This beautiful arete is an outstanding problem with interesting movement, nice aestethics, and just the right amount of puckerup factor. On top of all this, the landing is flat and easy to protect.

Begin in the pod on the far left side of the boulder. Traverse right surfing through parallel seams housing a variety of veiled crimps and finger slots. Exit on an obvious system of crimps and pockets before your body is over the slab on the adjacent boulder.

The lower you stay on the parallel seams, the greater the difficulty tends to be.

Cave Direct

Unknown- Slab Route

This boulder is located at the far North end of the Grocery Store Walls. There are 3 nice problems on this rock.

1: Ascend the easy slab on the left side.

2: Climb the arete on the left side of the face w/out using the crack at all or moving feet around the corner (~V2).

3: Lieback the crack up the middle of the face, dyno for the top (V1+).  Killer move!

Top out on all of these.  There are great landings on several layers of pine needles.

"Colorado Bouldering"

describes the center problem as climbing the arete, but using the crack for a right hand or feet (V1).

This is at the north end of the Grocery Store Wall.  As you walk down the trail, the first boulder you will come to will be the Stage Boulder, and down and to the right of that is the cave.  The route traverses left to right on the crimpy rail eventually reaching the rail at head hight then a dyno to the jug on the left.

On the N face of the same boulder

Rocket Ship

is on, climb up the slabby face utilizing several large holds.
