Just left of center on the main (North) face of the Mad Cow Boulder are a good series of jugs that lead to the top. Sit Start and follow the jugs, easy as that. A good warm-up to stretch the shoulders out or new climbers unfamiliar with climbing outdoors.

Mad Cow Traverse

Naked Lunge

Howling Mad

Sit start between Bovine face and Spare me. Left hand starts on a side pull.

Sit start slightly right of the middle of Cow rock on a decent rail. Thin edges and slopers bring you up to a big move over the top. This route has a few possible variations depending on how you start it ranging from V3 to V4/5.

Bovine Face Starts on the biggest hold near the left arete on the main (north) face of cow rock and goes straight up.  The crux is simply moving off the first hold.

Same start as Naked Lunch/Lunge. Make your way up and slightly left to the slope-y crimps on the ledge about foot down and to the left of the good rail halfway up the face. Find good feet and launch to the sharp hold at the lip!

This route traverses across both the entire North and West faces of the Mad Cow Boulder.  Its about 30 feet long and gets pretty pumpy near the arete and rounding the corner. Try and traverse back and forth as many times as possible for a good pump.

This route is nearly the same as Naked Lunch but instead of using all holds available, you dyno for the top from a good rail.

Sit start just right of center on the Mad Cow Boulder where Naked Lunch starts. Pull up to a good rail, get your feet up and lunge for a sharp hold at the top.

Sit-start on the right side arete of the main (north) face of the Mad Cow Boulder. Side-pulls get you to jugs, then up and over the top. Would be rated much higher if it were longer.
