Start anywhere directly below the window sill. There is a good, obvious low ledge for your left foot and several options to crimp with both hands. Work your way straight up and top out by matching on the first window sill. To get down, drop straight onto a crash pad. The top out isn't too high off the ground so no worries there. Really fun slab problem and great for beginners!

Start by stepping up on the concrete slab in front of the black fence. Pull on the arete (edge of the building) with the left hand, and step on the obvious ledge with your right foot. Reaching out pretty far with the right hand you'll find a decent crimp. Match the left foot next to the right on the ledge and start the traverse from there using whatever crimps and footholds you can find. Move to the right all the way to the other side of the wall. Finish by matching on the marked crimp as seen in the picture. The problem is really fun and trickier than I expected it to be!

This slab-style bouldering wall is located to the left of the Villas on Nueces Lobby and just to the right of the Skyloft parking garage. It will be pretty crowded during the day since the wall is on the sidewalk of Nueces Street right in the heart of west campus. Thanks to a bright street lamp located right next to the wall, climbing this at night would probably be ideal. The wall is very well lit and there will be fewer people walking by to bother you. The wall is decked with many tiny crimps that double as decent footholds along with a few full pad crimps and side pulls (plus one random mono that for now has no good purpose). There are several tree-shaded benches to sit on while resting but there won't be much shade on the wall itself if you decide to climb between noon and sunset.
