A fun technical problem with poor handholds. Move from the right end of this short face, and move up and left on slopers to top out. The face and crack itself at left are OFF, but there are some foot holds immediately right of the crack are "on." If it feels like a good foothold, then it's probably off. Remember, you're only cheating yourself.

Easy, yet surprisingly fun slab climbing. A nice warmup.

Start in the crack at left of One Slim Fish. Bear down on some SMALL crimps with poor feet, and make some hard moves up and right, into the second half of One Slim Fish. One of the hardest lines in Taylors Falls.

The obvious crack is surprisingly difficult, with hands, ringlocks, fingers all available options. Do not use holds outside the crack!

Left of The Pit, climb the left arete/face to the overhang, pull over that, to the top and then exhale...

The very tall face left of The Crack. Stand start on the jug immediately left of the crack. The exact nature of this line is not entirely clear. Move either straight up, past a good match crimp to a pair of two-finger sharp crimps and lock-off to the top (straight up). OR, move left from the two two-finger sharp crimp over a no-fall zone of busted rocks to another crimp, and then up from there.

Sit start on right side of the bulge, move left and low through good vertical slots/crimps and up to the top off a poor, slopey foot. Finish using the crack right of Twinkle Toes. See picture and comments below.  

From the jug start of One Slim Fish (to the left of The Crack), dyno to the lip. I don't know the actual grade of this.

Jam your hand in and go. Use only the crack after the first move

Humping Bear is the stand start to Spread Eagle, which is the blunt arete to the right of Twinkletoes. Being with left hand on an undercling, which is on left side of the arete, and right hand on the incut side-pull, which is on the right side of the arete. Your feet will be on or around the large glossy foot sloper that is at waist height. From this position, gun for the slopey top-out. The side pull out left is on. --Description copied verbatim from Randy Baum's comment below--

A classic boulder problem requiring balance, body tension, and tenacity. Start on the jug immediately to the right of The Crack. There is a foothold "on" about 3/4 feet to the right. Climb straight up on right-facing seams and slopers and make a muscley move to the lip. No part of the crack at left is "on." 

The first area you come upon from the parking lot, there are a few excellent boulder problems that make this a nice place to warm up. Slick, polished slopers, and some thin crimpy problems, including the classic hard/scary problem One Slim Fish, the frustrating The Crack, and classic balancy V3 Twinkletoes.
