Hairpin Arete - Stand Start

Head up the slab without using either arete.

Start with a left hand in the slot and right hand on the arete.

Sit start with both hands on the arete. Move up the arete using any of the holds and top out the boulder straight up or up and right.

Climb the arete, from the north side (to the right of the north face)

This is an unnamed boulder with an easy face, and easy access off the top. My first shot at bouldering!

Climb the up the arete and then move right before the loose rock, sharing the top out with "Raw Tips".

To start, look for a sidepull for the left hand around the left side of the arete, and a ripply crimp for the right hand around the right side of the arete.

Apparently a sit-start variation is also possible, obviously increasing the difficulty.

Start on the right side of the Hairpin Arete, pinching the arete with your left hand, and using a shallow right hand mono.  Stand up and pull onto the slab above (fun crux).  Once established on the slab, it's easy climbing to the top.

Climb the slab face to the left of Follicle. Small crimps and delicate feet lead to an exciting move(s) to the lip. Top out.

This climb is not in the Swan Falls Bouldering guidebook. I don't know its history, name, suggested grade, etc., so if anyone has any info, please share.

Not really sure about the grade, but felt about as hard as other V3 slabs I've done, but your experience could be much different.

Climb straight up the overhanging face using large edges.  The climb features great movement and fancy footwork on impeccable rock.  If you're in the area, this one is a must do!

Start at the face level crimps, get your foot to stick to some tiny dishes, and make a reach for a higher left hand edge.  If you can make the reach and stand up without your foot popping, you're basically done.  Finish on good holds to the top.

Heel hook and slap up the arete.  Fun!

The sit start is supposed to be V5.
