Fun arete action on decent holds to a crux topout. Safe and good. Continues to clean up very well.

I'm giving these boulders names, but please tell me if they have already established names.

The Giving Tree

The low mantle to sloper topout in the middle of this face. Fun stuff.

I made up names for the lines on this boulder, so just let me know what the real names are if they have already been named.

Crimpy power line on the left side of the UFO. Really good, but I don't like crimps as much as open handed holds, so it's not my favorite line on the boulder. That said, it is really good, and on great stone.

Start on the wide good crimp slot, paste feet, shoot up to a thin crimp, then a satisfying move to a glory jug at the lip, and a low/moderate difficulty topout.

The stand start to The Giving Tree. It's the original line on the boulder, before the Giving Tree was put up, before Land of the Free. Big moves on small, subtle holds on a steep wall. Steep movement on granite, it doesn't get much better than this.

The coolest line on the boulder starts on the end on the right, shoots up through holds to the lip, then cuts across the face to the left, and finishes on the arete in the middle of the face. Tricky towards to connect to the left arete.

Really cool cryptic line (at least for me it was tough to puzzle out). You'll notice when you come to the boulder some obvious holds on the left and a nice finish rail up and right. It may look obvious to you how to connect them until you step on the wall. Pretty tricky stuff.

The straight up looks good too - anyone know if that's been done?

Cool straight up in the middle of the boulder opposite the UFO boulder.

A gutsy little fella on the backside of the UFO boulder.

Start on low edges, then work up through big holds to a pretty high and committing finish over an imperfect landing. Might be worth bringing all the pads down there to do it. An unprotected fall from the lip could be gross.

Gorgeous flowing movement up a steep, perfect, granite roof. Reminiscent of more famous alpine bouldering areas in the US. Spectacular.

Start sitting with hands on the crimp on the left, and small ball shaped hold for the right.
