From the southwest corner of the Riverside Boulder (The same boulder that hosts Kelly's Arete) Climb up and left then move out onto the face above the water.  Traverse the length of the boulder to the shore or topout near the northwest corner of the boulder.  Not great climbing but exciting even when the water is low.

Start with hands on the large, sloping ledge at the far left of the "Kelly's Arete" face.  Traverse right on pocket and small crimps with bad feet to the large ledge on "Fire in the Hole."  From there you can exit straight up, or (much more fun), link into "Kelly's Arete" mid route and finish on Kelly's.

Start in the lowest big hueco. Climb up and left to a slightly tough top out. There is also an easy traverse that starts here and goes left all the way to Chi V3.

Start Amtrak with an awkwardly high step, do a couple of easy moves on good feet, and commit to the tricky and scary topout. Be proud if you flash this thing - it feels pretty odd and a little insecure up there.

The grade is a point of contention, but I felt it was much more like v4, potentially v3, than the v2 it's given in Isaac's guide. Certainly much harder than The Angler, and harder than Chi.

Sit start under the roof, move up and right to join To Infinity.

Start matched on the crappy, slopy edge about 6 ft up. Make one hard move to a jug up left. Mantle and finish up the face.

AKA: High Tide.  I guess it depends on what time of year you climb it!

Sit down start on the lower left.  A series of slaps and tension moves to some underclings out right allow you to make your way up the arete to a fun topout.  Fantastic movement.

This problem can only be done in its entirety when the river is very low.

This is the easy traverse of the north face of the warm-up boulder. Use the variety of holds from ledges, to big slopers to an undercling, to travel the face. There's a pretty good footrail for the majority of the traverse as well. Recommend right to left, starting at the downclimb next to the small tree.

I enjoyed this a lot, and it can very much be enjoyed in it's own right.

Start on underclings, 3 feet to the right of Feels Like Grit. Climb small patina varnish crimps to finish same as Feels Like Grit.

Begin on a good ledge and pocket and climb straight up.

Climb straight up the face with a tricky, but simple mantle up top

Per Wikiboulder, start left hand on lowest part of large sidepull feature and right hand on a jug sidepull low on the arete. Climb up to slopey lip and traverse to top out at apex of boulder.

Some funky toe hook beta makes gaining the lip much less burly.

Sit start is called Boner Hill, v10 (FA Joe Meiners, 2012).

Carefully balance up limestone edges, and reach for the bomber holds. It's fun, but a little short.

Much better than Shit v4, which is to the left of it, K-Town is inexplicably the namesake for this boulder (which should probably be called the Angler Boulder). UPDATE - see comment below.

Just like it sounds, but more fun. Start just left of the Downclimb holds, and shoot up and left through the big holds to a tricky topout.

I swear, it looks like it's contrived, and going to suck, but it's totally worth it. It has good moves, and cool holds.

In roughly the middle of the face that holds To Infinity, you'll find a couple of rounded, big holds at about head height. For True Love, climb straight up. Fun, cool holds, clean, and good movement.

Start matched on a ledge about six ft up and climb straight up

Big holds, fun moves, clean rock, and a generous height make this a special v2. I thought it was better than The Angler, but this opinion is not shared by most. The topout is a little more cerebral than that of To Infinity, but not as technical as the topouts to the right.

One of the most aesthetic problems anywhere, this also is in contention for the best easy problem at Joe's Valley.  For most of the year the top of this problem is over the water, but the hardest moves are at the very beginning and can easily be protected by a crashpad.

SDS on big edges and go more or less straight up.  The topout can be tricky for some.

Climb the arete using some face holds on the roadside face of the K-Town boulder.  A super softy at V8 but classic nonetheless.

This climbs the huecoed face at the left of the graffitti.  Watch out for a funky animal nest/pile of crap nestled in one of the huecoes right by a key handhold.

Another short climb on the K-Town boulder circuit. Much easier than Shit or K-Town, this boulder is honestly not all that interesting. But I suppose it isn't offensive either.

Start on thin, unpleasant holds, and balance up a couple of moves to jugs and an easy topout. Nothing to write home about, but if you're just coming to the area, it will get you a little more exposure to the rock type with minimal commitment.

Sit start on the wicked tufa. Reach up left to a sloper then right up to flake. Big rock over left to the arete and top out to the right. Top out is a little freaky (but we like it freaky, yo!).
