A slabby problem that might be v2 if you are under 6 feet tall. Start with a low down smear on nothing, grab and undercling and a crimp rail, then high step foot-hand match to glory. Really fun and very delicate.

Somewhat separated from the rest of the boulders in the field, this is one of the taller problems in the area. The crack starts small low down and widens quickly to hands, then fists and finally goes wide less than half way up. The feet are excellent. For the most fun, resist the urge to start on the high jug. Plug a hand jam and start on the small feet before giving into the deliciously good holds and solid feet for the rest of the way up.

Walk off the back.

Tall! Overhung! Technical! Shaded! Get on it!

On the Spirit Heal boulder, this line starts low on jugs in the center of the boulder. The jugs give way quickly to good crimps and those recede to bad crimps. Take a left turn and follow the semi-horizontal fingertips crack up until it widens to a jug and make a move for the top.

I did not complete this route as I was too excited about the new area to work long on a problem that is at my limit. I would imagine that such a well defined line has been climbed, and there was definitely chalk on the start holds. If anyone has completed this climb and wants to name it and confirm the grade, let me know. Otherwise I'll get to it on my next visit.
