Such slopers!On the upstream-most point of the boulder you will find an undercut roof. To the left side stand start with your left hand on the low sloper at the lip, and a right hand undercling/side-pulling the thin small crimp. Move past the higher sloper, move big and right to the wide round side-pull, then climb directly up the face to top out.

Sacrament Stand

.The Cardinal

The stand start. Begin at the point where you would jump out wide and right from the sit. This is with your left hand on the higher of the two left sloper/pinches and a right hand compressing wide and right at the rounded sloper. Finish as per the sit and climb direct up the face from there.

Short but sweet river roof climbing!

 On the far side of the Cardinal Boulder (Furthest from the GRG Trail) look down in the riverbed for the deep roof. A water landing will need to be built. Find the block ledge under the roof with the wild in-cut jug hole. Sit start matched at the hole and side-pulling beside it.

 Toss and match the perfectly smooth football sloper. Dyno to the flat lip and hold on. Mantle out and over for all the glory.

A huge, flat expansive boulder with only a handful of possible climbs. Its also paramount to crossing the river during most of the year. Touching it is the Drought Boulder (closer the trail). Only during low water levels can any of this boulder be climbed. 

  To climb the Cardinal (V7) the river needs to be quite low.
