A sit start to "Cracked Pipes" adding one v-point. After the V5 start move, it is a test of power endurance to complete this boulder problem.  A pad at the start is helpful and kosher/legit to get to the starting holds. Watch for loose rock in the seam near the top of the boulder.

Sit start with left hand pinching the arete/flake and right hand crimping just below. You can smear your left foot on the rock behind the flake as it is connected and part the same boulder. Pop up to perfect slopers and traverse the lip all way to the jug flake from Jacob's Ladder.

Starting on a crimp and somewhat good edge, work your way up the bulges. Get a foot up and mantle to the top. A fun albeit burly problem.

Start on the flake that looks like an arrowhead and move right into a couple of crimps that lead to the horizontal crack on the main face. A few slots in the crack lead to the microwave block. Make it here and push it to the top through the crack.

A deadpoint off of some crimps to a sloping block. Stick that and move into the crack and up.

Stand start on a couple of crimps. Move up and slightly to the right over the ramp. Finagle some feet and reach for the lip.

Start on the flake that looks like an arrow and move up into the series of flakes onto a slab taking you to the top. Slightly overhanging fun and easy beginner climb. Some of the flakes feel thin so be cautious. I did pull on them to no avail though. The rock is pretty strong. Spotters and extra pad on the rock to the left of this climb is ideal.

A large boulder with a few nice lines and some potential for more. I'd say it is a good 15-20 ft high by 25-30 ft wide. The main face is slightly overhanging. The rock type is the same strong and gritty anorthosite found at the nearby cliff as well as the rock found at the popular Sawmill Creek Dome bouldering area just 15 miles south west. I am sure people have done these before and probably named/graded them. I am posting them with names for reference and for others to enjoy. Let me know if you have any info as I will happily edit.
