Beast Boulder:

 (Kodo-Podo is the names of the two ferrets in the fantastic B-movie "Beastmaster")

 -Stand start to Beastmaker

 this problem is on the Beastmaker Boulder, and starting on the left side of the arete. stand start up on top the bad landing rock (pad it) and grab onto the finger jug with a left hand, and side-pull the opposite facing crimp-rail on the edge/corner or the arete with a right hand. wedge a outside edge foot in an in-cut slot on the arete and fire/fall into a very shallow left handed crimp line as a side-pull. bump up high to a slopey rounded bump/sloper and then make a fun move out right to a small knob on top. heel hook right and work up through a larger (less positive than it looks) knob further up for the top out.Bold Text

Kodo-Podo

Mini-Beast

Big Boy (Man-Child Right)

Beastmaker

Man-Child

Beast Master

Sit start matched on the right arete of Beast Boulder (same start as Man-Child right hand). Move up right and around the corner to a small crimp shaped like the top of a half circle. From here, trend left on poor crimps, slopers, and side pulls into the Man-Child top out. 

 First ascent by a 4 foot, eight year-old. There may be tall person beta that breaks the grade. Please comment!

Mini-Beast is a one move wonder type of problem, but fun nonetheless.  

  Walk to the right from "Beastmaker", passing the Hemlock. Just past the tree, look for the slightly concave portion of the boulder, low, and you will find two, small, little three finger dish-type dimples.  

  Sit start with a high foot with hands on the dimples. Pick up off them and make a HUGE reach up to the thin ledge. Top out from the upper ledge and be sure to use the awesome lobe up top at some point... 

Classic!  

  Start out from the sit, with half of your body under the arête, feet squeezing the belly of the boulder. Your hands will be on either side as well, left hand on the bottom-most small slot, right hand on the jug ledge.  

  Move up along the arête staying to the left (moving right is the problem called "Man-Child) and climbing the tall side of the boulder until the highest point. Reach to the right to gain a good small knob and heel hook out right to mantle over the arête.

Beast Boulder:----Update: A hold has broken within the spring 2015 timeframe, but the line still goes at V6 thankfully. This is due to the mostly unused, horrible, sloped edge flake breaking and leaving a more useable, in-cut side-pull edge just under the small roof.Do the standard Beastmaster sit halfway under the belly of the boulder. Squeeze the bottom on either side with feet, right hand on the ample jug ledge, left hand on the smaller low in-cut edge at opposing the arete.Gain the larger in-cut hold above your left to match. Boost straight out to the goodish rail below the lip to the far right. (Latch the new side-pull edge below the lip) Move into the small pocket and then into the flat top out hold. press out a mantle.

This is a "Beastmaker" variation...

 Instead of busting out to the far left to the sharp little dimply side-pull hold( and falling into the side-pull) as you do for "Beastmaker", off of the big jug toss straight up the arête and hold the hard gaston. Finish directly up the arête. Basically climb Beastmaker without going out onto the left face.

 Technically this is an eliminate but don't write it off, this it's a good variation for sure!

Easy access and plenty to choose from. Several popular boulders can be found here. Come check this thing out alongside the just-as-classic Tiger Boulder that forms the cave-like feature commonly referred to as "The Room".
