Trail's End Boulder:  

  - This is the 360th established problem in the park!  

   Hike down and this will be the in the first set of climbable boulders you come to and it will be on your right, directly beside of the trail. Walk around to the backside of it (the side facing away from you as you hike down to it). This side will look like and egg/oval... this problem will be up the middle tallest part from the stand start.  

   Stand start on fairly high up on the boulders face, about two feet to the left of the massive downward/right facing sidepull feature. Look for the two opposing edges to start on. a right facing bumpy sidepull for your right hand, and a left facing sidepull high up for your left.    get high feet and make a tricky move up and left to the huge flat drop stone knob. Work up and slightly left to gain more knobs. Top out above the start.

~Trail's End BoulderMake your way down to this boulder and you will see what all of the Hullabaloo is about. This is one fun little line. -Hike down (down hill from the parking, dont walk over to the start of the trail with the overlook) and this will be the in the first set of climbable boulders you come to. It will be on your right, directly beside of the trail. Walk around to the backside of (the side facing away from you as you hike down to it) and this line is on the right portion of the main face.Look for the big diagonal, right facing (slightly downward facing) side-pull feature. This is your starting point. Stand start matched on the side-pull and make a tough move to gain the knobs to your right. Continue up through more fun knobs to the easy-breezy top out.

Trails End Boulder:  

  Hike down and this will be the in the first set of climbable boulders you come to and it will be on your right, directly beside of the trail. Walk around to the backside of it (the side facing away from you as you hike down to it). This side will look like and egg/oval and this line is on the right portion of the main face. look for the massive right facing (slightly downward facing) side-pull feature. three feet to the right, and down a bit will be a right facing, near vertical, long, thin crimp rail. Match start here.  

  Stand start matched on the crimp rail. Pop up to the thin crimp above, and fall into the nice undercling.  

  Pop out to the far knob, establish, and trend up and right to a large, lovely jug knob. Trend up and right to top out.

Here it is. This one is the worst line on the boulder. Its awful but also weirdly fun to try because of how difficult and not-classic it is, despite being directly beside the LRT.When looking at "Matador" and "Hullabaloo" this is to the far right, the closest line to the trail. Find the pointed "tip of the spear" undercling chunk that is about at heard height. Sit start below this undercling on the side-pull crimp and the rounded section below it.Use any feet possible to get yourself up into the undercling. Use the arete edge and seam above to take the line up the easy slab to the top, and take satisfaction in the fact that you did such a ridiculous problem. 

Ill say ahead of time, this problem is only fun if you do the low/squat start, which makes you use two awesome, balance specific bumps that are the size of pencil erasers to gain the better holds pretty cool in my book but may be too contrived for some boulder problem snobs who dont like squat starts  

   Hike down and this will be the in the first set of climbable boulders you come to and it will be on your right, directly beside of the trail. Walk around to the backside of it (the side facing away from you as you hike down to it). This side will look like and egg/oval and this problem is on the far left main face.    -go to the far left side of the main face where the ground starts to incline uphill more. As the boulder begins to wrap more to the back you will see a dead tree which has been snapped in half. Ace is on the climbable face which is before you get to the dead tree.    -Start squatted with a right hand on a very low crimp and a left hand very low on a sidepull in the rim of a dish that is about 1.5 ft off of the leaves get a high foot and balance gain the two tiny eraser bumps and balance through to gain the higher crimp into the crimp rail. Match and follow the next knobs to massive jugs to the top out

This takes all the fun out of the problem in my oppinion, but serves a a good warm-up...

  -Stand start on the good knobs and walk up the easy face to the easier top out.

This is the most easily recognisable boulder at the Trails End Area. It is also (in my opinion) the best boulder in the lot. Its pretty tall and host to multiple quality boulder problems. The best ones being either Matador or Hullabaloo... This boulder has your standard issue crimps, leading into bubbled slopey knobs toward the top. The landings are great and the boulder is directly on the trail.
