Start on an obvious low two hand match on the far left edge of the boulder. Traverse the entire boulder to the right staying at least 6 inches to a foot below the jugs near the lip of the boulder. This seemingly holdless variation to the traverse requires finding all the small, often sharp or bleak holds and dialing in the sequence before sending this super sustained enduro test piece. A good route to work on  when taking a break from working the near by Scotts traverse as it's a short step down in difficulty, but not endruance. Named after a small fire swept through the area a day or two after the FA.

Ashes in the Wake

Scratch'ems

Scootchums

Scotch Tape’ems

Topo (p.52) reads: Start Right 6, Left 7 (the lower bad hold), R8, L9, R10, R11, L12.

A specific eliminate problem, sit start on a right  triangle crimp and left hand sloper side pull. Move up to a higher right crimp and move right to the obvious sloper and topout on good holds. See page 52 of the guidebook for topo details. See beta video in comments.

Another fun variation on the Scootch Boulder. Unclear if this had a name so I made one up that went with the theme. If it already had one please let me know so I can change it. Start as shown in the topo/beta video, then keep traversing right through the start holds for Scooth'ems, ultimately making a big move out right to a small brick pinch and up (see picture for precise holds and sequence). Pretty fun if you've done everything else already.

Topo (p.52) reads as: L2, R1, R13, L7, R6, L9, R10, R11, L12.

An eliminate, sit start with your right hand on the broken triangle and left on the pinch just above. Move right into Scootchums, but avoid the higher right crimp and make a big move to the top. See beta video in comments.
