically whatever you can reach with your butt on the pad. 

  Reach up to a very thin crimp rail, and then out left to the sloper, left facing side-pull triangle. Manage the perfect, very shallow mono and hike up onto thin feet. Pounce to the jug slot and top out.

This long, nice sized, steep-to-slab boulder is pretty great. Several lines with a broad grade range make this an awesome stop!
