This problem is on the boulder behind and to the left of the Hueco Boulder and climbs perfect big edges up a long steep wall. Classic in my opinion. Larry Schaffer got the FA of it.

The Hurt Locker

Lost

The Painful Face

"Lost" is a newer addition to Baldy. It was put up during the RV projects pass through. Start on The Hurt Locker and make a move or two up and then cut left on small sharp crimps and crystals. Head slightly up connecting to the arête and the mantle finish. Gets a PG13 because of the boulders at the base.

The Painful Face aka The painful place is the obvious big black slab face to the left of Lost ( V7) Haven't ran into anyone that knowns information on it but please chime in if you know. The face would be classic with more traffic and a little scrubbing. Start up the black slab in the middle of the tall black face. Work small holds for feet and hand holds. The angle gets steeper the higher you go up. Good rock quality and has a committing feeling. Make sure to bring plenty of Crash pads!

The Hurt Locker Boulder gets its name from the Classic (V4) Larry Schaffer Route. It is a great boulder with good crimps up the middle. A few variations have been done to this route. One unknown route possibly by Shaffer as well exits out the left side of the boulder around V7ish.
