From the shelf that bisects the arete move up onto a good edge then a sloping one. Make a more difficult move to a hard to see when your on the wall pocket then the very juggy top.

Very small and sloping holds up the slab. Good foot work and balance allow you to pull off of the 2 and 3 finger dishes that this problem presents. Finish off with a long move to get to a knob that looks like a dice stuck into the wall and a final move off of it to the top. 

  Try not to step on the knob when topping out as it may break off, the top out is easy with out it.

Start on the munchy looking but actually quite solid rock and reach up for the Horizontal flared crack that runs into the right side of the cut out in the roof. Work your way left on the slopers to the cut out feature. Get your left foot up on the opposite side of the cut out and knee scum to reach up into a good side pull. Match hands and back step the horizontal to reach up into a juggy hueco near the top. A couple of easier moves lands you on top of the boulder.

From the sharp flake move left onto small rounded knobs. Then a small crimp out left and a sloping gaston. From here move to the top. The feet are pretty terrible, the wall overhangs about 30 degrees and the holds would be OK on a vertical wall. 

  I have not even tried it but it looks hard, even the start. If anyone has done it please post your thoughts.

Grab the sharp sidepull with your left hand and match with your right or start lower. From sitting, pull onto the wall, then gun for the toilet bowl up and right. Try not to fillet your finger tips or thumb on the starting holds. 

Really hard pulling off the ground, no bouncing off your butt.I've been told that this is V10 and to start it seemed it, but when I did it it felt easy, so I tried to do it again imediately after and could not pull off the ground. So I'm not really sure on the grade.

Sit start good right hand pocket and a sloped left hand pocket, move to good left hand side pull, set feet and make a fun drive bye dyno to jug scoop.

Use both pockets and the arete to climb the short clean face to an easy top out. Using a foot on the arete is key to success at the grade. Otherwise eliminate the arete all together and go from one pocket to the next for something quite a bit harder.

This is the large boulder that sits up the ridge from the NASCAR Boulder about 100 yards or so. The face that you first come to is sunny and has 4 or 5 problems on it, a couple of slabs at the lower left then steeper problems as you work your way up and to the right culminating in a steep arete as the boulder turns the corner. On the uphill side is a short steep face with possibly the hardest problem at Ponderosa, The Core Problem V13 climbs through some very small edges and knobs in black rock. Also a convenient downclimb through the toilet bowl feature. The backside of the boulder is the wave itself, this wall has a traverse but the rock doesn't look very good. A couple of lines look as though they could go up the face but the landings tend to slope away. The last face as you work around the boulder does not have much to it.
