Sit start the arete lip traverse using slopers, sidepulls, precision footwork, and good old fashioned hard scrabble that gets you to an amazing finish directly over the prow feature. The stand from the “jug” goes at V3 or so.

Stand start the blunt arete to the right of the start of Sucker.  Work your way up the arete to thin hands and feet before gaining the Sucker crack. There is an escape that goes right to the crack system that is a grade easier.

Sit start with your hands on an angled crimp rail. Gain a good, interesting hold up and right. Move onto the face and up into easier ground (maybe 5.6/7) that trends right up the crack/corner system.

The easiest way up is also the easiest way down. Climb the low angle face using good friction and ledges.

Sit start the face between the crack system on the left and the blunt arete on the right. Delicate moves up and left into the lower crack. Follow the crack with your hands around the corner and cruise up easier climbing to the top. There are a couple of solid jams in the crack, which is what I thought made it great.

Start standing on a block on with your hands on whatever is right above you and feels right. From there, traverse left to good holds, and then make your way to a big jug. Move left around the corner to a good sidepull, and after you've rested, venture left around the corner into easy climbing at the top.

 Once you move past the sidepull, the fall will likely be pretty nasty, but luckily once you've moved around the corner of the last block, you're on easy street. This climb feels more like a run-out lead than a boulder problem.

This is a huge boulder close to a couple houses but is within the park boundary. There are many lines, most being highballs. There is one overhung face with a very hard looking, right-trending seam. There is a moderately hard looking (V6-8) arete problem as well. On the right side of the Southeast Face there are different variations into a flack/crack/dihedral system. On the side facing the house there is a 25' highball that looks fun and needs a serious cleaning as of 2017-06-09.
