Follows the " Obvious " line up the block. When Hiking around the Lake on the Sylvan Lake Trail you walk directly at this boulder. The face that is facing the trail is where the problem is. Look up the left side for features.

Samurai

Death By Bukkake

Hatori Hanzo

Start low on the right side face / arête. Move up on small edges into the seam above. Cross through with your left hand and hit the jug. Move feet into seam and hit the good holds up top. Needs some cleaning. R rating because you could easily hit the slab rock on your right side.

Start the same as Samauri (V4) instead of going up and left. Head up and right cutting across the middle of the boulder and exiting slightly to the right of the center.

The Samurai Boulder was kind of hidden for many years. Trees shaded it and kept it a mystery until 2013 when the trees by it were removed due to the Pine Beetle. Chip Phillips has a classic line up the left side of the face. Chuck Fryberger has another fun problem that is more of a direct up the face.
