This is a really cool and very aesthetic tidal wave bloc near

Dionysian Ecstasy

. Start on the obvious jug and make your way up the left arete using one or two holds on the face. Hit the obvious finishing jug in the center of the lip, throw a heel hook, and mantel.

Funky Groove is another overlooked moderate that is pretty fun for the grade. Start on an obvious, angling, fingery rail low and right of the rounded arete. Climb your way up the obvious scoop on varied and interesting holds. It gets a little tall, but don't worry, the top is easy.

It could use some scrubbing. I climbed it with no pre-scrubbing and went back to clean it up a bit, but it still could use some traffic.

A fun overhang offering opportunities for some optional crack technique. Start on an awesome right handed block pinch and a flat shelf for your left. Move up through the steep part of the overhang using a blocky hold for your right with a bunch of options for your left (I used hand jam to side pull to lip). Once established at the lip, traverse right along the horizontal crack and around the highest point on the boulder.

This could use some scrubbing. I climbed it with no pre-scrubbing and went back to clean it up a bit but it still could use some traffic.

Funky Slab is more fun than it looks. Start on the same angling, fingery rail that

starts on (lower rounded arete), but rather than going up and left on

, go up and right. More specifically, make a kinda big reach to a set of really good crimps, adjust your feet, and reach out right to a sidepull. Work up onto the slab using various small holds eventually reaching an odd pocket. The top is easy, so keep going.

This could use some scrubbing. I climbed it with no pre-scrubbing and went back to clean it up a bit, but it still could use some traffic.

Start low on some obvious big holds. Move up the lip reaching to some awesome blocky holds before mantelling toward the top of the boulder.

I didn't have a brush with me when I climbed this. Sorry if it's a bit dirty.
